  • This is a matchup that I've wanted to witness for a long time... Jake & Tommy are among my personal favorite "fearless" guitar players & this session was something to behold.
    All the best and keep rollin,

    Wow!!!!! It's always awesome to see Tommy Emmanuel picking with another musician, and he couldn't have picked a better one! I think it's awesome how he plays all these fingerstyle influenced licks in his flatpicking, which provides a great contrast to Jake's phenomenal picking! A+

  • @dantheman348

    Insane. Love how Tommy moves the song a little more with his rhythm parts, the walk down he keeps doing kind of adds a feeling of there being a bass present. Jake is playing the traditional rhythm which sounds phenomenal too, though I wouldn’t be surprised if he grabbed a few tricks out of Tommy’s rhythm book on that one. Jake plays flawless and sounds amazing on the picking parts, and it’s super cool what Tommy’s doing with the rhythm. Two masters in their own right.

    • @danmills8521
      @danmills8521 Před rokem +1

      Uh no actually he’s doing what would make sense in this scenario of being severally on every level OUTMATCHED!! Tommy is great but knows he can’t cut like Jake! Nobody can! So he puts added emphasis on the tempo, classic move when u know someone is way better, period!

    • @JackMasonLive
      @JackMasonLive Před rokem +1

      I agree with you, Daniel!! Jake is outstanding when it comes to bluegrass and flatpicking. However Tommy in his own right is a master of blending styles and techniques and no one does it like him either.

      @dantheman348 Před rokem +3

      @@danmills8521 first of all, I don’t think EITHER of these masters approached this encounter with the mindset that it is a competition. I think Tommy was stoked to play with Jake and vice versa. And it just so happens that Tommy made the entire song a little less anticipated by adding his personal flair to the rhythm, which is awesome in my book. I am sure he could play the straight traditional rhythm but why when it adds something new to play it his own way? I am sure Tommy can’t rip bluegrass licks as cleanly as Jake can, but that’s not the entire equation here. The cool thing is, Jake nails those parts, and Tommy adds his flair, and magic happens and it sounds awesome.
