Tommy Emmanuel


I have been blessed to have seen many of the finest guitar players the world has to offer. Clapton, Santana, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse,Michael Hedges, and others. Tonight I saw some of the finest acoustic guitar playing ever from an Australian transplant named Tommy Emmanuel. Apparantly, he has been around for a long time and is a disciple of the late Chet Atkins. I was extremely impressed by his complete mastery of the guitar and more importantly, he was having a good time on stage. It was not just speed and technical skills. I do not own any of his music. Any fans or suggestions for recordings to pick up?

He's been around in Australia for over 30 years and has a brother (Phil I think) who also plays a mean guitar.
forgot to mention there is a local guy --Stephen Bennett--who opens for T E when he has been here--Bennett has a great beatles only guitar cd---
