I’m very excited to announce that I’m currently on the cover of Acoustic Guitar Book, the premiere Japanese acoustic guitar magazine, for their December issue. And I’m there with my friend (and the source of much inspiration) Tommy Emmanuel, which makes it even more of a delight for me. Tommy’s arguably the most well known solo acoustic guitarist in the world and so this is a big deal, as these things go…
Acoustic Guitar Book only comes out twice a year and has prominently featured me several times in the past, but I’ve never been on the cover, so this is quite an honor! Tommy and I were in Japan this last October and played several shows together.
Acoustic Guitar Book cover – December 2009 Issue
The cover photo was taken by the editor, Mr. Suwa, in a wonderful guitar store in Tokyo. The shop is Blue-G and the proprietor is my friend Mr. Shimasue. Thanks to both of these men. And special thanks to Takeshi Hayakawa for helping to arrange this, as well as writing the article! “Acoustic Guitar Book 30, December 2009, Shinko Music”.
