Could so easily have been in Spike Jones band. The City Slickers! 👍🏻

Just discovered Tommy, he's my new guiitar hero!

Watching him perform those solo lines so perfectly and effortlessly you just know his talent was on another level. His speed, accuracy, note choice....it just flows from him through the instrument. That level of coordination is available to only a precious few human beings. Tommy was a very, very special player.

It's amazing that Tommy actually uses a banjo here (he could make a guitar sound like anything else).

Just watched Wrecking Crew. Thank you for putting that out. I remember reading Tommy's columns in guitar magazines back in the day. Great stuff.

I used Tommy's banjo tuning trick in the late 70s in my high school pit band for Hello Dolly. My guitar teacher thought it was cheating 😂. I thought it was ingenious.

he flat picks as fast as finger pickers. freaking amazing.

I fricken' love this guy.

RIP Tommy-You were the greatest!

What a gem Tommy was! RIP:(

One of a kind....Genious and Chops galore

Super Awesome! Mr. Tommy was not only great on anything strings, but so entertaining as well! Thank you Denny! --Carl

The Tommy Tedesco Guitar Auction shown at the end… I actually own one of his guitars now, I love it.

He’s talented too! Not just trucks!

he gave a class at a Catholic Church in the 80s in maple heights Ohio I raised my hand, he called me up to the stage, I forgot how read, he covered me, I was about 16 I often think about the man it meant allot to me as a young African American

Peace be to you, Tommy our friend.

He could've gotten a Banjitar, & also a Mando-Guitar 12 this way he could get a Banjo or Mandolin sound with a variantion of that instrument tuned like a Guitar (E-E).

Good stuff!😃👍 Audio only out of the left channel, tho’ - can you fix?

Tommy's like if a 'made man' decided to jump careers ..and became a world famous session player :)

Haha, I always say that's Chicago tuning, works great on plectrum banjo (22 fret). I've been laughing all the way to the bank, without an amp in the car, I walk in like a trumpet player with one case.

anything with strings tommy was the guy

give me dat padadaa, whatever dats called...music to my ears

Most recorded guitarist in history; today is his quarter century reincarnation anniversary. By the way John Lennon's first instrument was a banjo; his mother's which he tuned like a guitar.

why is this muted?

So funny Al these serious mit guys just found out the music industry is bs

On the one hand, Tedesco was very funny and very entertaining. On the other hand, in videos like this he's boring and annoying. Because he seems to think that being a famous clown is very important. It's a boring act and having to always demonstrate this funny stuff is expected of him, because people know about it. I'm much more interested in when he really gets serious and shows us what a fantastic and amazing guitar player he really was. The clown act is totally irrelevant. If you have listened to his recordings you'll know what I mean.
