One guitarist, one guitar, one good gig

- COMPETITIO­N

He captivates his audience as one of the most outstandin­g solo performers you will ever experience with his unique and inimitable style.

It’s all faithfully captured here as he performs to a capacity crowd at the prestigiou­s Historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Tommy had this to say about the show: ‘‘This is genuine ‘‘had to be there’’…no fix ups…no frills recording. Each of my guitars have pick ups and microphone­s included when you buy them, so the sound you hear from this recording is exactly as it sounds in the hall.’’

Recorded on February 27 2016, the album treats listeners to everything that is good about Tommy Emmanuel – something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue – it’s all here.

Including some brilliant medleys like While My Guitar Gently Weeps/Day Tripper/Lady Madonna/Classical Gas.

Chet Atkins, Tommy’s mentor and inspiratio­n, awarded Tommy with the Certified Guitar Player award - a rare distinctio­n shared between only four other guitarists in the world.

The remaining two, Steve Wariner and John Knowles join with him and perform during the concert.

Emmanuel’s technical pre- cision, his virtuosic improvisat­ions and his unusually broad repertoire, makes for a most enjoyable music experience.

Don’t miss this opportunit­y. One superstar guitarist, one guitar, one magical night of musical memories – this show will be very special.
