Watch out for the 'behind the scenes band talk' at the end of the video.


Youtube Video Caption: Here is a sneak peak into the makings of the Australian tour where Tommy plays with his band for the first time in 15 years. Apologies for the sound quality...it was LOUD in there!

Song: The Journey

Tommy Emmanuel is one of my favorite guitarist and I consider his audacious skill with the acoustic guitar a must see! Here, we see Tommy back on electric guitar after years of only performing acoustically. His album 'Only' and youtube videos are good places to start if this is your first time reading about him.

The song starts of as dreamy and then shifts at around 2mins and escalates another level... It's really nice to see a player on a different perspective after establishing his territory in the scene.

As like I've read at guitarnoize.com, 'his such an amazing talent it seems a waste to be confined to one specific style of instrument!'

Santana's Guitar To Weep For Perth

"Real-life guitar hero Carlos Santana will make his way down under next year for a string of shows around the country."

Perth's summer of music just keeps on getting bigger, with news announced today that one of the greatest guitarists of our time, Carlos Santana, will play at the Sandalford Estate in the Swan Valley.

Santana, who has sold more than 90 million records and played in front of more than 100 million people worldwide, will kick off his Australia/New Zealand Guitar Heaven tour in WA's popular wine region in March.

With his musical fusion of Latin rock, blues, soul and jazz, Santana has created his own style which transcends genre typecasting.

To date the Mexican-American guitar wizard has won 10 Grammy Awards and in 1998 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

At the tour he will show off his latest album Guitar Heaven ... The Greatest Guitar Classics Of All Time, which was released in September.

With the album debuting in the top 10 of the Billboard chart, Santana joins the Rolling Stones as the only musical act in chart history to score at least one top 10 album every decade beginning with the 60s.

The album features the who's who of the world's best vocalists to perform on every track.

Musicians appearing on the album range from former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, acclaimed cellist Yo Yo Ma to rapper Nas and veteran rocker Joe Cocker.

Tickets for the show on Sunday, March 13 go on sale Thursday, December 9.
