Tommy Emmanuel

[66 Cooper]

Saw him in concert in Montreal last night. Jaw-droppingly good. This guy is practically inhuman. You owe it to yourself as a guitarist to go see him at least once in concert. Just try not to get too discouraged!

Was there too. This guy has so much energy on stage!!! And can he beat his guitars. You feel humble in front of so much talent...

Going to see him this evening.

Caught the Toronto show last night in an old church, which is quite small with great acoustics. Awe inspiring player, Chet to Django, country, jazz, boogie, blues-you name it. Still trying to get my head around how he made the guitar sound like a harp with about 40 strings, finger picking and plucking harmonics at mind boggling speed. Did a great Beatles medley, pulling the capo off mid-song without missing a beat in Here Comes The Sun. Towards the end of the show he also started beating on the guitar with his hands and then a drummer's brush (also using the vocal mike as a "drum"), and sounded like a whole percussion section. Then he got some great delay going and created an amazing atmospheric piece. Never a dull moment - I'd go and see him again tomorrow.
