Tommy Emmanuel - Classical Gas

[Helen]

This guy is awesome !

 

[Non sequitur]

Wow. Yes, you are right!

Been a Tommy E fans for years, check out his U tube stuff. Doyle Dykes is just as good in a more toned down sort of way. Both excellent at their craft.

Thanks for posting this link. I've always loved "Classical Gas" and .... wow.

 

[paradiseken]

WOW!!! Who is this guy? Loved it!

Compare this to the original by Mason Williams.

Loved it; and I never heard of him, either. What a talent.

If you enjoy Tommy E you should check out Michael Hedges.

Michael Hedges is perhaps the most innovative and kinetic acoustic guitarist in the history of the instrument, but he is first and foremost a composer who plays guitar, not a guitarist who plays compositions. His innovative techniques are a means to an end resulting from the demands of his compositions rather than conspicuous attempts at virtuosity.

so in the zone. excellent. hadn't i seen the video i never would have guessed it was just one person playing. yet another reason why i gave my guitar away in college.

Wow, and he can dance at the same time. With this cast on, I've learned to tie my shoes with one hand. But now I think I need a stretch goal....

I discovered him this morning.

Watching his "Guitar Boogie" right now. Apparently I don't get out much. I've not heard of him. Thanks for the link. Very cool.
