It's always funny to me when people use the phrase 'Best guitar player in the world'. There are too many variables such as technique, uniqueness, emotional investment in the notes, etc. But If I had to pick one, it would be Tommy Emmanuel. Watching him perform can be a study in artistic and virtuosic human achievement.

Play slow and perfect - that’s the way to becoming a virtuoso.

If you're feeling emotional when you're creating something, it'll sound that way.

Possessing a healthy imagination is a necessary ingredient for creativity.

We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess. Favored Nations will be branded as the home base for inspired musical talent.

I awake, I meditate, get the kids off to school, go to the gym, go to the Favored Nations office, and usually at around 1 pm I'm home and do music the rest of the day.

A good solo is like a book. It will start out in a phrase, it will go on in paragraphs, and then it will have a great ending.
