Tommy and Phil showing off their guitar and performance skills during this show in France in 2001. Doing a medley of songs, with everything from AC/DC to television show theme songs. At eleven minutes in Tommy breaks a string but switches guitars 'cause they're havin' way too much fun to stop! One of the best performances I've seen of them as they pull out all their old tricks from playing each others guitars to both playing the same guitar. If you enjoy this video you might want to check out my video "Tommy and Phil Emmanuel - Four hands One Guitar" which they play the Twelfth Street Rag, as the do in this video too.

Guitars breaking, amps breaking, strings breaking: not a problem, not a pause, not a beat missed, not even the bat of an eyelid: Tommy keeps calling the numbers and pounding the rhythm, Phil keeps playing the lead, with a glance they swap, and as always when theses two forces of nature come together, they cause a rift in space and time: whether in Paris 2001 or your study at home as you watch on youtube; the Emanual Brothers are in the house, and the house is blown away.

You don't just practice and get this good. These guys are both wired in ways that none of us could possibly imagine. It's way beyond talent and gift, it's incredibly unique, one of a kind (OK two), masters of their instruments and their fingers. Seriously amazing stuff. I've played professionally, and if these guys asked me to sit in I'd find the closest door and run like hell through it.

How refreshing it is to hear someone humble on KZfaq for a change!! :) I've been learning guitar for a while now and am fairly dedicated but I agree, I think there's certain people who just seem to be able to play as if they've been learning for twice as long as they actually have! It's like 99 percent of us out there could NEVER run faster than Usain Bolt, even if we trained for the rest of our lives. These guys are just mesmerizing! I think it's a good thing that there's people like this to show the rest of us what is possible.

BULLSHIT! Drop that. There is nothing inherently special about tom and phil. They are just a couple of country kids, no more human than you. But they PRACTICED man, they didn't look at television they looked at fretboards. (I grew up with them) Tom plays ALL the time. The idea that they are wired in some superior fashion is just an excuse for you to feel o.k. about your own lack of drive. As for sitting in with them, you have to want to run to the stage not to the door. You won't get anywhere running to the door. I've played with them and would again in a heartbeat at any available opportunity. I don't judge your choices but don't make excuses for not being there.There is no secret...if it's in your lap, you are improving, if it's in the corner, you are not.

I had the pleasure to see Phil play about 15 years ago and what really impressed me was all the other pro guitarists (about 5 or 6) on the bill that night were just standing off stage watching his performance just like we in the audience were doing. He was admired by his peers for his unbelievable ability. He could have had it all, as I see it, but just wanted to enjoy playing without the stardom.

"Tommy Emmanuel is the greatest guitarist on earth today" He's a very fine player, as his his brother, but the best in the world?

All these and a host of others can lay claim to being the "best", but it all comes down to personal taste as to who you choose.

@@drj.r.cooper2493 Chet Atkins was a country guitarist, so clearly players like Tommy and Phil Emmanuel would appeal to him. But Atkins died in 2001, so he won't have seen many of the modern greats, nor is he likely to have seen many jazz-fusion or progressive rock guitarists, some of whom use advanced techniques like tapping and sweep picking that are not common in country music.
