With 2 of, arguably, the best acoustic guitar players in the world... imagine how good Billy Strings is going to be if he lives as long as Tommy Emanuel....

Tommy Emmanuel always blows my mind. Even when playing alongside guitar greats, he always manages to shine a little brighter. He's always a little more refined, varied, relaxed and polished in all his playing.

I've always said, in the acoustic guitar world, there's the greats, and then there's Tommy Emmanuel.

Garland, Indeed. Tommy has got many years on most people he's played with. I've seen him play with a few other old timers, but most I've seen were younger than him.

It's all about the guitar player's "improvement attitude" as well though. Some get to a point of greatness and are happy to stay there and there's nothing wrong with that either.

Then there's the rare ones that have this insatiable desire to keep improving, getting to the next level, and perfecting. That's where Tommy shines. His improvement and perfection ethic is off the charts. With the younger ones, we can only speculate, wait, and see.
