Tommy Emmanuel is a living certified guitar player who understudied Atkins. I highly recommend seeing him live. As an amateur guitar player, every time I see Emmanuel, I am torn between practicing more or throwing my instrument away. Some of his licks just don't seem humanly possible. His most recent live disc is excellent. Check out "Guitar Boogie" on Youtube.
Certified Guitar Player
I have just finished watching Chet Atkins Certified Guitar Player on my local PBS station.
It has a great line up and was really entertaining.
It reminded me of how good Chet Atkins is. To me he just is the most effortless guitar player. It looks as natural as breathing for him.
I've looked at many of the past posts and see many enjoy him also. And so many other great guitarists are mentioned. But none to me seem as at ease as he.
My $.02 worth.
Regards,
Dave
