@sirlennon87 maybe 90% was an exaggeration but even when playing the melody part of a song, he changes a lot of things...timing, adds slides or ghost notes, throws in short improv licks. Songs that don't have improvising sections still aren't the same each time around.
@conaty90sg You're right, 90% of what T plays live is improvised. Not many people can work out a song on the spot, adding bass, chords and harmony like he can. Some wouldn't even realise it was the first time he'd played it :D
WOW that is a rarity! Saw a vid of Tommy playing this with Adam Rafferty in Helsinki and it was a masterpiece... can't believe he fumbled the chord cause I know he is a perfectionist with this one... (and all the others too... LOL),
I'm just glad that it can happen to anyone, even Tommy! If I'm playing guitar and something distracts me or I try to speak, all kinds of weird notes come out :D
LOL.... yes, folks -- believe it or not, the great TE is actually HUMAN (although I have often wondered if he were a space alien) and capable of fumbling a chord here and there... as I mentioned, it is a RARITY. There is NO acoustic guitar player in the history of acoustic guitar... who has EVER played better than Tommy. Period. So... when he shows his "human" side, then I am sure he would be the first to joke about it! (thumbs down obviously from someone who has not met him in real life...)
Hes loosing weight.

I think he was improvising the chords most likely :P you know what he's like, so to find that chord is kinda incredible if you look at it like that

lol, some people have given your comment a thumbs down for just mentioning that he fumbled a chord...
Maybe he just wanted to make sure he was still human and capable of making a mistake?
