Tommy Emmanuel: Live Sheldon Concert Hall St. Louis (2005)

This Australian received his 1st guitar in 1959 at the age of 4 - being taught by his mother to accompany her playing lap steel guitar. At the age of 7 he heard Chet Atkins on the radio, & vividly remembers this moment and says it greatly inspired him. He was fascinated by Atkins� musical style � sometimes referred to as [b]Travis picking � of playing bass with the thumb and melody parts with the first two or three fingers at the same time. This technique became the basis of Tommy's guitar style, & he frequently uses his left thumb to fret bass notes on the 5th and 6th strings as well as playing chords such as Am and E with just two fingers. He uses a thumb pick mostly, a flat pick or just fingers. Grammy-nominated fingerstyle guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel has toured in Europe, Asia, South America, and the United States, bringing his music from the Australian outback to the rest of the world and creating legions of new fans in the process. None other than the incredible Chet Atkins has referred to him as "One of the greatest guitarists in the world," and Tommy is quick to acknowledge Chet as his principal inspiration. Tommy can be one wild player & still produce incredible sound, along with his humour, this is a must see & hear video, certainly worth your time.
