I have heard Chet Atkins, Joe Pass, Johnny Smith, Les Paul play live; I
have listened to a whole lot of other great guitarists on youtube or on
record. Tommy Emmanuel is head and shoulders above all of them; he can
play in any genre, from classical to simple blues, and do it superbly.
Watch this video for a breath-taking demonstration of his ability.
