    There are many Tommy interviews all over the place, and somehow, he NEVER tires or telling and re-telling his stories. These are great stories, some historical and all important. Thanks Tommy for continuing to "submit" to these interviews. You're very generous with your time.

      That is what Tommy does. He rules, and hides nothing while telling those stories on stage, and I'd bet that he would love to be de-throned, if only to find someone FUN, to work with as a peer.

      One of the few that can pack an auditorium by showing alone with three guitars. Kottke still does as well but he's lost much of the fire from his '70's era shows.

    There are so many wonderful guitarist in the world but Tommy is one of my favorites. His heart and emotions just come through his playing. A melody that is clear and concise much like Chet. He too is leaving his musical mark on the world. Such a humble and great guy! Glad i got to see this tonight.

    • @phillipbancroft7945
      @phillipbancroft7945 2 месяца назад +1

      Absolutely! I’ve heard him say in interviews that he believes he has a calling and you have to wonder. His whole story is amazing, I mean writing to his childhood idol from another continent then eventually becoming his protégé. Chet Atkins must’ve been getting lots of fan mail in those days before email.

      I agree with you 100% and Tommy has done so many interviews all over the world. Tommy is a class act and a humble human being. In the 80's I use to watch him and his equally talented brother Phil - 'The Emmanual Brothers' in pubs around Sydney, Australia. So damn good, entertaining AND funny.

    Steve's comment about famous players leaving an imprint of their DNA on you is important. We all improve not just because of our dedication and dogged determination to succeed but also through the inspiration of others. We need those rare individuals who motivate us to follow our passions and instil in us the will to become not just better players but, more importantly, better people. The old saying "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants" rings true in every way when it comes paving the way for others to follow.

    " I'm trying to get good at it" had me in stitches. That was really great to watch. I'm a super-fan of Tommy anyway, if he ran for president of the world I'd vote for him. He always leaves me smiling and inspired. For me, this particular interview, I need to sort my guitars out. I've been living with their issues for far too long, they are embarrassingly far from set up correctly.

    Tommy is a PRO-fessional, guitar player. What is that? It means "Tommy, we are doing an AIR SUPPLY album, can you create a part so that the song sells a billion copies"... "Sure.. = "All out of LOVE"... .That's Tommy.... So, what is a Pro-fessional? It means you can play.. It means that if Tommy woke up on MARS, and the Martians handed Tommy an acoustic guitar made by SEARS, that He's never played before....Tommy can play it so well that all the Martians will think that "Tommy is s God"... Lets us all kneel...""... So, that is a Pro-fessional. That is TALENT.. and that took YEARS of his LIFE to achieve it...............
