🔥 Tommy Emmanuel

Tommy Emmanuel est une vraie légende de la guitare et de son pays, l'Australie. Il a commencé à pratiquer à l'âge de quatre ans et a eu sa première guitare à six ans !

Il a acquis un succès inégalé pour un artiste instrumentiste. Que l'on en juge : il n'a pas moins à son actif de quatre albums de platine, trois d'or et de nombreux Awards. Son album "Only" est pour la première fois un album acoustique de ses compositions. Une façon pour l'artiste d'ouvrir sa musique au reste du Monde.

Il a participé à la cérémonie de clôture des Jeux Olympiques de Sydney (été 2000). Il s'est vu décerner par Chet ATKINS la certification CGP (Certified Guitar Player), certification que seuls 4 guitaristes au Monde possèdent, et qui le positionne parmi un des 4 meilleurs guitaristes de la planète !
