@@greg4673 And he's right! Everyone thinks it's all talent. But far from it. More than 90% is training, some of which are very painful training. I coach guitarists who believe they can do anything. And they are horrified when I tell them that they haven't practiced enough. Horrified and offended. And if I practice like crazy at home - like I do 4-5 hours a day for 4 years, 365 days a year before my first concert - then 150 € / $$ (then 300 DM) is an hourly wage for my first concert of 5 cents (two hours of performance). My guitar at the time cost five times as much and is not included in the bill. If I make a living for my family with music, then I have to think economically as if I were running a completely normal business. I can just live with my music and have to give a lot of lessons.

abztractbeats I would wholly agree he's one of the best. But how can we say there is any ONE "best" guitarist? Personally, I couldn't make a list with just one guy at the top. I'd have to make it a 4-or-5-way tie for first. It's all subjective, for the most part, when it comes to music. The average listener thinks a guy is the best in the world just because they like his music while snubbing their nose at another guitarist who is far superior technically. Think Angus Young vs say, Yngwie. Some folks of questionable understanding of what music is and requires may think Angus is THE best while condemning Malmsteen to the bottom of the pile just because they don't like his musical style. Kinda got off on a tangent there, but you surely catch my drift.

those that think hendrix, page ...clapton,...etc. are the best are already limiting what is best about the guitar. The raw expression that a guitar without distortion or anything else is something potentially magnificent, and should never, ever be overlooked. When you play acousticly , it becomes more demanding than ever to bring a song to life. Any real guitar player should know this. It involves a unique technique that every REAL guitar has to explore

There are several genres of guitar. Tommy could not play some of the difficult classical pieces and would not trouble Clapton with the blues, but my point is, it is not a competition. The best guitarist is only the best for that person they touch in some way musically. Playing with distortion is as much an art as without it. It is just as hard to play well with distortion as it is to play without it. A crap player will sound crap with or without distortion. Don't you know that?

Great interview, and that takes an interesting interviewee and an interviewer that asks good questions, then shuts up for the expert to answer. You do it very well. And as for Tommy, one of if not THE best, IMHO. Neat to see him demonstrate some of the subtleties employed...since I'm not a guitarist, it makes me a more informed and better listener. Often, the more you know about something the more interesting and enjoyable it is to watch, though obviously ANY guitarist will know FAR FAR more than I ever will, unless maybe I learn to play, and watching these sorts of things, that might actually happen. ;-) I'm betting if the guy who built that guitar saw most people do what Tommy did with that screwdriver, it would drive him nuts. Also betting if he saw Tommy do it, if he'd ever heard him play, it wouldn't bother him in the least. :-)
