TOMMY EMMANUEL, CGP

Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. Or at least they would if he were the kind of artist who was ever satisfied. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows worldwide every year. Tommy developed a style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band, drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar, and a vocal melody simultaneously. No loop pedals, no overdubs, just one man and ten fingers.
