SF Workshop 2014 11 of 12 Ballad Peppino D'Agostino + Tommy

[@guitarfan7579]

Two of my favorite guitars and guitarists in one video. This is surreal.

[@asandiegoguy]

The guitar percussion at 4:55 was timed perfectly and fit like a glove as did the counter melody at 5:44 that walks down

[@merryARS]

this music made me cry! thank you for sharing!

[@2010d1a]

Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@opheosmedia7809]

Both are just shining

[@LeslieTarwater]

Tommy knows all Music,,,,,,just like all the great "Voices" we've had since Mankind started imitating the sounds around him. It is always wonderful to see too!

[@dtorresrxperts]

Two guitar giants with very different personalities that can come together and complement each other beautifully. Thanks for posting - still i wish the audio recording quality was better.

[@X11-g9b]

An amateur with a pro! Forget personalities. The skill sets are a child with a Master. Not even close. Even how the handle and set up their equipment.

Le Talent MERCI Thanks for posting

[@sebsolignac]

so good !

[@griiseknoen]

When you change a tuning *completely* like that, between two songs - it's gonna take a while for the strings to "set" properly. You will inevitable have to do a few corrections later on. Quite possible even *while playing* the next song! Every guitarist who has ever worked with multiple tunings on the same guitar in a concert situation FEARS those moments. I *love* how these necessary adjustments didn't become a nuisance *at all* for Tommy and Peppino. They didn't even break for a second! They just took it in stride with absolute professionalism. In fact, "the tuning thing" actually ended up *adding* a spontaneous extra touch of *fun* and some rare almost breathlessly *sensitive* moments to the show. It was even *better* for it! These guys really are TRUE musicians and TRUE artists. Everything becomes art in their hands. _Even the correction of a slightly out of tune string..._ Both guitar players reading and following the other one's mind completely. Almost becoming one. In harmony. So beautiful. I believe they call it *MUSIC* ...

Too think that Tommy didnt know this song is just mind boggling :)

[@Sportsfan31951]

Awesome ...an example of why Martin Taylor describes Tommy's skills as "frightening" !

[@discover_hypnosis]

Hey!I'd love to see that article/quote from Martin...Although I agree entirely. It is mind-blowing how Tommy has got himself to a place where he can find the melody in any song, no matter the tuning!!

[@mattyjayj]

Incredible. Thanks for the great set of videos!

RIP Shane. Miss your smile bro.

That Tuning (DADEAE) in my own invented system of naming is either Drop A sus 4 (DA4) or Open E9 (OE9). Both names are equally valid for the same tuning. What I call Drop A (DA) is DADGAE. Open A (OA) is EAEEAE. EADEAE is Open A sus 4 (OA4) or "A Modal".

[@asandiegoguy]

Amazing how easily Tommy seems to find his place in a song. Think would he could having heard it first and with 10 minutes of practice.

[@OlaviKiljo]

The Great Australian.

[@dadadudu4699]

They absolutely don't match together. Not even personally.

[@craigmaddenmusic3408]

dada dudu yeah I've never thought anything bad about Tommy but it's a fine line here, he's a bit pushy though probably for the right reasons...

[@photopicker]

@@craigmaddenmusic3408 He's always pushy and has a tendency to take over shows however this is his workshop.

[@rufsis]

@@photopicker What? I've never witnessed that, in fact I have been aware how inclueing and supporting he is when sharing the stage. But I guess his mind-blowing skills grabs a hold of and demands one's attention, and maybe makes an impression of him as "taking over the stage".

[@marcussegura395]

This shit puttin me to sleep

[@keithwigley1256]

Well Try to stop smoking the Shit Marcus ?

[@marcussegura395]

Keith Wigley i dont smoke moron

[@keithwigley1256]

So what is causing your real problem ?

[@marcussegura395]

Keith Wigley the fucking music its relaxing

[@Catari777]

Over-rated guitarists. Not very good improvisionists. Tommy is good on his thing but let him imprvise and solo he is gone, this other peppino is just so bad. There are a tonne of new talented players out there that just blows these old fellas away, like Mike Dawes, Calum Graham, Don Ross, Andy Mckee. Ok I have respect for the Australian.
