Tommy Emmanuel playing guitar how it should be done
tags:even if you don't play guitar you'll most likely dig this just because of the sheer musicianship and showmanship
and if you DO play guitar well... as scar said, "be prepared"

He was a master of the power chord, a guitar giant if you will.
Seems like an appropriate place to ask though, who're the Sift's favorite guitarists? I like Johnny Winter and Duane Allman myself.
And of course, the greatest of them all, one Mr. Kurt Cobain
favorite guitarists?
If I had to pick one, probably Jerry Garcia, but the list of great guitarists I love to hear is way too long for this little box.
I would compare him to a typist who is very fast and accurate but hasn't really got anything to type other than "i'm a great typist!"
I don't mean to sound so harsh though, i mean he is amazing. It's just i couldn't be arsed to watch it all. hence my decision not to vote up or down.
Cobain? His tortured, fast-burning flame of soul, wash a white-washed cry for help, and for me, that over-shadows any potential for greatness of merit....just look at the ilk that treat Kurt like a god-buncha manic-depression candidates, coffee addicted and screaming for help in their own way, 20-somethings, with a fried internal navigation system....
another one really gets me pissed-Dave Matthews and his College Cult Crooning, ....that man's shit, runs together like a Jackson Pollock mural-and the kids who worship him wouldn't know good music if it collided with their flavor-of-the-week, world views.....
Doc Watson, Django Reinhardt, Merle Travis-
Jeff Beck, Zappa, Ronnie Montrose, yes, the Winter Bros., hell....Angus Young....whaddya know, most of these guys are either still alive, or lived long lives with smiles on their faces...not needles in their arms, or booze in their livvers.....
