Tommy Emmanuel

If you like good and amazing guitar playing, I suggest you Google and/or Youtube search Tommy Emmanuel right now.

I swear he's the best living guitar player.

P.S. For the most "amazement" factor search for tall fiddler on youtube.

He is pretty good for acoustic. But I wouldnt say the greatest guitar player alive... lol.

Well, I may be a bit biased because of the fact that I know him personally. not to brag or anything.

eh.. pretty cool.. but i was far more impressed by this guy... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/10/hand ... arist.html

That just gets the job done for me.

Those two soloists you put up were really good though too.

Maybe "The best Acoustic guitar player Living" would be a more suited title.

Anyways, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

Nice Paul Gilbert vid Garrett, the one I sent you months ago. lol

Here is one of my favorites. Knocks little ol' Tommy down in my opinion. haha

Some really good guitarists in there. Definately worth the 20 minute watch.

Best acoustic living guitar player? There are a lot of those wacky mad hammer on acoustic guys, like Justin King

But for acoustic guitar, I am more of a fan of Segovia, he is dead, has been for 20 years, I dont even like classical that much, but he is amazing.

I dinf that for acoustic, finger pickers are usually better sounding then pick players.
