Tommy Emmanuel, Richard Smith - Mr. Guitar

Here are a couple of duets I played with another favourite partner of mine (sorry, Julie!), Mr. Tommy Emmanuel CGP. At the 2008 edition of Tommy's festival in the beautiful town of Rietberg/Germany, we opened the final show on Sunday afternoon with this little fingerstyle ditty. Tommy wrote it right after our common hero Chet Atkins had called him to ask whether they should record an album together. "Mr. Guitar", that's what Chet is and that's the name of the song. Tommy and Chet recorded it on "The Day Finger Pickers Took Over The World". I borrowed Tommy's Maton Jumbo for our performance.

Richard Smith with a steelstring, now that's something! Great stuff, with certain music I prefare the sound of steel over nylon. Got more of this? Is there a chance to see you on stage with a steelstring? To hear you play Django or bluegrass stuff on steel instead of nylon would be something.

Happy new year for Julie and you.

Best,

Joe
