Tommy Emmanuel

[stefan]

Regarding the thread about Santana and some others. Heres another question for the guitar experts. What about Tommy Emmanuel? Does anybody know him? He has a connection to Chet Atkins (fingerpicking style)- like LB also has- and even worked with him (unlike LB). Every once in a while he comes over here and somebody said to me that he is technically one of the best guitarists of the world. Beside doing his show on stage he also gives fingerpicking style workshops and so on. Can anybody say something about this? Is this another league of playing? Or comparable concerning technical abilities? Would be very interesting to get an estimation from you...
