Default Tommy Emmanuel used to be a killer electric player!

I never knew this, but it seems his ubiquitous fingerstyle acoustic styling wasn't always his main focus.

For you other peeps in the dark, check this! it's lots of fun too:

Apparently he's a drummer too..
Check out his amazing TED talk "My life as a one man band"

He did some electric work on his previous album "Little by Little." One of my favorite tracks on that album, "Haba Na Haba (Vocal)," has a tasty electric solo of his.

Used to be? He still is...

You should see when he and his brother Phil get up there together!

Last time I checked my electrics had the same number of strings as my acoustics, and gosh they're even tuned the same too.
