    Even if Tommy doesn't play guitar, he would still end up as one of the best humans to have ever lived!
    This man is immune to fame and is just down to earth humble!

      You're absolutely right. He's one of the most genuine people on earth. Humble, always willing to talk with his fans, sit down and chat or play a song, no problem. He's an inspiration to millions of others. Love it.

      i wouldnt speak on thr man character as i dont know him personally.
      he has set himself goal and he pursued them
      to say he isnt popular or fanous is wrong.. he is one of the most recognize studio and live player.. he has played on countless album...he hinself said that he wasnt home that much most of is kids life.
      so evretging as a cost.
      hopefully his kid might get it later.. but if you ask me.. no music is worth the time with your kids growing up ever.
      i wouldnt do what he did.
      even know i admire him so much.. missing inportant milestone and things you cant ever see again would be too much. but a man need to provide.. and he did the best he can with his chop. hat off

      but he might be a freak of nature.
      like vladimir horowitz who ketp is chop on piano until almost death with his huge hands.
      the sane can be said of tommy.. his hand are not normal size. and when you try to play his stuff you quickly understand how huge they are and flexible.
      the tumb work cant be acomplished by everyone.

That in itself is part of the “talent”. But it is a mix of hard work and genuine talent. Talent is real, particularly where music is concerned.

    I think Tommy invents chords as he goes along. Lol. He plays chords I've never heard in my life. He's an awesome, humble guy.
