Emmanuel, Tommy

Hello, hola, cham sam nee da, ni hao, jambo!


I just wanted to rave about my new favorite guitarist: Tommy Emmanuel. He's an absolute beast, and his music is phenomenal. He defines the point I've been desperately searching for in the music industry: the point where natural talent meets hours and hours of practice meets truly entertaining music.

Among his greats are Guitar Boogie, Classical Gas, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps ft. Jake Shimabukuro, but my personal favorite is...



Angelina
What a beautiful name for a beautiful song. At first, Amos and I were wondering, who could Angelina be? A childhood sweetheart? His wifey? Mamma Mia? After a little research, the mystery was revealed: he wrote the song for his youngest daughter because of the fact that he missed her and wanted to spend time with her, but couldn't because he was always on the road as a rockstar. BEAST!
