Tommy Emmanuel cgp (certified guitar player) releases his new studio CD The Mystery.
A finger style guitarist inspired by the legendary Chet Atkins (who became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans and gave the title c.g.p), Tommy uses his technique to organically blend folk, country, jazz, and other influences n his highly personal emotive compositions.
The Mystery, Tommy Emmanuel's sixth US album, was inspired by Emmanuel's travels; each of the album's compositions is a musical snapshot or sojourn; a journey that brings us together with places and people; a journey into self discovery.
Not surprisingly, Emmanuel regards The Mystery as his greatest work to date. Indeed, the album's many moods, idioms, and references to say nothing of its stunning virtuosity, fully demonstrate the complex though accessible musician that Emmanuel is.Solo Acoustic Guitar
