PS. At my age of 65, you provided the sound track of my entire life. From my childhood TV shows such as Bat Man, to the Beach Boys, to Sinatra, on and on and on. You are truly a once in a life time treasure. God bless.
What a master guitarists! His column in guitar player was always one of the first thing I would read each month, he brought so much talent, humor and professionalism with him, thank you Tommy I learned so much from you.
What a great personality. Tommy's whole approach to the industry is so casual, so honest, so earthy that you easily forget that guitar music is the topic of conversation. Guitar aside, I could just sit and listen to him talk about the price of tea in China and it would be an hour wonderfully spent. Oh, by the way, I should also mention that he's a master at his craft.
My favorite movie theme tune he played was the Bonanza theme. Didn't know he did it until a few years ago. An amazing player, also the ,Fifty Guitars albums. Great.
There is a music store in the DC suburbs called Chuck Levin's. Seems like during the 60s and 70s any famous musician who happened to be in the area would stop by there, buy some stuff take some pictures etc. The store has pictures all over the place of the famous musicians who have come though.
Tommy Tedesco, finally found ya, like there ya are, of all the guitar players, I've been relearning guard for a couple years, using UA-cam videos, remember you from my beginning days, you wrote a column for 'Guitar Player magazine, which I loved, you always talked about the studio and the session, I just ate that stuff up. Your an awesome professional musician, a real career guy,,yeah you played on some really cool stuff, I loved the theme songs from back then, that was you, amazing
In the golden age of studio work, a guy like Tommy might have 4 or 5 gigs in a single day. When he talked about reading music - it was come in, sit down, play, and then go on to the next studio. There was no time for practice and no time for mistakes.
So much for an easy, close setup. Check him out: those strings are half an inch above the fretboard. None of the old guys worried about it: look at an old Earl Scruggs video. It's a wonder he had time to press them all the way down as fast as he played.
That's one of the greatest, uncomfortable interviews I've ever seen. I love it. He's freaking blind, too. He looks like Bubbles with a goatee and captain's lid
In 1990 I really didn't know who Tommy Tedesco was .. at that time I was playing in a band we played cover songs it was the most money I've ever made in a band. We were playing five nights a week and I was making $325 which was pretty good money for doing something you liked.. my girlfriend had a decent job I was kind of a deadbeat the other three in my band all worked full-time jobs... nevertheless being from Owosso Michigan I used to watch Channel 6 News a lot I remember that girl who is doing the interview but I wish I would have known Who Tommy Tedesco was at the time. Looking back I definitely would have been there but I did Miss Alice in Chains at the Silver Dollar Saloon in 1991 too... which still makes me ill... out of all the concerts I have been to I didn't even go see Alice in Chains.. my dad was a guitar player and went to concerts and fortunately I got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1976 on there one more from the road tour when I was 13 years old in 8th grade
My personal mentor when I attended M.I.T. Helped me more than anybody. RIP Tommy Tedesco
Amazing..do you know how he can read Music so well?
@@AlbertoOlivieri He practiced a lot when he was younger.

I remember his columns (I'm 62 in 2023). I wish I still had those magazines.

Tommy was a musical genius

the best way to keep a guitar player quiet is to put a piece of sheet music in front of him
Ah, how refreshing, the news before everything became hyper-politicized!
Also in Fernwood 2Night's orchestra, "Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers!"
"It didn't feel like nuthin'. We went to work."
God I wish …!!! I was born 30 years too late !!!
Sure, he was part of the Wrecking Crew but the apex of his career was with Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers. 😀

Sheri Jones has barely aged!!!!

Glenn Campbell was a top studio guitar player before he was known as Glenn Campbell. Didnt read music.
Hahahaha. TT was an American treasure!
Batman..duh,duh,duh, duh,......who cares?!?
