    I don't follow a lot of guitar players but I'm watching The Grand Ole Opry live on YouTube and they've got this gentleman named Tommy Emanuel playing. Holy cow. This dudes fingers are flying up and down the fret board of his acoustic in a blur. Is anyone else in awe some of the pickers out there?

    ok since i live in nashville here you go..yes chet atkins and keith urban and brad paisley are awesome players.if you want to really see some good players dive into bluegrass.Dierks bently is also a good player..i suggest Dierks cd"up on the ridge"it is a combo of country and bluegrass...can you imagine if you take all of these techniques and put them together how badass of a player you could be....dont ever limit yourself to one style

    I LOVE bluegrass! Have been listening to the blue grass channel at work the last couple of days. I had no idea Dirks Bently played bluegrass, though...will have to look him up. The current country music scene isn't my deal...I grew up on Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, George Strait...anything past about 2000 or so I haven't listened to much if at all...

    I will check those out, too! I love it when I fall down a music conversation hole, haha! I get started sometimes and people have to tell me to stop talking music because I get going so fast
