  Chord shapes?

I know ive been blabbering on a lot about Tommy Emmanuel lately, but when someone inspires me, I just keep talking about them for days on end

anyway, I dunno if anyones seen TE play, but he tends to hold a lot of chord shapes and pick out the melody line with the shape held down. is this something that plane talk teaches?
because id love to be able to play guitar like him one day, and ive kinda seen how important it is to be able to hold a chord shape and play a melody at the same time, because then your walking basslines would give a nice foundation for the melody given theyre in the same chord

from what ive read of planetalk, that seems to be the basic premise of the book? or am i wrong?

...or does my question make no sense at all?
