Wow, what a great video, Stuart!! Nice quality with both sound and video. Did you have to get there early to get such a good spot?

I wouldn't consider myself a big fan of TE but I watched this video with great interesting. I was impressed by how unpretentious, down-to-earth and charismatic he seems to be as a person. And it was really fun to watch him play. Whether or not you like his style, he truly is a master.

I'd love to see some of the Q&A vids that you have from this workshop.

Thank you for sharing. Hoping to see more soon.

Hi all,

Thanks for the positive responses to the video and apologies for the delay in getting back here. I think I have another 4 videos that I can post for you - I'll stick them all up in separate threads to allow easier access. I'll put them up in chronological order to avoid favouritism!


Willem.
Friendly is exactly the right word for it. I know that you wouldn't be disappointed if you got to meet him and I sincerely hope that works out for you one day.

Suzi,
I arrived around 30 minutes before the scheduled start and a few us wandered in as he was tuning up and setting up the sound. He was quite happy for us to find a seat and chat while he was preparing and limbering up. As we placed our seats a respectful distance from the stage he told us to come forward and get closer and that's why I ended up almost too close to film. I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos.

S

Stuart, that was amazing. I don't think I have enough life left to ever be as good as he is, but what a thrill it would be just to meet him.

Great job on thee video, and I'm looking forward to the next release.

Scott

Stu,

I just got back from a vacation and was thrilled to see this video. I'm an unapologetic fan of Tommy's, and I think he's basically as good a human as he is a guitarist -- and that's saying a lot. I'm very happy to notice that you posted additional videos, which I'll make it a point to watch. You're a lucky guy to have experienced this in person ... and I'm a lucky guy to be able to view the videos.

Hi Dennis

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoyed the rest of them. Tommy does seem to be a polarising figure in the guitar world and there were a few dissenting voices at the festival over his appearance there. Watching him play and talk about guitar at such a close quarters certainly left me with an enhanced opinion of him - he takes what he does very seriously without taking himself too seriously. That always appeals to me.
