    When I was 15 I had the privilege to meet Tommy at then G.I.T. a high school friend who’s Dad was the owner and I took the bus there from the valley. Tommy not only offered to give me a ride home but proceeded to give me the Guitar Players blessing and bring me into the fold. It was hilarious, he did all this faux catholic stuff. Then he was amazing and hilarious the whole ride to my house. Such an awesome memory he generously gave an aspiring 15 year old guitar player. He was an absolute gem of a human.

    When I was a kid, every month my issue of Guitar Player magazine would arrive in the mail. The first thing that I turned to was always Tommy Tedesco's column at the back of the magazine.

    I think when you have the great talent that Tommy Tedesco had for reading music backwards and sounding amazing , plus his musicality , the rest of us know that trying to follow that would be like trying to push water up a mountain ! Quite ,quite , unbelievable !

      Thanks Mars... that video was 10 years ago as I was about to pack up the first museum to move. The city of Nashville took my museum building by eminent domain from me to build the new convention center. So I walked through the first museum for the last tour as we named it. Thanks for watching. Best, Joe

    He also did some music in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the sequence during the dinner (think 'monkey brains'), he was asked if he could play some background music and he just played the same lick over and over. He really was a character, very funny, very personable, very humble. Glad I got to meet him.

    I've never heard nor seen anything about the disposition of Tommy's blond Telecaster. See :48 - :53. Apart from it being a 1960-64 Tele, certainly a valuable guitar these days, Tommy's would for sure be a major piece of music history.

    I’m 78 and he was my guitar hero growing up in the South Bronx. My godfather bought me a “50 Guitars If Tommy Garret featuring Tommy Tedesco” album with tunes like Maria Elena, Amapola on it and I wore it out. My family is from the “old country” so these are tunes that that they loved. Years later I got to meet Tommy on a break at a guitar clinic and I asked him what he did for fun and he replies: “I gamble, right now I’m on a call with my bookie.” I have no idea if he was pulling my leg or not because he was a funny guy, with an arsenal of funny stories. Oh yeah, it’s kind of too bad my family never got a chance to hear me play those tunes I was exposed to at a young age.

    Many of the great musicians are humble and self-effacing. Tommy was one and the king of studio musicians during the 1960s.

    Norm Harris, of Norm’s Rare Guitars , tells a great story of Tommy coming into the store needing a cheap Spanish style guitar, for a session. Norm showed him a $100 guitar that he had just gotten in . Tommy played it , liked it and asked Norm if he would cut cards for double or nothing. Tommy lost, took the guitar, came back in a couple days and paid Norm $200. I wonder if this is that guitar.
    Rest in piece Joe and Tommy.🎸🎼🙏🙏

    love his playing, but what type of guitar was that nylon? maybe a goya, hard for me to tell. I know it was all in the fingers just interested.
