His name is Tommy Emmanuel and he is the $#@!!

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!

I sure wish I knew how to embed youtube videos on here...

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.

Spoiler!

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

ive checked out andy Mckee on youtube quite awhile back. i like the way he plays but the style he uses for each song tends to get too monotonous

ive seen a couple of tommys videos before.
i found out about him because of jake shimabukuro.
who is a crazy awesome ukuleleist (that sounds really weird lol)

anyway, yeah, the while my ukulele gently weeps with jake and tommy was awesome.
you guys should also watch the jake meets char videos.

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.

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.
