His name is Tommy Emmanuel and he is the shit!

He is one of the many reasons I backed off heavy metal a little more and bought my acoustic.

I've since then learned this song. (Well, not with all feeling.)

This song makes me happy!

The real feat for him is not playing the song.

But, playing it flawlessly with a bunch of off-sync clapping retards.

EDIT:
Here's more of his stuff to amaze yourself with.

He is amazing.
If you like him, you should probably look up Andy McKee as well.

But the sound he gets out of the guitar sounds so piano-like.
And his compositions just blow me away.

Yeah, Jake is pretty kickass.
That video when they jam together is awesome.
Tommy just makes people smile.

Thanks ICE!

I've had the song Mombasa stuck in my head all day.
I don't know why.
Most of the friends I chill with are huge heavy metal freaks.

But I listen to Tommy Emmanuel. :cool:

If you really liked that song, you'll probably like Those Who Wait.

Looks like Tommy has some new fans! :D
