Ever heard the term "imitator"? Plenty have imitated Emmanuel.
Did you even watch the youtube stuff?
Have you ever seen him live?
You call Al diMeola and John McLaughlin imitators? *laughs*
Yes I watched it because you were so mad about it, it was nothing.

I'm astounded that after seeing all that you would post what you did.
There is no-one in the world who can do what Tommy does. Even the guys who have worked out Tommy songs and play them note for note lack his inventiveness, his freedom, his tonal control, his rhtyhmic mastery. There's a reason why Eric Clapton and Chet Atkins called him the greatest finger player alive.
*You* need to get your head out of your dark place and open your mind. Somehow you have made yourself so mad about this player you're not able to imagine there are other, possibly better, guitarists.

And I absolutely laugh about calling Clapton and Atkins authorities on this field. Those are ok guitarists at best.

Seriously, open up your mind, there's more than this guy's technique, and I've seen it used a plenty.
