The incomparable Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel presents four fingerstyle exercises plus an arrangement of the classic tune Freight Train and two signature compositions- Mister Guitar and Dixie McGuire. This book would serve either as a reference text for one of Tommy’s workshops or as a helpful guide to developing fingerstyle guitarists working on their own. All selections are written in notation and tablature for the guitar in standard tuning. A convenient chord chart is provided in the appendix. All of the selections in the book appear on the companion CD. Intermediate to advanced in difficulty, playing these tunes literally involves the thumbs of both hands! Gaining flexibility and control of your left thumb, you too can play like TE!

About the Author
Hailed by Chet Atkins as "Without a doubt, one of the greatest guitar players on the planet," Tommy Emmanuel has electrified audiences from Steve Kaufman's diminutive Palace Theater in Maryville, Tennessee to the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Having concertized throughout much of the civilized world, this dynamic performer who, in his words "happens to be a pretty good guitarist," made his way to the fabled competition in Winfield Kansas as a guest artist for the first time in 2000. Shortly before Tommy's performances there, parking lot pickers were said to have ceased jamming and moved trance like in droves to a venue designed to hold perhaps 500, now packed with three times that number all to hear Tommy Emmanuel play an acoustic guitar! Although he has acted as a mentor to a dedicated few young guitarists in his native Australia, Tommy seems destined to make his mark performing on the world stage. His impeccable taste, flawless technique, and engaging personality have inspired fans and critics alike. Deyan Bratic is on the fast track in the fingerstyle guitar world. The son of immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, Deyan is a major talent with impeccable sense of pitch and musical taste. An accomplished pianist, classical guitarists, and electric guitarist, his fingerstyle infuluences include Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Lenny Breau, and Tommy Emmanuel.

Tommy Emmanuel is above this rip off,

This review is from: Mel Bay Tommy Emmanuel Fingerstyle Guitar Method (Paperback)
Tommy Emmanuel's cd's and dvd's are tremendous. But this "book" by Mel Bay Publishing is a joke. Why? Because it is the equivalent of 6 pages long. I could not believe this was ever priced at $15. It is a tiny step up from the free music folders stores hand out. It should have had much more material, or cost much less money and been labeled a sampler.
I've been around the music industry for decades; this offers little value.

This review is from: Mel Bay Tommy Emmanuel Fingerstyle Guitar Method (Paperback)
I prefer Mark Hanson's fingerstyle guidebooks better.
This book does not explain enough about finger-picking methods and it may not be easy for newbies who aspire to be Tommy Emmanuel overnight. Fans of Tommy and guitarists who are already proficient with fingerpicking styles will find this book more enjoyable.
