Tommy Emmanuel | I Go To Rio

This is a 2004 recording of me playing Tommy Emmanuel’s great arrangement of a famous Peter Allen song.
I was 23 when I cut this and had been only playing fingerstyle guitar for two and a half years at the time, so I can overlook the immaturity in this performance with today’s ears. Sadly, I don’t recall the engineer nor the studio where it was cut, nor do I have any photo credits for the few visuals here.

I’ve seen Tommy 3 times. And all because you played this song for me…20 some years ago.
Great job! This makes me smile. 😊

You’ve come a long way since I taught you how to play in high school, lmao. Always been great brother and you have not stopped growing your skills.
