Tommy Emmanuel CGP

Tommy, what a wonderful ear opening experience you have given me this Christmas season and I thank you!!! I am almost 50 and have always enjoyed listening to many styles of music and musicians,so I decided to create my bucket list and take some guitar lessons. For the sole reason of enjoyment. So, just before Christmas my guitar teacher asked if I had ever heard of you and offered me a copy of one of you CDs, sorry I feel I just admitted to a crime my apologies. But you and your style of guitar have really woke me up! I have not felt this good about music an years. I really hope to attend one of your shows in the near future and introduce myself to thank you in person. You my friend have a incredible gift and talent, from what I've seen on utube personallity to match. All of the best in the comming year. Peace

Tommy,

I just heard of you today when I listened to Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Wow the most amazing music and artistry I have heard in a long time. I spent the morning listening to some of your other songs and I'm still in awe. I intend to buy some of your CD's very soon and hope to see you in the Florida St Pete area.

I hope to learn some finger picking techniques from you while I play my Martin.

I wish you a great new year and many blessings in your future musical pursuits.

Richard

Dear Tommy, I am a 15year old British school boy and have been playing the guitar since the age of 8. I am truly inspired by your style of playing the guitar & am currently learning your version of “classical gas”.
My father & I have tickets for your UK show in Exeter on Wednesday 13th March 2013 – over 500 miles round trip from where I live!!
I will be incorporating my visit to your show into my A-level music studies & am planning to perform your version of “classical gas” in my final summer show. I would very much like to meet with you prior to the show and if possible assist you with the show set-up. I have sent an email to your "meet & greet" email address.I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Thomas Bell

I would like to know how many brains you have? I count 12, one for each finger, one for your foot and one for the rest of your body.

Being from Memphis, I have heard MANY great guitarists, but your are by far the best acoustic guitaristNW2Zz I have EVER heard.

We will see you oin Nashville on the 27th of February, 2013.

Hi Tom, as always, THANK YOU for your continued inspiration! Saw you live for the first time in Boulder, Colorado in 2010, and then again last summer in Denver. Also looking forward to your upcoming concert next month in Fort Collins, Colorado. Everytime I see you I get more inspired... Also have a bit of bad news, we recently lost Gary Atkins, who I had gotten to know through my dad. Gary was a great guitarist, and until recently was always up for a good jam session. He had been battling cancer for the past couple of years. I will miss all of his great stories about his time growing up with Chet. Not sure if you ever get a chance to read this guestbook, but thought I would let you know... See you in January

Hi Tommy,

I've been doing fingerstyle for a few years now. Having a blast doing it. I also atrended Mark Hanson's guitar seminar this summer where I learned a ton.

I was watching your PBS special and noticed your right hand pinky is often resting on the guitar. I've been trying to avoid this but was thinking if you're gonna stand up and play maybe it's helpful. Do you have any advice on this? To plant or not plant?

Thanks, Paul
