Way to go Tom! That was really impressive. There is so much going on in that song, it must have taken you ages to even just lay it out and get your head around how to play it. The harmonics must be particularly challenging... so many fast moves where you have to be spot on. Fabulous job!

Great job my friend.

Great job my friend.
In keeping with Tony’s journey to playing the blues here’s my “work in progress” on playing Tommy…..
I’ve played this two-minute song at least ten million times now. No wait, that’s like 35 years non-stop. I must have lost count. Maybe I’ve only played it 5 million times. Anyway, this Tommy arrangement kills me (as is usual with any of his stuff). But here’s the best I can do (at this point) with this song that Tommy makes look SO simple. I know I’m playing it way too fast for my abilities but that’s what camera nerves do to me. I know I have to work on incorporating more of Tommy’s “rhythm” and “drummer” parts as well as work on all his little frills and embellishments…but it was all I could do to get the bass and melody (with an occasional rhythm bit) working together! As I’ve said before I’m really very undisciplined with my learning, practicing, and playing and just hack away at songs and just get “near enough” for my pleasure. But if you have any pointers, tips, ideas, and/or thoughts on how I could improve my playing they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening.
Perhaps I’ll do a 2nd upload in a few months as my journey progresses and I get a little bit closer to Tommy’s incredible playing.
