  • Songwriter and singer Tommy Emmanuel is best known for his complicated fingerstyle techniques and fascinating performances. Over his incredible career as one of the best guitarists in the world, he developed relationships with many other instrumentalists, including his mentor, the great Chet Atkins.
    Emmanuel was 7 years old when he first reached out to Atkins with a fan letter, and he was stunned to find a response from his idol a few weeks later. This was the beginning of a lifelong relationship between the two guitar greats. Shortly after Mr. Atkins passed away in 2001, Emmanuel wrote a tribute to him titled "The Man With the Green Thumb," a track that would appear on Emmanuel's 2004 album, Endless Road.
    Here Mr. Emmanuel shows off his singular fingerpicking style as he shares the complicated introduction to the song.

    For all the people moaning about this, if you can’t follow, you’re not ready for the song. Get the foundations set before you build the house, otherwise everything ends up sloppy lol. There’s lots of good videos on here that do Travis picking basics and other finger style songs that will help you build your foundations. These days I learn songs by ear, or maybe watching somebody play, but I used to watch a lot of instructional dvds and they were really useful.

    I am Kyle Teels nephew. He was Chets best friend growing up in mountain hill Georgia. He mentioned my uncle in an interview calling him a hero. He used to come to our family reunions until my uncle passed. I was to young to realize who he was . He was just a humble down to earth country gentlemen.it was nice to hear your reference to Chet. God bless you brother. God bless Chet. Phenomenal playing sir .
