You aren't alone, watch guitar teachers and musicians react to Tommy's playing. Most simply say that they can't do what he's doing...

[@adamlaxmusic]

I watched a Chet Atkins documentary o here a week ago and when people were talking about him they basically said what everyone in these comments are. I could never do. But yes. Yes you can. I can play Tommy’s tunes, granted not as great as he does, but I can. In that Chet documentary someone, his name escapes me currently, said “well I can’t be impossible. He’s playing it.” Take it a measure at a time if you have to. You can play it. You just can’t play it right now.

[@whitelfner4582]

@@adamlaxmusic I mostly agree with you, but some things, most just physically can't do. Like when Tommy's version of Classical Gas, where he anchors his thumb on the Low 'E' string, and moves his fingers over a 5 fret range. There might be a work around but it's pretty amazing. Love a reviewer who basically said he physically couldn't do that, and that it required 10's of thousands of hours to learn. Love discussing this, as I get to listen to this wonderful collaboration each time!

[@waynereynolds1274]

Ayuh!

[@chadwickerman]

Actually galaxies wouldn't explode if they collide. There is so much space between the stars they's hardly touch. The gravitational mass of the larger galaxy would draw in the smaller one and absorb it into itself. There might be some instances of star colliding but not many on the whole. The black holes at the center of each galaxy would indeed end up circling each other and eventually colliding though, sending out powerful gravitational waves through spacetime.

Hey Ken. Raised just outside of Charlotte. Folks do not realize the effect Arthur had on rock, soul, country, and BEACH MUSIC. From James Brown to Maurice Williams, Hazel Martin, then over to the bluegrass and old mountain styles. A man about everything. As a kid remembered his musicians Don Reno, David Deese, Wayne Haas, Ray Atwood and his wife, Tommy Faile, 'brother Ralph', George Hamilton iv, Donald Ange (keyboards) and others. Arthur Smith and the Crackerjacks, later "Carolina Calling" with Jim Patterson. Big lists, big names like Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Ronnie Milsap, and even actor George Hamilton appeared on his show. His brother Sonny was also a big influence in their beginnings. Roots of regional American music, Arthur Smith.
