Tommy Emmanuel is very famous. Great Australian guitarist.

I have had the good fortune to see Tommy Emmanuel twice in person. He definetly gets a lot out of his guitar. He also has a great stage presence.

Great song and guitarist. Originally composed & performed by Mason Williams back in 1968 and like Davey Grahams 'Anji' became those must learn pieces for finger style guitarists. I remember playing it myself once upon a time but don't recall it sounding quite like that ;-)

Here is a cover of a Tommy Emmanuel song called 'Papa George' I stumbled across played by Tobias, who performs the song on guitar together with a chromatic harp mounted in a harp rack. He invented a foot operated lever for operating the slide button. It is very impressive. The harp comes in around half way through the video.

ps Don't know if it's my connection but Youtube vids are loading slowly at the moment and 'freezing'.

i also think Christelle did a thing with him as well.

T.E is def. well know and respected - among guitarists anyway. This cover by Tobias is pretty amazing. He's got a pedal operating the chromatic button - and presents very lyrical music,. His technical abillity is quite impressive - but it doesn't overwhelm the music. Very Nice.
