Tommy Emmanuel, CGP
The Official YouTube Page for Tommy Emmanuel, CGP
Grammy Award winner, Tommy Emmanuel has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. At age six, he was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player (or CGP) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. Since he and his brother Phil taught themselves to play as toddlers, the guitar has been Tommy’s real first language, and he’s more articulate on his signature Melbourne-made Maton acoustics than most people are with words. Influenced by the Merle Travis/Chet Atkins fingerstyle of guitar picking, Tommy developed a style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band– covering drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar and a vocal melody simultaneously with no loop pedals.
