Tommy Emmanuel Playing a Nashville Tele

It's not traditional Tele playing and the audio is poor, but it's rare to see Mr. Emmanuel playing anything but his acoustic:

Tommy Emmanuel is quickly becoming my favorite guitarist, there isn't anything he can't play.

I believe that is a Kinman guitar he's playing there. Before he made pickups, Chris was ( is) a killer guitar maker. Now, I could be wrong, but I do believe Tommy and his brother Phil, ( also a monster player ) played Kinman guitars when they played electric......after the Maton electrics of course!

Whatever it is, Tommy flat out kills! I love his style, tone, phrasing....the man has it all as far as I'm concerned. Amazing musician.

That is such great playing. Several styles all moulded together seemlessly and executed perfectly. What more could anyone want from a live guitar instrumental? Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Some picker.
