I absolutely love this performance by Tommy Emmanuel! Here’s the video: Tommy Emmanuel - Classical Gas. His fingerstyle technique is mind-blowing, and you can really feel the emotion he puts into every note. It’s like he’s telling a story through his guitar!

I remember the first time I saw him play. For me, it was Ed Sheeran’s acoustic version of “Castle on the Hill.” Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill. His ability to loop sounds and create such a full sound with just an acoustic guitar is incredible!

I’m a big fan of acoustic performances, and one that stands out for me is when John Mayer did “Stop This Train.” John Mayer - Stop This Train. His guitar work is so expressive, and you can hear the raw emotion in his voice. It really resonated with me

I have to mention Andy McKee’s performance of “Drifting.” Andy McKee - Drifting . His tapping technique is phenomenal! The combination of melody and rhythm he creates is just out of this world. I could watch that performance on repeat!
