    What Tommy says at the end of the interview about housework and motorskills is SO important..you have to practice again and again to get it right..then you can give the piece of music a piece of yourself..one of the many things about music is self expression...rant over...Thanks Tommy for your music...He seems such a beautiful person....

      I agree, this as a great insight from Tommy that I wasn't expecting to hear. Just brilliant.

      All has to be exposed.

      I came here to try and learn the make and model of that toilet, so I'm very happy the door was open.

    • @MisterWade74
      @MisterWade74 8 месяцев назад

      It’s for the acoustics. Robert Johnson played into a corner for sound. Tommy gets extra depth by leaving the door to the shitter open.

    I love how tommy shut that guy up starting with the "Knowledge of theory" argument.

    • @076657

      Exactly.

  • @martinaxman2033
    @martinaxman2033 12 лет назад +3

    @guitarreilly Yes, and that douche is the one who put this whole video series together, produced it, recorded it and gave it to the grateful audience here on RUclips. He may lack skills as an interviewer, or maybe he's just jumping out of his skin having one on one time with the best guitar player that ever lived. Hmm. sheesh.. Thank you Neil for all you do. Especially for this series. It's truly amazing.

  • @SuperMartin223
    @SuperMartin223 13 лет назад +11

    Wonderful lesson, especially at the end, when he explains how he must get the arrangement and then the mechanics near perfect, then it frees him to put the heart and soul into the performance. So true. You also get the feeling that he spends much of his life in hotel rooms such as this.

  • @mokamo23
    @mokamo23 10 лет назад +11

    this is brilliant and wonderful, but they just put a camera up in front of a bed and toilet and asked tommy to play? wtf?

    • @MisterWade74
      @MisterWade74 8 месяцев назад

      Hey, even guitar legends have to take a shit every now and then. That’s probably where he composes.

  • @RixOkUSKEnSfM
    @RixOkUSKEnSfM 12 лет назад +4

    I love that Tommy says: "Your knowledge of theory is a millions (something) lightyears ahead of mine"
    That just shows that he doesn't care about music theory in that sense, all he cares about is to get the right sound and melody. You don't need to be able to read music to play beautiful music!

  • @IndyBrave
    @IndyBrave 12 лет назад +4

    gosh he really is awful at conducting interviews.

  • @DuxJerome
    @DuxJerome 11 лет назад +2

    Ok we know no that most of you want the interviewers to be quiet. But if it wasn't for them, these video's wouldt be here right? So be a little grateful for that.

  • @jasonmcmanus4165
    @jasonmcmanus4165 9 лет назад +4

    Tommy is an absolutely phenomenal musician. He always has great stories and great things to say. I wouldnt have watched this video all the way through if it was someone else. No one could get a word in with the guy on the right yapping the whole time. Guy almost ruined the whole thing.

  • @SvenJungbeck
    @SvenJungbeck 12 лет назад +1

    your right, he made some tutorials that are not played very well. he is teaching windy and warm and he sounds like a ten year old student who doesn't understand what he's playing.
    if you teach a style, you should know better...like tommy for example

    • @076657
      @076657 5 лет назад

      Teaching is for the ones who don’t play well enough to be playing.
      Sorry not true. Every musician teaches really.

  • @martinaxman2033
    @martinaxman2033 12 лет назад +2

    That is probably the best explanation of why you need to practice that I've EVER heard. Tommy E is just amazing!

    @hkostal its an interview if he didnt ask questions we woudnt get any advice from tommy himself if you wanna just see him play go on the hundreds of videos where hes just playing

  • @slangpdx
    @slangpdx 2 года назад +1

    Saw/heard him at Schnitzer Hall in Portland some years ago, sold out crowd of 3000. Incredible as might be expected, one guy getting all that sound and all the many styles. Someone was passing around a very expensive looking pair of binoculars to help other people enjoy the concert. Tommy talked about his early days learning from whatever records they had available. Anyone who hasn't seen his youtube video interview with Martin Taylor should check it out, they play several great jams. Saw Taylor too twice, once in England at a club across the street from Windsor Castle in 1998, the other was here in Portland a few years ago, with a Scottish singer/guitarist. Great both times.

  • @MisterWade74
    @MisterWade74 8 месяцев назад

    Wow, a lesson with Tommy on his hotel bed with an open door to the shitter in the background. Kinda makes me think of my gig last Thursday, playing deep and meaningful songs in an acoustic duo at a pub, with a big screen behind us showing MMA. Classy.

  • @gooman989898
    @gooman989898 12 лет назад +2

    after your motor skills have perfected, that's when you can pour your heart and experiences into playing the guitar!

  • @arew234
    @arew234 12 лет назад +1

    Looks like maybe these guys talked Tommy into an "interview" in his hotel room and ended up up getting free lessons out of the guy, who generously just gives away all these great tips. Maybe it wasn't free. Hopefully Tommy saw some money out of the deal. Could be that these guys are understandably a bit nervous about being around one of the greatest guitar players in the world and couldn't stop talking. I bet they're embarrassed about it now, but an interrupted Tommy is better than nothing.

  • @thomasrothwell2728
    @thomasrothwell2728 11 лет назад +1

    Musician on the right is just nervous in the presence of CGP Tommy...he can't help himself, but toward the end you can tell he's listening as Tommy takes control of the pace.

  • @TheDecidingBullet
    @TheDecidingBullet 12 лет назад

    do you have to be extremely talented or just practice like 6 hours each day for 30 years long to get that good? im serious about this ppl answer

  • @Ondras19
    @Ondras19 13 лет назад

    I think, that Tommy managed to go very deep and was hard learning and was patient and he break it.
    When somebody wants to improve own guitar skill, by the time, he (me:)) thinks, that he can play enough and he doesn't give so much time as in the past for learning. But it's hard misunderstand. When someone gets better and better, he needs to go deeply to it and practicing hardly.

    What’s artificial about those harmonics? They are true harmonics, why that name.

  • @ZakEdwardsOfficial
    @ZakEdwardsOfficial 5 лет назад

    "tap harmonics" not "artificial". Entirely different techniques.

  • @crlguitar1

    @TheBoomtown4 5 лет назад

    Aren’t those natural harmonics?

  • @face2face78

  • @gerardguitarist
    @gerardguitarist 6 лет назад

    Get it straight all beginners.
    There are no short cuts.
    Learn what productive practice is and be prepared to do it until you take your last breath.
    Unless you are obsessed with the instrument don't be disappointed of where you are at with it.

  • @fragment7

    isnt this just a fretted natural harmonics?, because as far as i know, artificial or pinched harmonics are the same which is done by the thumb

    Artificial Hamonics ??? It's no exist, just Harmonics but with right hand technics different

    • @nreRagnaros
      @nreRagnaros 9 лет назад

      Dude they do exist. Just Harmonics mean you play them without holding any chords or tones with your left hand. Artifical Harmonics describe are these flageolett tones by using your left hand to actually hold a chord/tone und the fretboard.

    • @bryandanieljordan9119
      @bryandanieljordan9119 9 лет назад +1

      Friend this technique is also a classic guitar technique except that the name is not artificial harmonic but many people says as a habit .... the difference is ... a harmonic always find naturally in the middle of the string and keep breaking the string in half will find more than one (I would like to show you in person), for example a "SI" at 12th fret open string and if you want now a "DO" your place a finger of your left hand on the first fret of the second string and with right hand technique execute the harmonic but is the same harmonic sound
      You can call it as artificial harmonic if you don't find when broke the string in half .... ie execute harmonics in the second octave up. There these are artificial harmonics because don't find in the middle of the string naturally
      Ok in general you can call it as you mentioned but when you deep into the knowledge of the guitar, see some bad terminology or isn't using good
      It's more simple if i show you a video but i don't have.
      see u dude

    • @frombaerum
