Odds are, they have never played that together before.
Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer"
The last comment on the video is by Jim Nichols: "Now Richard is going to play something hard."

Thanks for posting @mickey it's nice to see and hear 3 of my students' playing together. And if I might say they are coming along nicely.
Those guys are awesome not my favorite genre but their skill level is insane and I would gladly listen to them play all day long. I know I'll get chastised for this but IMO all three of these guys are so much better than any of the distorted high speed shredding and tapping crew that we guitar players ooh and ahh over. There I said it I guess I'm in trouble now but it's amazing what they can do with just an acoustic/electric guitar and their fingers.

They are all three awesome! I love seeing them together because they seem to feed off one another with each challenging the others to a higher level of playing!
Individually they are incredible! But together they go way beyond that!
They are each, individually awesome. If you get the chance to see any in concert, DO IT!
These videos were done at the Music City Sheraton in July 2018. There has likely been nothing like it since!
Glad you enjoyed!
