Tommy Emmanuel - possibly the world’s best acoustic guitarist.
Tommy Emmanuel in full swing
Bob Tallent
16th December 2011
I’ve been trying to teach myself acoustic guitar for the past couple of years and am finding it very difficult. Add on to that the fact that I can’t sing – you will clear a room very quickly if I try to sing, even the dogs howl – and you don’t have a recipe for success. In saying all that, I keep trying and I try to teach myself finger-style guitar. The internet is a huge resource for people like me. When I was searching a couple of years ago, I came across a guy called Tommy Emmanuel. When I saw him on YouTube, I was blown away. What he could do with an acoustic guitar was physically impossible, yet he did it.

Don McLeanI remember sitting in front of my TV screen in ’71 watching BBC’s “Top of the Pops” when all of a sudden this guy started playing a song called American Pie. He looked kinda “too nice to be true”, hippyish but not! I was just blown away right from the start. To this day I don’t ever recall the effect that this one song had on me for the rest of my life!

Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Van MorrisonThis 68 year old Northern Irish Singer Songwriter has explored soul, jazz, blues, rhythm & blues, rock and roll, Celtic folk, pop balladry and more. He has referred to his music as “Caledonia soul,” reflecting his deep immersion in American roots music and Irish mysticism and was a member of the 1960’s group ‘Them’. The man was voted the 42nd Greatest Artist in Rock 'n' Roll by Rolling Stone magazine and is former First Lady, Laura Bush's favourite singer, even though he was invited to sing at President George W. Bush's inauguration, which he declined. He is intensely private and cantankerous and is not given to making public pronouncements. At 64, he faced an allegation that he had become a father again to a baby boy by a woman who was not his wife. He has 500 songs and 41 albums and in 1972 began to develop stage fright. His second and present wife is a former Miss Ireland.
