Specifications:
Tommy Emmanuel may simply be one of the greatest guitarist alive. A child prodigy, and possibly Australia's best-kept secret, Tommy is rapidly receiving the worldwide recognition he deserves.
A monstrous jazz, rock and blues guitarist, Tommy has a special affinity for solo acoustic guitar in the great tradition of Chet Atkins. So much so, in fact, that Chet himself has bestowed upon Tommy
the coveted title C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player).
In this book/CD package you will receive intensive, up-close lessons in solo guitar: "boom-chic" style, cascading harmonics (à la Lenny Breau), moving bass lines (check out "Lady Madonna"), Travis picking
