    When you think about it Tommy is like the musical equivalent of a Olympic athlete. He’s quite literally been non stop touring for four decades to make his living, even in his 60’s he still plays something like over 250 shows a year and practices each day in his hotel rooms to keep his chops strong and up to speed. To play something like Caravan is actually physically demanding and he’s able to do it so effortlessly because he non stop trains himself to be able to. A true working musician

    • @rae0521
      @rae0521 4 года назад +7

      Very true. As with Olympic athletes, it's non-stop practice to get to the top, and then it's non-stop practice to stay there. I once met Sabicas - now deceased flamenco guitarist - who told me that he practices 8 hours EVERY DAY... and that's after becoming world famous in his day for his skill. He said he could notice a deterioration in his ability if he skipped even one day of practice.
      I've heard TE say he practices many hours every day, in addition to his performances. That's a dedication I could never do - I'd be bored out of my mind no matter how good I got. I'm like a butterfly... I like to sample everything life has to offer, not just chew on the same old bone, day after day. I guess that's why I'm not rich and famous.

    "Play it slow, bar by bar." My guitar teacher places a sheet of paper halfway into a bar and tells me to master the half-bar, then go to the second half. I think if I were to try a Tommy tab, he'd place the sheet on the first note or chord.

      Interesting. I feel exactly the same way, though I only 'discovered' Tommy about 2 years ago. By a coincidence, Andre at Your Guitar Workshop started his series of lessons on Classical Gas a few days after I'd had an operation. Boy did that give me something to focus on! Then onto Angelina. Needless to say I can't play them properly but the fun I've had learning them has been a truly joyous experience. Tommy, I love you, man!

    I learned something about playing music the other day that had never occurred to me. I tinker on the keyboard, playing a bit of this song then a bit of that one, etc. I rarely have ever taken the time to learn to play ONE tune, properly and all the way through.
    Then someone said, that's a mistake. No one will sit very long listening to a player pick out bits and pieces of many tunes. But if you can play ONE tune well, you'll have something that others will listen to and enjoy.
    So now, I'm working on learning one tune well. Wish me luck.

    I saw you (Tommy) live in Asheville NC maybe 20 or so years ago. After your show I had a chance to talk to your road manager (that's who she said she was) , she told me that you drive her crazy , sitting in the back of the bus constantly practicing rifts or working on new rifts. She said you would do the same rift over and over and over for the longest time. So I believe you when you said in the video that its practice, practice, and more practice. BTW, I loved your performance. You hit the stage in a white long sleeve dress shirt, hair sticking straight up. I knew it was going to great, and it was better than great. You are a real showman.

      Bill T Oh, please. He didn't grab his hand. He touched Tommy's pinky and palm briefly to feel the tension and muscles that Tommy was talking about.

      Or play it like a fiddle or saxophone or whatever. It’s a musical instrument. Why limit its voice to folk, or rock or blues guitar ideas.

    I picked up knuckle bending from studying Tommy's work. A fantastic technique to know; it's let me fret notes that I otherwise couldn't

    Don't practice in front of people it drives them crazy. It's called WOODSHEDDING as in "Jeeze, kid, go do that out in the woodshed it'll keep you dry" - from 80's guy

    Dear Mr. cameraman, and/or dear Mr. interviewer. Just a thought, perhaps another opportunity will come to watch Tommy demonstrate his mastery without us having to try to peer through the skull of the young man in the blue shirt. Just a thought! No harm no foul! I mean hell we could hear it right? Keep up the good work!

    So true. Been learning Autumn Leaves with 3rd and 7th guide tones, two notes at a time. Wife says: what the hell kind of lesson is that"? Tommy, watching you play usually gives me conflicting goals: practice like hell or just quit, you'll never be Tommy E!

    Hmm my daughter practising the violin (that takes a bit of beating) she thinks she sounds like Lucia Micarelli performing a rendition of 'Kashmir' and I cannot tell her she's not. Go RUclips ( Chris Botti Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) Live Montreal ) with Lucia Micarelli performing then you'll understand the pain of being a parent of child practicing an instrument, there is no escape.

    "The more complicated it is, the more slow you have to go!" (3:06).

    It's takes a long time to build up strength in hand. I was having lot of pain when I first started practicing a couple hours a day. Seems to be getting less . They closed guitar studio where I was taking lessons. It is hard to learn new stuff with out access to sheet music and musical genus to help you. I lucked out and met a college student who is in his fourth year studying music theory. He had to go back home until they reopen school. Tommy is one of my guitar hero's give you a goal to strive towards.

    I love Tommy, and all his amazing abilities, but the one that impressed me the most is when he played "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (I know, if I never hear the song again it will be too soon. but...) for Les Paul, a few years before his passing..It was Les' favorite tune..Gotta see it!..Just beautiful!
