[BreshDigitalTV]

The neck is reversed because there is another guitar on the other side...

[ulunited]

Why is the 1 guitar neck reversed?

[neutronstar64]

OBVIOUSLY A NATURAL PLAYER,HE'S EVEN GOT A REVERSED GUITAR NECK GROWING OUT HIS SIDE!...LOL,JUST KIDDING NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THAT!guy is awesome tho!

[Upub2]

[MultiBaldEagle]

First time I saw him do this was back in the late 80s on Austin City Limits.

I loved it then and Love it now!

Great job, Thom

[MrPianoguitar]

[Jarrid36]

Props bro, best finger picking Ive seen in a long time

[dasaro24]

I can still see the days that Thom sat in my uncle Dave Plummer Guitar shop and just pick away for hrs. So very enjoyable, never got enough.

[john4019]

[busmaster1]

[mark1800]

it's a shame his guitar sounds so awful, and is out of tune...

good player and stuff but...get a better pick-up.

[BreshDigitalTV]

Obviously you don't play this song.. Invest in some speakers..

[djmighton]

@BreshDigitalTV its capo'd oviously but what key you in? just a question thanks and God Bless

[SFA33]

Or it can be his way of arranging it! o:

[smudgey6120]

you didn't really make a negative remark about thoms playing and sound did you?...lmao...me thinks that is like a pub footballer saying pele or maradona are ok ..maybe a little over rated..lmfao why o'h why o'h why would you be so stupid? thom plays like we wish we could all play..but it ain't never gonna happen...and da vinci sucked at painting and sculpting? nahhhhhh please keep your so called expertise to your expert self...it is better for all of us

[missystu]

Just like Tom, you are all mouth. This forum is for EVERYBODY dummy.

Shut up and play.

[burnette44]

smudgey6120..THANKS for speaking up for all of us TRUE guitar devotees, I couldn't have put it better myself!! Thom is indeed this Century's 7th wonder when it comes to awesome guitar pickin'! And anyone that has a different opinion, please step forward & show us all what YOU'VE got to offer, instead of hiding behind your implied so called 'expertise' comments! LONG LIVE THOM BRESH & the heritage from his dad, Merle! It can't get any better than this, period! Best, Hank C...

[nnatthhann]

that is one crazy guitar there.

how does he use that second neck?

[Oi1Oi1Oi1]

by flipping the guitar over...

[nnatthhann]

i meant what does he use it for...why is it different..

[Oi1Oi1Oi1]

hmm.... good question. I would assume that they both produce different tone, and that in order to switch from one tone to another quickly in a song, you could flip it over. That would be similar to a double neck effect, but your guess is as good as mine. Must be annoying flipping it over too, seeing as he has to wear a strap.

[Agar101]

one is steel strung, the other's nylon

(i think)

[jeanpierreguitare]

c est vraiment genial j ai eu l occasion de voir thom a bordeaux et je marche sur les trottoirs en entendant side walk of bordeaux merci merci merci

[resopicker]

[DochSchneider]

I was there! I requested some Jerry Reed. How incredible was he?

[Philofmus]

[emilernebro]

Thom is the man! Im lucky to have my guitarstrap signed by him!

[masonbill123]

I saw you in Drakesboro,ky , pickin some of your dads tunes.You have come a long way.You are one of the best.....

[XTWBMU]

This was originally done by Arthur Smith and I believe he won a copyright lawsuit against the movie makers...BTW Smith's rendition is much better than the movie's!

[bigdood]

The two or three seconds where the two instruments actually play together are freakin' unreal! I can play this (but not as fast!)... but HOW THE HELL do you do that two seconds? Grrrrrr...  :-) Once again, Mr. Bresh, your guitar playing gets five YEEHAWS from Western Kentucky! :-D

[goldhat3]

You da man! 5 and a fav.

[fm7ncn3]

This is fantastic! I once saw a video of Thom and Chet. I sure wish it was posted.
