An accomplished fingerstyle player, Tommy 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. He's worked with the likes of Eric Clapton, Doc Watson, John Denver and the incomparable Chet Atkins. Emmanuel teamed with Chet on a 1997 project, The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World, which proved to be Atkins' final project. Atkins practically handpicked Emmanuel as his creative heir.
