Tommy Emmanuel - Ultimate Classical Gas Medley with Strings
This is hilarious! You won't find this anywhere else on Youtube: Tommy Emmanuel plays the ultimate version of Classical Gas, accompanied by the Endless Road String Quartet and introduced by a random medley from classical to country to rock'n'roll to pop and surf guitar, from Mozart to Harry Lime, from Chuck Berry ("Johnny B. Goode") to Buddy Holly ("Peggy Sue") to Pink Panther and Dueling Banjos, from Bonanza to Bond, from Shadows to Ventures.
Trying to keep pace with him is the Endless Road String Quartet from Lexington/Kentucky (left to right):
Julie Lastinger, violin
Christina Simpson, violin
Joanna Binford, viola
Rebecca Kiekenapp, cello
Tommy Emmanuel Guitar Festival Rietberg/Germany, August 14th 2008.
