      I watched a Chet Atkins documentary o here a week ago and when people were talking about him they basically said what everyone in these comments are. I could never do. But yes. Yes you can. I can play Tommy’s tunes, granted not as great as he does, but I can. In that Chet documentary someone, his name escapes me currently, said “well I can’t be impossible. He’s playing it.” Take it a measure at a time if you have to. You can play it. You just can’t play it right now.

      @@adamlaxmusic I mostly agree with you, but some things, most just physically can't do. Like when Tommy's version of Classical Gas, where he anchors his thumb on the Low 'E' string, and moves his fingers over a 5 fret range. There might be a work around but it's pretty amazing. Love a reviewer who basically said he physically couldn't do that, and that it required 10's of thousands of hours to learn.

      @Snagglepuss Tommy is not about picking some chord. Tommy is a musician, an artist. You don't need to know and practice whole bunch of hard chords and songs, you can make music even with whatever you know. It might not be like Tommy, but you will become your own version.
      Just like that Estas Tonne guy. He is his own version of artist. Tommy is just his own version. You can also be your own version. Regarding the perfection, it depends on the practice you do. That doesn't have anything to do with your artist soul. An artist can make a beautiful music by just using one, two three chords and even by playing like messed up. Tommy is an artist. His technical side is his practice of years. If you ain't an artist, you can't be like Tommy even if you practice more than him. But if you are an artist, you can become your best version. That's what I mean...
