I'm 63 and have been playing the gitfiddle since the early to mid-70's (I still play 3 or 4 times per week). I remember reading Tommy's columns in Guitar Player magazine in the later 70's where he described in detail particular sessions on which he worked. The gig, the music, the money. They were great columns. I would love to read these again if anybody has a source. Thanks for the video Joe.

When Norman Lear told him he wanted rough-looking people in the band, kind of like a cross between a Hell's Angel, and a Truck Driver, Tommy said, "I'll be right there" ! )

TRUE! TOMMY TEDESCO IS THE MOST RECORDED GUITARIST IN POP MUSIC HISTORY. WHILE OTHERS BEHIND THE SCENES WERE MAYBE RECORDING MUCH IN OTHER GENRES, TOMMY’S CONTRIBUTION OF ORIGINAL RECORDINGS MAKE HIM UNDENIABLY THE MOST RECORDED GUITARIST IN POP MUSIC HISTORY. A PROLIFIC SONGWRITER CREATOR WITH ON THE SPOT PROWESS. Check out his son Denny’s documentary “ THE WRECKING CREW.” Thanks for sharing and every guitarist both inexperienced and experienced need to hear Tommy Tedesco’s work. His album “ Guitars “ is a great classic. Cheers!

FALSE! Tommy Todesco thought he was the most recorded guitarist and happily lied about it to promote himself. He didn't realize guys like HAROLD BRADLEY in Nashville were regularly recording 20 songs a day, 5 days a week for decades. Todesco's output wasn't even close. Stop promoting this myth.

Time is money. Wrecking Crew, Funk Brothers, Muscle Shoals, etc. could produce three or four finished tracks in one three hour session. The established bands? Not even close to that kind of productivity.
