68-year-old Cowboy's Dream

Tommy Emmanuel celebrates 68th Birthday today. This legendary fingerstyle virtuoso received his first guitar at age four, playing her his mother had taught him. He quickly learned by ear, he did not receive any formal lessons, still unable notes.
Later he studied and perfected a unique style of play called fingerpicking, working with percussive playing all fingers usually in combination with a pick. Over time, it led to an unprecedented perfection, which still takes your breath away: Tommy fingers creates an ingenious play of the illusion that the stage must be somewhere hidden backing band, and it is not possible to do the smiling Australian, standing confidently on stage, he managed to keep everything himself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tommy!
