You\u2019re playing shows\u2026<br \/>\nTommy: What?<br \/>\nMatt: Three or 4 nights every week, something like that.<br \/>\nTommy: More than that.<br \/>\nMatt: Okay. Do you practice at all when you\u2026<br \/>\nTommy: Yeah, I\u2019ve practicing this morning.<br \/>\nMatt: What do you do when you practice? Like\u2026<br \/>\nTommy: Play songs and work on things, and I enjoy it. I played, I try to remember some tunes on how to use to play them and then I messed with the arrangement and stuff like that. Or, some days, I\u2019ll just play purely for motor skills to rebuild strength. So I\u2019ll play campbell for an hour. You know, it goes\u2026<br \/>\n(Strumming the guitar)<br \/>\nSo that\u2019s really working a coordination, you what I mean? So, you that for a while and you really build your strength, so\u2026 And then I\u2019ll play chords right like this&#8230; (Strumming the guitar) where I\u2019m covering 4 strings with a little pinky and working all these muscles here. You should need that and then (strumming the guitar).<br \/>\nMatt: Yeah! You setting your machines\u2026<br \/>\nTommy: No.<br \/>\nMatt: You\u2019ve never that it before?<br \/>\nTommy: No. I\u2019m not interested in any of that. What I\u2019m interested in is this. I\u2019m totally dedicated to this and getting this to do what I need them to do\u2026<br \/>\nMatt: Right.<br \/>\nTommy: No.<br \/>\nTommy: And find where I would go with it, you know? Because in actual fact, to play stuff like what I do Over The Rainbow stuff (strumming the guitar). To get that kind of clarity, it not only takes accuracy but strength in this hand to get the clarity, right?<br \/>\nMatt: Yeah.<br \/>\nTommy: Because the notes have to ring in to one another. And they can\u2019t be any buzzes or fluff sound. And that\u2019s how I get the clarity (strumming the guitar).<br \/>\nNeil: So how may hours do you riff when you put into working on that particular lick. I mean, obviously the technique was there along before\u2026<br \/>\nTommy: Well, it\u2019s still\u2026 I\u2019m still discovering things. Like this, I just recovered of playing<br \/>\nMatt: Playing like a harp\u2026<br \/>\nTommy: Scale of this thing in harmonics (strumming the guitar). So, I\u2019m always looking for new things and new ways to do it\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2430],"tags":[9,2442,315],"class_list":["post-2685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tommyemmanuelinterviews","tag-interview","tag-practicing","tag-tommy-emmanuel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
