Gregory; yes, I wanted some recordings to use as references to compare my pieces with (for instance) what someone listening to a stream on Spotify might be listening to. My playing will never come anywhere near Tommy Emmanuel's, but it doesn't have to if I can turn out something that still sounds good within the same general genre.
Interestingly, what I've found since starting this process is that my overall tone is too thin. So yesterday I started working on getting a fuller sound. I don't know whether this endeavor will be successful, but I'm enjoying the process.
