Antonio Forcione
It has been said that Antonio Forcione is "probably the best acoustic guitar player in the world" ; he is certainly up there with Tommy Emmanuel in terms of technique and sheer musical eloquence, his playing shares the same fire, passion and inspiration, though Forcione tends towards more jazz (especially gypsy style) and south American influenced styles of playing. Forcione originally studied percussion, before switching to the guitar.
