Just watched this TedX presentation by Tommy Emmanuel where he talks about his life as a "One Man Band" 

Its from 2014, but if you have not seen it, well worth a look!

Many consider Tommy to be the best guitar player in the world today and I tend to agree.

I just got a chance to see Tommy recently and it was really fantastic. Great player, personable guy, and great great music.

I got to see him in Dallas, what a joy.  He is the real thing as a player and person.

Went for a week at a Tommy Emanuel guitar camp. Being a great a player as he is, he was patient and had a fun sense of humour. The experience of a lifetime for me.

I've watched that TedX video a couple of times and I'm just amazed at the man's talent.  Also if you watch his interviews he is so down to earth and humble.  One of the best players I've seen for sure.

You got to spend a whole week with Tommy?

Wow! 

That must have been really something. 

I`d love to see him live sometime he`s a real entertainer.

I think of his music and playing everyday. The man like Steve is a real gentleman and master guitar player. Someone to appreciate and emulate. A lot of great players at the guitar camp. I'm sure Steve's got it wonderful at guitar gathering camp. Good lineup for sure. Another lifetime experience.
