Now there's an acronym I never though I would use... until last night when I went to a Tommy Emmanuel concert, and OMG. there it go's again.
This changes everything I thought I knew about what makes a great guitarist great.
I'm still trying to comprehend how one man with one guitar can produce sounds that mere mortals would need at least three guitarists and a percussion section to even attempt.
If the opportunity ever arises to catch one of his live performances don't dare miss it.

Now theres a tease if ever there was...

I was speaking with a colleague the other day and mentioned Tommy E as one (I say one because hey..it's all subjective) of the best guitarists in the World and the guy scoffed. I couldn't believe it...he has clearly never seen him play. Of course the guy I was talking to doesn't play guitar either.

I agree wholeheartedly with you Mick. The man can do things with a guitar that are simply amazing.

Willem,

This is Tommy;

This is just a sampling of Tommy and his amazing guitar skills. He is quite likely the worlds greatest guitarist.
