    Tommy Emmanuel: Inside the music

    Tommy_emmanuelAfter several visits to the Bluegrass, guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has
    become an exceedingly familiar face to Lexington music lovers.
    Folks
    who want to know a bit more about Emmanuel and his approach to guitar
    playing will want to pick up the January issue of Guitar Player
    magazine (the issue with the 60th anniversary of Fender guitars on the cover), which features a spread on Emmanuel in its Master Class
    section.
    In addition to an interview, there are several guitar tabs of
    Emmanuel’s compositions for guitarists who want to try playing like
    Emmanuel.
    One of the really cool things was the photo (right) at the top of a short
    article about Emmanuel’s guitar gear. It was shot in Lexington for the
    Herald-Leader by staff photographer Mark Cornelison, when Emmanuel was
    here in 2000 for his first concert with the Lexington Philharmonic.
       

    (Note: I would link to the article, but Guitar Player does not post its content on the web until well after the print publication comes out.)
