Travis of Trav's Thoughts has invented this delightful meme called 5 on Friday. Stop by his site to check out the simple rules and then sign the Linky to share some of your favorite music with others.
If you are not familiar with Tommy Emmanuel, here is your chance. There must be something in the water of Australia because they sure have some wonderful guitarists and Emmanuel is a true artist playing classical, folk music, or medleys of the songs of Peter Allen or the Beatles. His Wiki article is the link on his name. He happens to be touring the U.S. now and if you would like to see him in person, check out the tour dates on his Official Website.

On the following links is an excellent interview featuring Mr. Guitar, Chet Atkins, and Tommy Emmanuel.

Don't know him, Jamie. Good sound though! :)
I wish I had known about him being in Connecticut sooner before his show was sold out. "Classical Gas" has always been a favorite of mine right along with "Guitar Boogie". Oh to have such talent but not having any, I love to listen to those who do.
Really loved the last one, Jamie. I also hadn't heard of him before, (Chet Atkins, yes) so I enjoyed today's discovery.
Wow Jamie..this is one great set of music
I've never heard of this particular picker, but Chet Atkins was often played in my home growing up. My Dad, almost 82, still plays his guitar and the piano; my mother plays piano. I play the CD player!
Outstanding stuff! You know I love a great guitar player and Mr Emmanuel certainly is one of those!
Excellent post! Great "finger pickers" here.
(How did you get out of the dungeon?)
It was Vinny wasn't it...
NOpe it was your enamorata Mr. Depp who gave me an exit pass. We will not discuss how I bribed him.
