The Man With The Green Thumb (Tommy Emmanuel) - Tutorial (Part 1)

Tommy's tribute to his hero Chet Atkins has a real head-bopping groove to it. Tommy introduces some neat picking hand tricks in the intro, but the rest of the song is more straightforward than I thought it would be. Watch out for those fretting hand fingerings though!
