Opened up a whole brand new world for me - Phil was top-tier level, but a lot of people have not had the pleasure of enjoying his work. I tried to get a bit of that into the video at least in an effort to drop a few jaws and get them introduced. No problem - I really like your take! I'm hearing from a lot of Tommy fans, and even Tommy himself I think should be much more well-known than he is. There are a lot of people who were unfamiliar with him coming in and checking it out too, anyway I can spread the word on both of the brothers I will.

Tommy is a sideshow freak. Instead of exploring the musical riches of a song, he turns a song into a musical charicature intended to impress audiences with his techniques as opposed to serving the message of the song."Hey look everybody! I can play the Minute Waltz in only 27 seconds!!" Hes a showman, not a musician. If you want to see a sideshow demonstration of how to play The Rolling Stones Satisfaction while brushing your teeth or typing into a typewriter all within two minutes at a furious tempo, Tommy is your man.

Never cared for this pretentious, fiddley, goofy, prancing around with a gooseneck style. Just a joke of the instrument. Name one song of significance. Right up there with surfing with the alien. Oooh yeah baby

Now that's a take I never heard on Tommy before. While I respectfully disagree, you had to bring up one of the greatest guitar instrumentals of all time - surfing with the alien 🤘🤘
