    I played Saltwater with him and then he showed me a way to finish the song. He was also teaching my friend how to play Deep River Blues and at the end, I had a lesson for Jolly Swagman. I was having a trouble with the verse so I played it and immediately he picked up my mistake and taught me how. Hope you enjoy the video.

      i wouldnt speak on thr man character as i dont know him personally.
      he has set himself goal and he pursued them
      to say he isnt popular or fanous is wrong.. he is one of the most recognize studio and live player.. he has played on countless album...he hinself said that he wasnt home that much most of is kids life.
      so evretging as a cost.
      hopefully his kid might get it later.. but if you ask me.. no music is worth the time with your kids growing up ever.
      i wouldnt do what he did.
      even know i admire him so much.. missing inportant milestone and things you cant ever see again would be too much. but a man need to provide.. and he did the best he can with his chop. hat off

      like vladimir horowitz who ketp is chop on piano until almost death with his huge hands.
      the sane can be said of tommy.. his hand are not normal size. and when you try to play his stuff you quickly understand how huge they are and flexible.
      the tumb work cant be acomplished by everyone.

    One day, I'm hoping with a lot of practice...I may play the guitar as good as he does. For today, I can spell guitar and that's good for now. Wait till tomorrow.

      He plays the guitar 8-10 hours a day. You can get to that level also, takes huge dedication.

      He's been playing since he was 7. You will be NEVER as good as him! It's like I'll take up UFC and be as good as Khabib in 2 years with 12 hours a days practice. Just be as good as you can be
