Tommy is big in Australia and over in Europe, but guitar fans in America have just been learning about him the past few years. He appeared at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention a few years ago and brought the house down. People have been talking about him ever since, and his fame is spreading. “He’s about the only guitarist I’ve heard who can come close to what Lenny did with harmonics, and he’s got a style all his own. I think he’s probably the greatest finger-picker in the world today. He’s inventive, fearless and has a flawless sense of rhythm. He’s a great showman, too. You can’t watch Tommy perform and not feel happy. I just love him. We made an album together in 1996 called The Day Fingerpickers Took Over The World, which I’m very proud of. It’s got some beautiful tunes on it, and our playing blended well. Tommy is going to give the world a lot of great music in the coming years”

Chet Atkins

]Tommy Emmanuel (born May 31, 1955) is an Australian virtuoso guitarist, best known for his fine art of “fingerpicking”. He is considered by some as the greatest fingerpicker in the world today.

Throughout his career he played with many famous legends like Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, Sir George Martin and John Denver. Some tracks of note include (but are by no means limited to) “The Journey” (a Top 30 hit in Australia in 1993), “Cross The Nullarbor” (off Determination) and his cover of Mason Williams’s “Classical Gas”.
