ENTERTAINMENT: Tommy Emmanuel, for your viewing pleasure

Ever wanted to see who the "best guitar player in the world" is?According to Guitar World, it's Tommy Emmanuel. Below is a performance of "Classical Gas." Go to youtube or iTunes to hear more of his brilliance (I dare you to watch more of his performances. This video doesn't do justice to his stage presence and ability to be a one-man-band.) Enjoy.

look up a guy named Stanley Jordan. We saw him back in our college days. Another great guitar player. He taps the strings, it was ground breaking at the time and Eddie Van Halen stole or borrowed Jordan's technique and was proclaimed guitar god of the time period.
