Summary

Grammy-nominated thumb-picker TOMMY EMMANUEL is one of the most beloved and respected guitarists on the planet. The Aussie-turned-Nashvillian is one of a small handful of players dubbed a "CGP" (Certified Guitar Player) by the late, great Chet Atkins, and the accolade is well-deserved — as proves one listen to Tommy's mesmerizing new concert album, LIVE! AT THE RYMAN. Tommy is on the road mesmerizing audiences around the world 300 nights per year, and his zest for life and music never ceases to amaze. I enjoyed this guitar hang with him immensely, and hope you do, too. —JUDE GOLD Host, No Guitar Is Safe podcast.

0:07.0	Hey there everybody, no guitar is safe. Episode 53, the actual two-year anniversary episode. Last week with Mark Merrin was fantastic. Maybe it was two weeks ago, but I think this one lines up pretty close

1:37.0	It was like capturing lightning in a bottle.
1:39.1	Music Tommy thanked me more than once for driving all the way across L.A. and down to San Juan Capistrano,
2:11.1	to the coach house, a great venue that I've played a few times myself with Jefferson Starship.
2:17.0	And he thanked me for, I mean, actually, okay, I didn't drive.
