I'm a pretty happy camper right now. Never seen Tommy Emmanuel perform, but just scored some great seats to see him in Dallas.
You know how we "guitar guys" who know all there is to know talk a bit about what we call buzzing? You know that undesirable, horrible sound created when the strings are so close to the frets they create a buzzing noise? Go back and watch and listen to the first video I posted and see if you can hear the low E on Tommy's guitar buzzing like crazy (the first being at about 18 seconds)? I don't think a guitar of Tommy Emmanuel's ever made a sound he didn't intend to make, so I'm really wondering just how undesirable "buzzing" is. I think there are songs in which it works......this obviously one of them.
In this case, it sure doesn't seem like it bothers Tommy Emmanuel.
