In this episode of Music Trails we meet Tommy Emmanuel, maybe the best guitarist on the planet, certainly your host’s favorite. Tommy will share part of his music trail which started as a youth in Australia, playing and touring in the family band, reaching out to his boyhood idol Chet Atkins and having the life changing opportunity of meeting and studying under him as a young man.

Tommy talks about his Guitar Camp which at the time of this interview is just kicking off in Nashville, meeting and collaborating with the great Mike Dawes, and shares his unique song writing and performance techniques. Tommy closes the episode reminiscing about his Walnut Valley Festival debut, and introduces us to his popular song Fuel.
