Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! Tommy Emmanuel! and if you dont know him and u still think guys like steve vai are the best read this, “It’s always funny to me when people use the phrase, ‘Best guitar player in the world’. There are too many variables such as technique, uniqueness, emotional investment in the notes, etc. But If I had to pick one, it would be Tommy Emmanuel. Watching him perform can be a study in artistic and virtuosic human achievement.” - Steve Vai, Guitarist and Co-Owner of Favored Nations [Edited 7/29/07 17:34pm] What did you say his name was?[/quote] hahaha just makeing sure you all caught it  "Im Too Funky To Sleep With Myself" | |

Yeah. me too. I think he was self-taught, but he must have learned a holy hell of a lot quicker than I initially thought. I mean, this guy was the reaspn why "Fenders" have gotten so popular over the years. | |

As good as this guy is, he just doesn't move me at all! I prefer players with a little more soul! He deserves all the praises you give him, but I just don't dig him. This whole topic is completely subjective anyway!  | |

To each is own! my idea of soul is players like, Hendrix, Santana, Clapton, Stevie ray, BB King, Prince (of coures) but for me tommy has more soul than any of them ive seen him 5 times now and he never fails to bring the house down, one man out there with an acoustic guitar on his own captureing a whole venues attention and drawing everyone into the music is something reall special to be part of, the man is beyond compare "Im Too Funky To Sleep With Myself" | |
