You can help Australian super-picker Tommy Emmanuel celebrate the release of his latest CD by signing up for the National Guitar Workshop’s Acoustic Summit in San Francisco, July 15-20. The album, The Mystery, is due out some time in July.
Emmanuel is a finger picker in the Chet Atkins tradition – in fact, he and Atkins recorded together in 1996 on the CD, "The Day the Finger Pickers Took Over the World", which was nominated for a Grammy award. He’s been a professional guitarist since the age of 6, and last year made it to the National Thumb Picker’s Hall of Fame.
The Acoustic Summit will also feature Ed Gerhard, John Knowles (another NTPHoF member), David Hamburger, William Coulter and Catherine Berry.
