2 weeks ago, I returned from my first tour of Japan. I had a fantastic time,
the people are wonderful; kind & thoughtful, and, I’m happy to report, they
seem to like my music! And the food….! (Sorry, I’m drooling)
Fingerstyle guitar, Travis picking, Chet Atkins style ? whatever you like to
call it ? is still quite a new sound to Japanese. I made some wonderful new
friends, and I’m already looking forward to my next tour. (More news about
that a little later in the year). It was amazing to meet young Japanese
guitar players already getting stuck into tunes by Tommy Emmanuel and Chet
Atkins.
