Tommy is the man. Phenomenally talented but such a humble and nice person.

[@Star_Sn1per]

I had an online guitar lesson with him. He is the coolest and most humble dude ever!! I spent most of the lesson just chatting and asking him questions lol it was awesome.

[@LicksoftheLegend]

@@Star_Sn1per Dang man that’s really cool!

[@malcolm1367]

😊😊😊

[@l8tapex]

Tommy's love of SRV is one thing but his dedication to knowing and understanding all the nuances of what made SRV playing is what sets him apart from others. Its just cool to watch him do his thing.

[@hunterjo118]

When Tommy came out to Nacogdoches, Texas, I got to play Norbert. He was apprehensive to let a kid play it (can’t blame him) but I he let me do it and he told me to keep up the playing. A really great moment for me🎸

[@MaddoxMelton]

He’s super nice. I took lessons from him when I was 13-16 ish and he’d always let me play any of his guitars. Sometimes we’d swap guitars for the lesson. He’s awesome

[@MasonKutin-x6j]

It’s been so long, but it’s been exactly 40 years since Stevie performed live at the el mocambo on July 20, 1983, he was such an amazing player and every note he played there came from his soul

[@robroy4058]

Keep the flame alive Tommy… I’ve been a fan for years. 🔥

[@jasonjones9301]

Folks having the licks, tone (almost) from SRV are a dime a dozen-they all impress.Tommy, IMHO, has a kindred connection to the well SRV drew from. Great player, just as important, humble!

[@picksalot1]

Wow, what a fantastic collection, playing, and talent Tommy has. Really glad I watched this video. Thanks 👍😎

[@fadlyhans82]

Not many capture the essence of SRV’s playing but Tommy, IMHO, is the number one here.

[@jontypiper9881]

So glad someone is keeping that torch lit and in such fine fashion

[@hkguitar1984]

Those Fender WRHB pickups sound fantastic Out-of-Phase (sound good in-phase too).

[@sonnysilversmith2156]

Can you all get a big screen SRV movie motion picture started? of course Tommy as SRV, and so on… Tommy’s a beast, Chris you’re phenomenal too.💥🔥💥🔥

[@robpodd8665]

Stevie would be very proud of your talent! Singing and jamming ⚡️🎸⚡️🎙️

[@DavidRmz-g9q]

Thank you and the band for doing what you do. Gonna see you guys in few weeks in Des Plaines IL Just may be the highlight of my summer :) Can't wait!

[@brutus6328]

Tommy is a BEAST! I'm one of those nerds who likes to know what picks and strings he uses (I see he uses the round side of the pick like SRV and so many other blues players). What gauge string and picks please.

[@bigkahunamenor]

Wow this guy can really channel the SRV vibe, great job

[@MikeJBlues]

Awsome guitar player, Stevie and Gary are 2 of my heros as well. Superb guitar collection 👌

[@sweeabn6736]

It was like I was visiting him again. :) I miss you my brother. Much love.

[@TEXMEXY]

Fantastic playing Tommy❤

[@maxwell9734]

Awesome collection of vintage Fender. Thanks for letting us have a little peek inside your lair. Really, amazing display of guitars and playing!! 🎸

[@mickhoover8050]

I love that SRV poster on his wall.

[@adrianczechowski481]

Crazy SRV maniacs. I'm sick with it too....;) Best regards. All guitars in good hands sound like a dream.

[@Brockstar5150]

Very nice playing, I miss SRV and Gary Moore.👍🤘

[@chadwickhurlburt6529]

The guitar playing at the end of that video was FIRE! OMG, this cat must be seen and heard MORE! I want more of this guitar player. Please, make it so.

[@jasonbone5121]

Shout out to MJT bodies!

[@TS-nb9ko]

Tommy I love your playing just fantastic.thanks for sharing

[@davidwoods358]

Those are cool guitars. I must say, the only thing I've ever been given is a kick in the pants and a boot out the door. But then again, I can't play like TK.

[@bnastali]

Love this guy. GC show is unreal.

[@hkguitar1984]

This was great, thank you for sharing. I've not watched the entire video you, I'm really curious as to what Mr. Katona is using for amplification.

[@jeffbrown7408]

Your an amazing player Tommy!🎸

[@shaunbaker4018]

Nice shot behind there from Tracy Anne Hart!

[@MrRlltide]

Eric Clapton even said he was intimidated by SRV’s playing. He said even himself had to stop or slow down to think about where to go next from time to time, but Stevie was a wide open flood gate. It poured out of his being to no end. SRV was allowed to be here by the grace of God for a few short years until he was called back to glory. This man here is a kindred spirit and is a great representation of what we lost but can be heard and seen again.

[@matthewscully3219]

i love tommy so much omg hes fucking amazing

[@ronfrey5327]

68 SRV 4X12 and a 68 2x15 metal handle cab are being restored baffle on 2x15 was not right or made of correct material so im doing those this week had to get specific cheese head screws and parts in so the 2x15 wont blow with EVS and the 4x12 has white label Rolas in it 80 watters and he used it and his 15 loaded marshall cab for the Marshall Major head or back up for Dumble Cab if it went down the 80s could handle the 150 watts.. I also brought the aqua suede 50 watt small special which is two channel D clone with original parts but two clean channels more voiced like SSS then ODS.. The head was made at my Grandmothers farm in Texas in 2013 it has el 34s in it which are a bit cleaner for that sound but it can be biased for kt66 or 6l6 and we put bias ports on back so you dont have to take it apart to swamp tubes or bias it. Thats for sale also about 50 miles south of Dallas if you all are looking to buy other items that were Stevies the 4x12 cab was his I bought it on south lamar in Austin in the 80s and the guy who Stevie gave the cab too as a gift had lost it and he told me Stevie gave it too him Jack Morgan of the Crawl out of New Orleans had it. But I got it next door to Saxon pub there. Tommy Shannon remembered the 4x12 cab as it has happy birth day Texas on the back .... I dont have a way to bring it all into Dallas to show you or let you play it but if you all were down for a road Trip this week once I get teh cabs together maybe come check them out play the amps and cabs. Tommy has the number ....has email and I sent photos today of the small special D clone its here also now...

[@denverrandy7143]

Wow,he keeps going from a Southern accent to a Hungarian accent...thats cool.👍

[@TWTexasA1]

If you have to choose two guitarist to idolize Stevie Ray and Gary Moore you really can’t go wrong their both phenomenal artist…👏🏼👏🏼

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

Truth. I couldn’t stand this guy for many years, but Stevie is his Hero as he is mine. Stevie took a bunch of his hero’s put it in a pot and mixed it up. This guy is a hell of a guitar player and he’s too nice to hate on. Stevie would’ve loved to play with this guy.

[@madsenmotorsports9950]

I wish they would make an srv movie and have him be srv in the movie. His accent is getting close!

[@heyjarrod]

Awesome playing! Great SRV number one… but those saddles! 😅😂

[@MultiFisherofmen]

When I was on the road with lance lopez as his tech I change his stings nightly. That man destroys strings

[@maximesteinebrunner9941]

If theres ever a biopic of srv this guy s gotta play the role

[@Callsigntitan]

Show the amps and pedals!

[@kurtzembower9297]

Are you using the same size strings that stevis used?

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

You can tell by looking at the girl he's not.

[@mraggrovator]

Another great video thanks.

[@greggsteven1028]

Livin the good life.

[@bmcash3411]

Awesome. Can you do a video of his amps and pedalboard?

[@heyjarrod]

Hit that number one with a little sandpaper here and there, get it even closer. 😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸

[@higheriam]

Nice guitars , cool guy. Fun dog, girl seems to have some talent as well.

[@MySlyFly]

what was the maker of the #1 pickups? I heard Mike and the rest was unsearchable.

[@Nachoobeschannel]

Fire in his hands.

[@tattooed1979]

How it’s done!🤘

[@kurtzembower9297]

Number 1 was his pide and joy and for you to play that replica with thin strings is a slap in Stevies face....play the way he did with Number 1 heavy strings strengthen your fingers 😮

[@analogblues9606]

Great video! What amp was he playing through?

[@xsamitt]

Stratotastic!

[@JimmyKay1976]

I need those pickups on 1st guitar. Anyone have a link?

[@jodyvige6143]

Tommy, your always real.... Always a Cool cat. I remember watching vids of your progressios back before you moved to the states.... You were a killer picker then and now your more and a extremely talented musician now. Love everything you've done. By the way that was cool, with Testify to Long way from home Riff....LoL... I also remember when you got that Tim Davis 1# replica... Extremely Sweet guitars... I seen them online before and wanted one so bad ...I ended up due to lack of funds ...I performed a relic job on my 92 SRV signature into a 1st wife signature replica. Bruh.. Thanks for the years of sharing your gifts. You and the band Keep on keeping on. With luck hopefully, one day I can catch a live show

[@rockyourrepairedamp9850]

Great video thank u! ❤

[@cguitarallday]

Great guitars

[@benallmark9671]

No binding on the Les Paul neck eh. What modal is it besides it being a Gary Moore ? Like is it a standard , Tribute, Classic or ?

[@guitarslingingmick]

That SRV "raffle-prize" guitar, has some different saddles on the top four strings, what's going on ther

[@DD1072]

are those original CuNiFe WR in the Tele? They sound fantastic!

[@freddylive4181]

.. the closest emulation of Stevie I've heard.

[@kimmartin6063]

I wish I would have studied more

[@AlmasiMusicOfficial]

Wow!

[@karcsi20071]

Tomi a Magyar blues Király!👍

[@truthhurts7957]

That has to be THE strangest accent I've ever heard in my life. European with an occasional deep Texas twang? WTF?

[@purplepimple2610]

Hungarian Texas accent is interesting

[@ABELHOGORDELO]

Muito legal. Continuo querendo ouvir vocês regravarem o álbum soul to soul com duas guitarras e a voz do tommy

[@PedalPawn]

That would be awesome 🤯🎸

[@EBJorge-ql1ii]

Porque? Não está contente com o original?

[@ABELHOGORDELO]

@@EBJorge-ql1ii contente? Não seria satisfeito? Neste caso, não.

[@EBJorge-ql1ii]

[@lucamjensen]

What song did he play at 3:35 ?

[@llazartafa2891]

nothing, is just an improvised warm up

[@przemyslaw1235]

This Boy can play😅😅😅😅😅i think i am better every day but after watching youtube😅i think its to late now😅42 now and still no special😂.You both great.

[@PedalPawn]

🤣😭 Tommy makes us all feel like that don’t worry 🤣🚀🎸

[@CluelessSheepNazi4270]

That SRV sound,.....Stevie's guitar sound has been duplicated here flawlessly.

[@deestroyeverything]

Tommy is Stevie. It's crazy

[@mjandsebass7630]

I was at this guys first show playing for voodoo blue. Crazy talent. The closest thing to SRV we will get ever.

[@markanderson8408]

Such an awesome video, I’d love to see another one showing his amps and pedals. I’ve been a huge fan of Tommy’s for many years. He’s such a phenomenal talent, and an incredibly hard working musician he deserves a ton of recognition, thank you for doing this video!

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Awesome collection of guitars, really dig his number one Strat, definitely has sentimental value to it. Thanks for sharing Chris.

[@danielfritz954]

I feel this guy, Gary Moore and Stevie Ray Vaughan are my heroes too. Both very unique guitar players and very inspiring as well.

[@iancameronsmithmusic]

Fantastic, what a treasure Tommy is. I've always rated SRV the best blues guitarist ever and to have Tommy doing his thing is brilliant. Thank you!

[@guitarrablusera]

Thanks for this video!! I join the request that you make one with Tommy's gear, pedals and amps that he currently uses, his audio is devastating! greetings from Argentina.

[@drjay73]

Wow, Tommy is amazing! Cool and humble also. You just earned another fan and I'm looking forward to hearing more of your awesome playing!!!

[@achill3usoverclocking874]

Tommy is national treasure, thanks for taking care of him :)

[@MrBrianMandl]

I've got a Tim Davis no.1, too! Really enjoyed this, been following Tommy since I was a kid. What a great player!

[@MaddoxMelton]

Man you’re lucky! I’ve played Tommy’s a bunch but I’ve always wanted one of my own. They’re the best

[@nahumfootnick]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. Tommy is a wonderful soul and deserves all the good attention, promotion, and praise you are providing. I love him as a brother, and know his dedication and relentless pursuit to honor his heroes has been unfortunately attacked by others. You are helping show the guitar world how giving, humble, and respectful he REALLY is... Yes he is an amazing musician, and he is an even more amazing and noble human. Hence, why I thank you for featuring Tommy on your channel. Hope to meet you at the Dallas Guitar Show next year!

[@eldiablo3794]

I think "tribute artists" like Tommy are weird. I get paying respect to fallen guitar heros and musicians, but when hes literally copying and mimicking SRV on stage and off stage even down to his mannerisms... thats a little weird. Hes not even being recognized or making money off of his own music, hes getting paid to pretend to be Stevie. Dont this tribute artists want their own identity when it comes to playing guitar and writing music.

[@ZekeMan62]

​@@eldiablo3794 Not much different from an Elvis impersonator really.

[@anejo333]

Tommy is so nice. What a dude and what a player! Love to see more stuff with him.

[@kurtzembower9297]

I mean I know a beat up looking guitar is eye catching to the audience and your in all,But the string Guage and tension of SRV

[@glennmartin4232]

Tommy has to start his own KZbin channel “!!!!!! There would no be a better SRV player and probably teacher.

[@brentharmonmusicproduction]

He does have a youtube channel kzbin.info/door/Vklxbg8sMG8ZjDGpQO80tQ

[@kjguitarman]

Absolutely the closest SRV sound and playing I’ve heard since SRV. He’s with us when you play his music! Brilliant player, humble and blessed. 🎸

[@luffy8563]

such a cool and humble guy .and a great player .

[@fabieneldridge3414]

I kept seeing smoke there must be a fire 🔥 some where ! The young man can burn the neck off his guitar ! Texas Flash !

[@vivienverdier]

Thank you so much for this !!! I love Tommy and this video is so cool! I hope there will be more with his amps and pedals.What did he use in this video?

[@tommykatona1984]

Hey Vivien, my friend! Believe or not I was using a little Vox VT-20+ practice amp. 😉

[@vivienverdier]

@@tommykatona1984 Thank you so much my friend! Haha i knew i would be surprised of the answer ! I know these amps very well (been using them for years to give lessons)and you clearly show that you can get very convincing tone with the right fingers😊

Wow! Superb Video. What a cool guy and great player Tommy is. 💥 Which Amp did he use to demonstrate his guitars? Sounds pretty good. 👌

[@BBQROCKSTAR178]

TK is a true gentleman! I’ve known him for years….I’ve taken lessons from him. I can tell ya that whenever I played his SRV copy, it sounded nothing like when he plays it! Texas Flood is one of the most booked bands we have here in D/FW. He’s such a beautiful person!

[@LM43243]

19:39 wow!

[@JimmyLeeMusic]

This video is so cool. I always wondered where his guitars came from.

[@simondixon6761]

Great player! Nice guitars too!

This guy is "channeling" SRV when playing....spooky good!!
