Earlier this year there was a special on TV "Masters of Guitar" series. And the guy on this night was TOMMY EMMANUEL. The show was mesmerizing. How could I never even heard of this amazing artist. His command of the guitar is powerful. He plays acoustic. And generally solo. His style is unique but influenced by Chet Atkins, Charlie Christian, George Benson, Django Reinhardt. Kind of a blend of jazz, classical, blues, but with a unexpected twist. He's from Australia and his first album was released in the late 80's. If you've not heard of him, you deserve to give him a listen. Here's a link to a YouTube video.
