Tommy Emmanuel CGP

Dear Tommy,

please visit us in Germany again! I've never been to your concert during my college times. My boyfriend is a big fan of yours. He plays (very) good guitar and he doesn't give up the hope that our kids will be as good as you!! Anyway, please please please come to visit Germany again in North Rhine-Westphalia (Düsseldorf will be perfect, that's 20 minutes from where we live!).

Looking forward to finally see you in Germany this year!!

I just bought my son a guitar and am teaching him basic chords. A friend turned us on to your "up close" dvd and we were blown away by not just your talent but the ease in which you play. I immediately found and purchased it for my son. We are in the process of trying to learn and play Stevie's blues. Its amazing how something that seems so simple can be so hard. Any tips for us? I hope YOU actually read this. Thanks for all your hard work that has helped so many !!

Hey Tommy E!!!!!

I wrote a Chet-inspired ditty that you'd sound great playing!! I posted it on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=385124518244575&set=vb.100002410917269&type=2&theater

Cheers man, lettuce know what u think!

Hi Tommy - After seeing you play, I thought about quitting. Love your style, technique, and dedication. Will you have any tour dates around Regina, Sask., Canada in the future?

I love your guitar playing , but everytime i sit down to listen .... I end up with my guitar in my hands a couple hours later...... keep doing that thing you do .... your inspiring

When are you coming back to Texas? I would love to get tickets so I can surprise my husband. He would love to be in a workshop with you.

I'm a huge fan

I've followed you and Phil for years. You have played with all the greats.
Did you ever play with Roy Clark?

Hi Tommy,

My name is Gabe Andrews. You gave me a call and left a message a few months ago giving feedback on my youtube video.

I have just realised that the email I sent to thank you was sent to a smaller fan facebook page instead of this one! I am terribly sorry about this and just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to watch the sample and get in touch.

Also I saw you play at the Enmore theatre and it was a mesmerising performance!

I have now finished recording the tracks, and have just put them on youtube (the links are below).

I am sending the masters off to get printed once the artwork is finalised and am looking at getting distribution on Itunes and other digital mediums.

After putting in countless applications, unfortunately I only ended up getting one festival in the first half of this year but I am really excited to be playing at the Blue Mountains Music Festival in March.

The plan is to head to America in July and pursue my career over there. I have had some interest from John Stropes who is affiliated with a lot of fingerstyle players in Wisconsin.

I would love to get any feedback from you on the final pieces!

My direct email is g.andrews@vibraphonics.com.au and phone is 0437 259 959

also I now have a facebook page under Gabriel Andrews Fingerstyle Guitar

Hope you have had a great christmas and new year!

cheers

Tommy,

I've been one of your biggest admirers ever since I first saw you playing on YouTube when I was only 13 years old. I, myself, can't read music, and started when i was 4 years old. You are a true inspiration and a fantastic musician. And in my opinion, and even better human being. I hope to one day get to meet you in person, and maybe even play a song or two with you! I'm actually moving to Los Angeles, CA. to start recording my first country album. I'm a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, banjo, bass, dobro, mandolin, violin, piano, drums, and harmonica. You are a true gift to musicians everywhere, and I wish you years upon years of good health, no broken strings, and all the creativity one could ever dream of.

Best Wishes,
John

Hello Tommy

As a fan appreciating your wonderful music both in Australia and the UK, I would like to introduce you to Benjamin Beirs http://www.benjaminbeirs.com/

My motivation is simply to make a connection for a young, talented, classically trained guitarist, with an 'Old Pro' (said affectionately!), as he makes a big move for his career from the USA to Paris this coming year. I'm sure your path naturally crosses with many wonderful musicians. Sometimes a little nudge with a connection can be quite mutually beneficial.

With best wishes for a joyful 2013, Sue
