Tommy Emmanuel CGP

I enjoy your guitar playing, Thanks!

I would love to go to a workshop of yours, when will you be in Michigan?

There's a Michigan Fingerstyle Guitar Society ( http://www.fingerstyle.org/ ) that would be happy to host you.

Peace,
D.Reamer

Tommy, we saw you in Chico this last weekend. As always....thoroughly enjoyed your playing! Thank you! We'll look forward to seeing you again.

Thanks Tommy for an awesome show at the Rio in Santa Cruz last night. My oldest daughter and I also saw you in Visalia CA. a couple years ago and you graciously devoted your Beatles medley to my late husband. Loved the stories and the advice about practice, practice, practice. Hope to make it to one of your workshops someday.

Love, love, love this man. Super talented, down to earth, sensitive and funny.

I saw this man in visalia California in 2011 at the Fox theatre, super great show. I was super impressed.

I wanted so badly to get a pic with him but there was no chance, even with meet and greet!!!

I took it upon myself to "steal" a pic by running up to him, wrapping my arms around him and saying "You are so amazing", then I looked at my husband who had camera in hand so he could snap a picture!!!!!!!!!.

I took the picture to another show last night at "The Rio" in Santa Cruz, California and Tommy was sweet enough to take the time to sign my special picture!!! Thanks darlin!!!!

I LOVE him!! Thanks Tommy!!!

Yes, I will come back if you do..but don't know when you will be in Cali up my way again!!

God bless and keep you...you wonderful talented incredible person you!!!

Hugs and Kisses,

Julie Lilley

Hey Tommy great to see you're doing so well, I was lucky enough to meet you here in Adelaide a couple of years ago & you gave me some great playing tips...it will be great to see you back here in Oz

Dear Tommy,

Saw you at the Napa Opera House Sat. night....my band did a double header and I got there just in time! It was the most amazing show I've EVER seen. We are looking forward to your workshop on Feb. 9. Got the last 2 of 3 spots left. Sooooo excited. You are magic. You channel all the wonders of the Universe through your music. And such an obviously kind compassionate human being.I feel privileged to have witnessed it. Can't believe I get to go to a workshop.

With GREAT respect,
Lynda Castell-Blanch

I have been following Tommy for over two years on youtube...I would love to see him in New York, but never ever see my state listed as a tour spot...Long Island has the perfect "theatre in the round" for Tommy...It's called "The Theatre @ Westbury."
Such a perfect spot to "grab" all the guitar lovers on Long Island....I would even go into Manhattan to see him....Any chance??

Hi Tommy,
Saw your show at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. When are you coming back to the Ohio area? Most entertaining guitar I've ever seen. I play as well but after hearing you I felt like selling all my guitars. You're awesome.

Greetings Mr. Emmanuel. Im 18 years old student from czech republic intending to become a doctor. 4 months ago I started playing guitar because I just wanted to. The start was quite tough (im still absolute beginner) because the only guitar we had at home at that moment was dads 12 string yamaha and barrechords just hurt alot.Truth be told I got used to the pressure that strings evolve to my fingers way faster due to that. At this point I just play songs I like with open chords, barre chords and I quite like it. On the other hand when I see for instance your music I just question myself what is the next step? How do I start being creative? How do I start with ..finger picking? I am not native english speaker but Im sure you got my point. I would be glad if u gave me some sort of slight plan on how to get better on my guitar. Its just that im stuck in the fields of chords and dont know way out. Thank you in advance, Tim.

I wanted to thank you Tommy once again for coming to Los Gatos yesterday and doing the workshop. I was very impressed by your skill but even more by your open and honest answers and your genuine love of sharing what you have learned. Although I was likely one of the poorest guitarists there I wish I had been braver when you asked if anyone wanted to come up and play. Though I am near your age I had never played in front of anyone yet I think you would have made me as comfortable as if I was one of your mates. Sadly I hesitated and people started requesting you to play stuff instead. Maybe next time.

I am happy that I got my guitar signed by you. The guitar while cheap is priceless to me as it is the guitar that my Mom gave me some 30 years ago even though I did not intend to play guitar and started me on the road to something I love to do. Watching that love of playing at the highest levels so close was a real treat for me and I'm sure my Mom would be honoured to have the guitar signed by someone like you if she was still around.

(the guy at the end who asked about natural talent though with all the people you see I'm sure it was just a blur). I look forward to your concert on Friday night at the Palace of Fine Arts
