By: Caryn Robbins May. 15, 2017
Esteemed Grammy Award-winning guitarist TOMMY EMMANUEL today (5/15) has partnered with Rolling Stone Country to premiere the performance video of "Tall Fiddler" from his upcoming LIVE! AT THE RYMAN album, out this Friday, May 19 via CPG Sounds. Click here to watch the video. Filled with his complex fingerstyle technique and energetic performances, the new album by the acclaimed artist captures a special night of music in Nashville, TN on February 27, 2016 at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Fans can pre-order the album now via iTunes here.
LIVE! AT THE RYMAN highlights EMMANUEL'S fervor as a master guitarist and also encapsulates a landmark moment for the musician as he is joined on stage by Steve Wariner and John Knowles, the only other two living CGPs(Certified Guitar Players: the honor and moniker Chet Atkins assigned not only to himself but four other guitarists he admired and felt contributed to the legacy of guitar playing) for a performance of "San Antonio Stroll." Last month,GuitarWorld.com premiered the performance video of that special moment--the only time all three living CGPs shared the stage. You can click here to watch.

ABOUT TOMMY EMMANUEL: Give a listen to "Old Photographs," the closing track on TOMMY EMMANUEL's It's Never Too Late, and you'll hear the distinctive squeak of finger noise as he runs his hands across the frets of his Maton Signature TE guitar. Many musicians would edit those imperfections out, but toEMMANUEL, those imperfections are perfect. A master technician,EMMANUEL started professionally at age 6, rising through the ranks as a studio player and member of several Australian rock bands before he set off on a solo career. One of only five musicians handpicked by his mentor, Chet Atkins, as a Certified Guitar Player (CGP), he's piled up numerous accolades, including two Grammy nominations, two ARIA Awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (the Aussie equivalent of the Recording Academy) and repeated honors in the Guitar Player magazine reader's poll. A noted fingerstyle guitarist, EMMANUEL frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. His talents, which translate in any language, carry him to the far corners of the globe, but EMMANUEL never plays the same show twice, and he improvises big chunks of every date. That leaves him open to those technical imperfections, though they also provide some of the humanity to an other-worldly talent.
