Very nice.

I discovered Tommy Emanuel when I realized he was the only one who could play “Classical Gas” better than Mason Williams ;-) But his “one man band” stuff is really the greatest, along with the shows he did with his brother - all on Youtube.

He even did a TED presentation where you have a chance to get a sense for the man behind the six strings:

Here's MW's version...

If this garbage below is what you are referring to, you seriously need to clean your ears out. Compare it again to Manson William's classic version above.
