There are very few guitar pickers worthy of C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player) status. As the founder of that elite club Cheap NCAA College Jerseys , Chet Atkins should know! And when Chet Atkins calls you “without a doubt, one of the greatest guitar pickers on the planet”, you must know you’re doing something right. Tommy Emmanuel has been doing a lot of things right for more than 4 decades, stunning audiences of musicians and non-musicians alike throughout the world. Like fellow guitar performers extraordinaire Chet and Mark Knopfler, Emmanuel would seem to possess that sixth sense when it comes to framing a melody on the guitar fretboard. His guitar arrangements which appear in numerous collection books of country guitar tabs and country guitar tablature never come off as clunky Cheap College Jerseys , forced, or contrived. Instead, they afford the listener a crystal clear road into the heart of the fingerstyle guitar solos he performs.


Born in 1955 to a musical family, Tommy began playing guitar at the tender age of four. He was initially taught by his mother for the objective of accompanying her on lap steel guitar, but it didn’t take long for his own interest in the instrument to surface. Emmanuel can clearly remember the first time he ever heard Chet Atkins at the age of seven and it had a profound impact on him. He invested countless hours making an attempt to decipher Atkins’ complicated fingerstyle guitar methodology. Before he was ten years old Cheap NCAA Jerseys , he had already earned years of experience as a professional musician traveling with his family, performing throughout Australia. Tommy played mostly rhythm guitar at that time, whilst his brother Phil (also an excellent guitarist) performed lead. The brothers almost never attended school until pressured to do so by the Australian Department of Education.


Tommy’s dad died of a heart attack when he was only 11 years old. Consequently, the Emmanuel siblings (including his brother Chris on drums and sister Virginia on slide guitar) earned the household’s sole income for years. Shortly after his father’s untimely death, Emmanuel wrote a letter to “Mr. Guitar” (Chet Atkins himself) and was shocked when he got a letter back. Though it would still be many years prior to their first meeting in person Cheap Jerseys From China , the two grew to become good friends and Chet grew to become Tommy’s mentor.

If you're like me, this Sunday you will attend a Super Bowl party where you are faced with two distinct choices:

1) Pay attention to America's Other Favorite Past-time, "foot"-ball (the first is shopping!); chat with the guys about all the home runs they're throwing; and toss that ol' hogskin around the backyard.

2) Watch the commercials with all the other "foot"-ball neophytes, which is equally ridiculous. Commercials are entertainment? What? Maybe afterwards we can go to a museum and look at Sunday sales circulars!

So in recent years, I've opted for a third choice: gorge myself like silly ? there went that "Tight End!" ? put on headphones and do my best to ignore as much of the proceedings as possible. (I spent 1997's Super Bowl party in the bathroom after my Discman's batteries died ? thank God for the iPod!) As a result Cheap Jerseys China , I've become quite the expert at faking my way through Super Bowl Sunday with a special playlist and little-known sports factoids.

PREGAME

The Pixies, "Here Comes Your Man"
The first thing to know about the Super Bowl: who's bringing the burgers? LOL. Seriously though, you need to know who is playing the game. This year it's the New England Patriots who have never lost a game since football was invented, and the New York Giants who have the cuter Manning brother (see I know some stuff!). And so in honor of the Patriots we have the Boston band the Pixies doing "Here Comes Your Man." I have a dance planned for this one. Do the Patriots need an extra cheerleader? LOL.

Art Garfunkel, "Crying in the Rain"
But you can't be too one-sided! You never know which team's uniforms you are going to like more Cheap Jerseys , so you can't play favorites. So in honor of that famous New York City toughness and determination, we have to pick Art Garfunkel, whose no-holds-barred collaboration with James Taylor on "Crying in the Rain" really expresses what football is all about: being man enough to cry in the rain. Or score touch downs. They're both kinda the same thing.

Lee Greenwood, "God Bless the USA"
By this point that guy from the Ace Hardware commercials is probably done blabbing and so it's time for the national anthem. Boooo-ring! Seriously, if you aren't Whitney Houston in 1991 Wholesale NCAA College Jerseys , why even try? I've always liked "God Bless the USA" much more, so I listen to that instead. Holla!


FIRST HALF

Dios Malos, "Starting Five"
Okay, you got me! This one is only "foot"-ball related in the title, but I'm so sick of hearing everyone debating during the game: "Who has the better starting five is it the Yankees or the Celtics or the 59rs or blah blah blah blah." Who cares! And so this song Wholesale Cheap College Jerseys China , so awesome and sweet and just soooo California, is my own gorgeous little protest. Also "dios" means days. Did you know that? It's Espanol!

American Football, "I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional"
American Football is a group formed by star quarterback-turned actor Joe Mantegna after poor night vision forced a premature departure from the game. Bummer! He didn't do it alone, though; that galloping bass you hear? That's legendary Pelicans running man Terry Bradshaw. Who's wielding that mighty axe? None other than Peyton Manning (and let's put a little extra emphasis on "Man"). And he used to bang pigskin, but now he bangs drumskins: let's give it up for Vince Lobotomy!
