In January 2007, Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel was handed a Golden Guitar award for “Best Instrumental Performance” at the Country Music Awards of Australia for “Gameshow Rag/Cannonball Rag” a track off his latest album, The Mystery, released in 2006.
To honor those who have cranked up our guitar community to an “11” with their contributions, Guitar International presents to our readers our GI Annual Awards, 2011 Edition. Through their spirited innovation, hard work and love of guitars and guitar music these artists have deepened our passion for our favorite music, as well as entertained and inspired guitarists around the world.
