    Mr. Emmanuel is probably top 5 favorite guitar players. Or something like that. Top ten for sure. Probably comparable players. But his music stands out to me.

    It took me about 25 hours over a 2 week period but I finally learned this piece. Probably take another year to make it presentable but it will have to be slower paced! "Drive Slow Time". Thanks Tommy, every tune of yours I learn makes me a better player and makes my guitar sound even better!

    What a great talent and man. If you have never seen him perform live you are only receiving half the magic of the greatest guitarist/entertainer who ever lived. I have seen him 8 times now, plus a workshop, and he inspires me to keep working on my music. More importantly take a young person to see him and perhaps they will aspire to be the next TE.

      if you like Tommy...you should also check out a fellow Australian..a young gun called Joe Robinson who grew up watching Tommy. Joe's last 2 albums are in the pop-rock genre but his first album was fingerpicking virtuosity at 16. if Joe every moves back into pure fingerpicking, in my opinion, he is Tommy's heir. Big words I know, but Joe is extraordinary and also a song writer. Go youtube him and let me know what you think.
