Hi All
There are brilliant guitar players who specialize in different styles. In the field of electric rock and jazz there are too many to list.
Tommy Emmanuel is an Australian virtuoso of the acoustic guitar, to hear him play in a relaxed Xmas party atmosphere in a music store in Bondi with Rene Geyer singing as, I did in the mid 70's, was a real treat to remember. His solo albums since then have redefined what guitar playing is and he continues to tour the world wowing people with his amazing technique.
