It amazes me how some of you judge this guy's masterful playing. Just becasue he honors Jerry and Chet doesn't mean he has to play stylistically like them. For God's sake, the guy is playing like nobody's business AND having the time of his life having fun doing it. "Lacks the delicacy of Chet..." Have you heard all of Tommy's music? He is in complete command of every aspect of his playing. Go Tommy!

Right on Larry . Nothing comes out of Tommy's guitar That he doesn't want to come out of it . There are a lot of really fine players out there . And all of them are amazed when they hear Tommy play . Brent Mason , Richard Smith , Doyle Dykes , Chet , Eric Clampton , Les Paul ,Thom Bresh . I could go on and on .

Everyone fancies themselves as being discerning, the mistake they make is in being narrow about it, as if their perspective defines what is 'the best'...if you are a genuine lover of music, and appreciate skillful playing you don't indulge in this silly and childish 'who is the best' game!

Thanks for the refreshing comment. I've been playing since the early 70s and too worshiped at the alter of Chet Atkins (and all the favs of the day..Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, et all). I too thought of Tommy as a hot-dogging show-boat. THEN, a funny thing happened...I saw this clip of a Ted Talk where he explains his shows, techniques and history, plus pays immense respect to Chet, then demonstrates. However, it was at the end where he did a reading about WHY he does these things, and how he feels about we the fans. Great gratitude and a shout of inspiration at the end. I did a complete flip. There's nothing to hate about this brother! He deserves all he gets. Enjoy the ride now, and talk about it later on with your grand kids! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7R6qLF00LbKqGQ.html

Yep, he has played since he was 4 years old I believe and practically lives music. His technique is fearsome but it is his feel with sometimes such technical music which takes my breath away. The way he articulates melodies is wonderful. Although I am not religious myself it seems that Christianity has helped a lot and given him an even greater drive in life and got him out of his dark period so those who complain about the fact he got into Christianity, without it we might not have him today.

If they are not happy, then he feels he failed. So there is nothing but gasps, smiles, laughter and amazement. Devoid of "hip" and no hint of politics! The pinnacle of performance art!

Nobody can outdo Tommy in my opinion. He can "knock-off" anybody, I am sure of it. Hell, he "bested" Chet Atkins. But nobody is going to best Tommy. There is an innate, "God-given" talent there backed-up by 57 years of intense playing. I saw him live here in Vegas in a small venue and he is the real deal, no doubt about it. He FEELS everything he plays more than any other guitarist I have ever seen. The PASSION for the instrument is unequaled...Tommy was born to play the guitar.

absolutely . I would love to see him unplugged with Clapton . would-be a great set and maybe vince gill . there isn't too many players that would put Tommy under pressure

Thom Bresh is great too. He’s the son of Merle Travis and grew up around Chet, Merle, Joe Maphis, etc

I have been playing guitar for 60 years and I think Tommy is the worlds greatest guitarist,and so versatile.

DAMN! I could listen to this guy play for 6 weeks -- take a 15 minute break -- and then listen to him for another 6 weeks.
