Tommy Emmanuel is my hero.
I discovered him browsing through the videos on this website called WoodSongs. You can download the free concerts here and here and here.
He is mainly a acoustic fingerstyle player, although he used to play electric. Frankly, I wouldn't have idolised him if he was just simply a great guitar player. It's the things that he says that makes him different from most other players I see. Check out this interview with Tommy. I believe I have watched this interview only about 250 times.
I would even go so far as to say that knowing about this man, hearing what he says has given my life direction.
He is the perfect embodiment of who I want to be when I reach 52 years old. Then I will die a happy old man.
He has come to Singapore two times to date, and I'll post more about this later on.
