EMMANUEL TOMMY, SOLO GUITAR STYLE. Paul Hedman, transcriptions by Peter Pik. Tommy Emmanuel may simply be the greatest guitarist alive. A child prodigy, and possibly Australia's best-kept secret, Tommy is rapidly receiving the worldwide recognition he deserves. A monstrous jazz, rock and blues guitarist, Tommy has a special affinity for solo acoustic guitar in the great tradition of Chet Atkins. So much so, in fact, that Chet Atkins himself has bestowed upon Tommy the coveted title C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player).
In this book you will receive intensive, up-close lessons in solo guitar: "boom-chic" style, cascading harmonica (a la Lenny Breau), moving bass lines (check out "Lady Madonna"), Travis picking and much more. And for the first time a CD has been included so you can hear Tommy play all of these breathtaking arrangements. Titles include: Amy; Blue Moon; Cascading Harmonics; Countrywide; Day Tripper; Dixie McGuire; Freight Train; Lady Madonna; Limehouse Blues; Since We Met; A Taste of Honey; Tom's Thumb; Trambone; Up From Down Under; Windy and Warm. 204 pages. CD TAB.
