@AgentZeroForTheWin: I've gotta agree. I've only been following Tommy for about 4 years. There a lot of great guitar players out there - amazing guitar players. But I have never seen anyone *perform* as well as Tommy. And I don't see the speed in other players - sheer speed. He has a metronome in his head and can play 4-5 parts simultaneiously. I doubt there has ever been a guitar performer this good.

@Chestybro Read TE's bio--He started playing when he was a kid and by the time he was in his teens had been touring in a family band for several years. He and his brother hare having a 50th anniversary tour in Oz this January. He really has been working at it for 50 years. He was just a kid when he first heard a Chet Atkins album and taught himself Travis(Atkins) style finger picking.

@KonkreteXXX I think (my opinion only of course) TE reached his peak maybe 10-20 years years ago The rest has been all fine tuning honing his skills & more practice Seriously though 50 years of dedication to the axe? He's 54 Logic tells me he never committed to his craft till he was in his teens maybe late teens Even so his dedication & commitment must have been intense When you have gun axemen like Mark Knophler Eric Clapton Steve Vai singing his praises you know he's a future legend

@Chestybro yeah, but you GOTTA admit: IF you would be playing 50 years with dedication to what youre doing, then you should be able to do MAYBE even better him. I mean: 50 YEARS. Thats a lotta time to practice.
-
@KonkreteXXX that's great, as do I, but Tommy's on a totally differint level to most of us. If you can strut your axe on his level, I bow to your brilliance & look forward to hearing you in concert around the world.
