Anyone heard of Tommy Emmanuel? Probably you do, but he's new to me. He's unbelievable, he swings like hell and has a super fast picking technique. Check out this video:

I had the pleasure of seeing Tommy Emmanuel in concert last year, along with Jake Shimabukuro, Martin Taylor and the Joscho Stephan Trio.
He was amazing, and I probably learnt more talking to him after the show (he's a great guy, too!) than I have from any other guitarist - even though I'm not really much of a fingerpicker.
