Invaluable no-nonsense advice from Tommy. There's simply no substitute for hard work and dedication to your art. Hes a national treasure, and surely one of the hardest working entertainers in the world today.

[AcousticHaim]

as said from my mouth!

[skint0n0minted]

@SOJOURNEERTM I don't think Tommy ever saw it as work. It's pure passion and love. But you're right that hard work will get you wherever you want to go in life :)

A friend reminded me last week that Tommy was performing at Wrest Point Casino with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra ,so you bet i'll also be attending. That'll be 2 great musicians I'll have seen in a couple of months ...Pierrre and Tommy. whoah

Here's the world's two best guitar players, IMHO... If you have not had the opportunity to see Adam Rafferty's videos (or in person, if you are lucky) then do yourself an enormous favor and look up "Superstition" and "Vitamin E Blues" (an Adam Rafferty original)... What makes both of these guys so special is that they are truly nice guys -- who spend as much time spreading their craft and cultivating young guitarists as any two human beings alive. What a joy to see both of them together! :-)

Woaw Adam! Finally guitar player asking the Man some spot on questions I would have asked myself! I'll make sure to go to that link!

"The guitar is a weapon of mass construction! Best line ever ;-D

Thanks man!
