Very fine sensitive performance

[1090goh]

Hi!

[BertjeSpatel]

From all of the good guitarplayers on youtube, I must say that you can not only play better than most others, but you make your guitar sound better than I've ever heard. Really nice! And also a very nice interpretation(??) of this song, made it up yourself or did the tabs already excist in this form?

[MBgirl204]

Absolutely beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes. Just beautiful!

[euroamerican92]

Wunderschön. Ich hoffe so sehr dass ich so gut werden kann.

[robdoubletrouble]

Free tabs = epic. Thank you!

[crzyandy060]

Beautifully played, your use of dynamics really adds alot to it. Ill be learning this thanks for the free tabs! Keep up the great playing!

[AZUCENAMUSIC1]

Maravillosa melodía.

Es para cerrar los ojos y dejarse llevar,

soñar, abrir alas a la imaginación

y sentirse eternamente acompañado

con tan romántica, suave y delicada

música.*`**`**`

La pluma es el lenguaje de la mente

y la música del corazón

♥♫ Un saludo.

[misslantana52]

So glad to have found you! Brilliant playing~just takes me away to a good place!

[totheear]

Good lord, I hope the founders of YouTube are swimming in money, because without them I may have never discovered this song and so many other masterful pieces over the years. Perfect song, flawless playing.

[NinjaMankey]

i wish sungha jung made a cover of this

[videokultur]

beautiful!

[mn1twilightfreak]

Wow. Amazing.

[gonzaloceb]

Without doubt, is my slot of fav..... nice touch,,,, nice everything, i 'd hope to know how long u perform to record it... fx? really nice. u navigate on the fret like a bird on the sea... i can't see ur face... shurely ur face transmit ur feel... i wonder watch that... anyway... thanks a lot.... Gonzalo Cebreroz.

[Mablungx]

Hello Martin this is absolutely beautiful thank you for this! As a guitar player I'm always looking at your videos and learning so much every time.Just a little question-do you use your fingertips or are those nails on your right hand? I couldn't get a good sound when using my fingertips so I swiched on using my nails combined with flesh and it's starting to work pretty well.Tommy Emmanuel uses fingertips and he sounds just great so maybe it's a kind of everyone's taste

cheers :)

[IronLion27]

Is this standard tuning?

[Chriskay021]

@IronLion27 no, it's an open G tuning 

[mgljimcmgl]

5 Stars, man, nothing else to say.

[florinovich]

Beautiful ! Thank you !

[MrMdenbreejen]

This is an amazing arrangement 5/5

A very nice job and nice recording :-)

Greetings,

[n00bsh1te]

what a lovely tune

and many thanks, Sir.. for including the tabs.

[AppetiteForRoses]

Magnificent. I can't wait to get my new acoustic now :)

[AnOnYmE928444]

Beautiful (:

[rockyonemambo]

Really, really lovely. Seems redundant to even say it.

[skyforceparis]

5 personas no sienten la musica.....

[DrPepper2kx]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, I'm a big fan of fingerstyle guitar and I have seen very few arrangements as good as this, excellent work (:

[rostadskalbagge]

Hallå mr tallström! Undrar bara om det kommer någon ny videouppladning snart?

[pinofluvius]

@rostadskalbagge Hej! Tja, om det inte vore för en massa strul och jobb med huset vi bor i så kanske jag fick tid att spela också :) Jag har en hel del material men har ju satt ribban ganska högt... Hade t o m tänkt ge ut en platta i år, men det får möjligen vänta. Svårt även med två små barn :-/

Jag kanske borde sluta gnälla helt enkelt, så fick jag mer tid, ha ha

Tack för förfrågan

MVH/ Martin

[rostadskalbagge]

@pinofluvius Det finns alltid tid att spela! Är det helt eget material du sitter och håller på eller har du några nya covers? :)

[karffiol]

wonderful feeling... this is my cup of tea ;) it is takamine???

[jeepcjay5]

Beautiful cover from one of my favourite bands.

Thank you for the nice video and many many thanks for sharing the Tabs.

[VoVikMakaR]

did u study a classical guitar before, i can see it by the way u play. I am learning to play pretty fast i think, but i keep doing those small mistakes like touching some strings and make them stop ringing, and i cant make some notes last longer. any advice except "practice makes perfect"?)

[VoVikMakaR]

can u fix the GTP forever young link plz, it doesnt download, just a page with some wierd symbols...thats all((

[RionTheLyan]

@VoVikMakaR Dude, right click the link and save as, it got me at first too!

[LillaMartin]

Ser ju så enkelt ut när du spelar... Det låter så otroligt vackert när du spelar... Oj vad avundsjuk jag är. Du spelar finare än någon annan jag hittat på youtube. Jag sitter just nu med några av dina arrangemang och det låter väll ok när jag spelar men kommer aldrig att låta så otroligt som när du spelar.

[SR120]

how long have you been playing guitar for?

[CoeCoema7]

great job, and u ever provided the tab. couldnt get any better. thanks

[hellman660]

Hey Martin. I'm a pretty decent guitar player and I have to say that I really love discovering your arrangement. It is truly beautiful. It has rekindled a love of music and MELODY for me. The open voicings and sometimes natural harmonic sounds you get are wonderful. I have played along with your tabs all night now....and don't want to go to bed :(.....Thank you and stay "Forever young!! :)" ----John in Florida USA.....

[lemanchini]

Beautifull ...

[MrHalitov]

You touch strings so as if mother caress her baby... beautiful sound!

Great perfomance!

[creed2709]

I want to dislike out of envy but I can't do it. Its flawless! I'm only gunna playing this until i've perfected it!

[burritojack]

My school had a music and arts festival and i signed up and played this wonderful tune. It was a big hit. Thanks so much for an outstanding arrangement. Certainly the best i've ever gotten my guitar to sound.

[MatthewMarkMendoza]

Flawless.

[NoirDesir8]

Love this

[FandeFulanadetal]

Superb!

[teunio501]

I can see there is a lot of practice in your play, you make it look so easy!

smooth and subtile, very Beautiful

Greetings from Teun,

[Ygdrassylinme]

Amazing... as sweet and dark as the original !

I wonder what would think Marian about your cover !

[ValerioMansueti]

mycket vacker,Martin!!!!Valerio...

[danlay]

Simply beautiful!! You are amazing !!!!!!

[RedGr3mlinz]

I am a finger picker / finger style guittar player and in the 10 years i have played guitar (learn on my won - playd electric violin before) i have to say its a wonderful instrument guittars.

I am learning this song as i write this : ), and awesome recording and perfectly playd m8.

[Padlanify]

very well played :)

[Joey10Thompson10]

is this your upload? cause if not it sounds like someone took credit for your work

watch?v=V9svn5H3nEw&feature=re­lated

[pinofluvius]

@Joey10Thompson10 Thanks, yep, I have seen that one...

I don´t really mind, maybe the song gets heard by more people :)

[Joey10Thompson10]

@pinofluvius ok, well anywhay... this is amazing! and i noticed in one of your other videos you are using the same capo as me... well at least it looks like it. i just thought that was cool cause ive never seen anyone else use that capo

[chuyalong21]

bravo!..thumbs up !



[pesciolinoad]

da brivido

[MBlu3]

playing like this will get you laid

[ramjamz99]

i looked up how to tune a guitar and ajusted the settings to highest rating video and found this by accident.... glade i did..(:

[theothermetalica]

i want this played at my funeral

[Greblegah]

@theothermetalica oh the irony...

[theothermetalica]

@Greblegah what do u mean by irony?

[Greblegah]

@theothermetalica "forever young" when you're dead is a pretty ironic thing, right? :)

[thesologuitarman]

I wish I understood all it took to record the acoustics with all the complexities and fullness as done with this video.

[roohmz1000]

Thank you for sharing so much of your music. A real blessing to all.

[ValerioMansueti]

G Tuning....

[jesus12jpf]

perfecto

[Zoftengoth]

Good song+Good guitarist=best present for us

[IBloomBlaum42]

One of the most beautiful guitar covers I have ever heard in all my years of youtube going. It's people like you who make me excited about guitars all over again. :) I'm gonna go learn to play it now. So beautiful...

[Windwolf001]

Gave an already beautiful song even more feeling, wonderful really.

[DjLethal173]

Very nice indeed sir!

[jwpind1s]

Holy crap....this is probably my favorite fingerstyle covers I've ever heard, that was incredible. Nice job man.

[ValerioMansueti]

I'll never get tired of listenting this...so sweet and bitter,..as a summer breeze,..as the eyes of a child through the crowd,..as a passing shadow...

[jackmischnick]

Hey man that was great can you tell me the tuning you are in and can u make a step by step video

[Umakeisee]

I began to sing without notice (:

[ANT00NES]

Hello, can you say me what tuning are you using?

[FiiRReeNN]

Hi, could you please make a Tutorial how to play this song? :)

[nicowarr]

do you ever tab your instrumentals? I'd love to see this transcribed. Can you be persuaded?!

[mainthink]

@nicowarr, you can purchase the tabs on his website if you wish.

I don't mean to advertise on purpose but they are very well done.

This song is fairly... 'straightforward' (not simple ahah) so the tabs look almost simple.

When the song is more complicated Martin adds all kinds of explanations and additional information.

For example the tabs for Man of Constant Sorrow are by far the best tabs I have EVER bought.

[pinofluvius]

@mainthink Thank you for the kind words!

This particular tab (Forever Young) is free - check tallstrom com

[mainthink]

@pinofluvius you're right I got confused sorry about that.

BTW I bought a Maton 808 Artist partly because of you so thanks a lot, my wallet is not amused LOL

[carvetop01]

Magnificent! Great guitar + Great player = Magic!

Which version of Cakewalk do you use?

Cheers,

allen

[pinofluvius]

@carvetop01 Thanks! Cakewalk Sonar Producer 8

[metalmaniac767]

Absolutely beautiful!

[Khamikasi]

I tried to describe this video, but "beyond perfection" it's not enough.... i think i'm just gonna shut up and listen again...

[pedgeman]

That was flawless! One of the best guitar arrangements I have ever heard. You are very similar in abillity to Tommy Emmanuel, very well done mate

[natawroc]

It's amazing. Good work, i Love it so much :)

[johnphilipworld]

hey! can i use this instrumental for a vocal cover?? :)

[pinofluvius]

@johnphilipworld

Hey! No problem! :)

[upcmedewerker]

I would pay to watch this

[lukieneo]

Awesome arrangement and sound effects! Thank you for sharing the tab :)

[maxxyporky]

nice version of this song, werry dynamic and good feeling to

[rickday55]

Excellent, you are one of the best finger style guitarist I have seen. Your musical arraignments are gold.

[saavannah17]

thats beautiful

[JzJackrabbit]

What is this guitar's brand and model, please? (sorry for the bad english)

[pinofluvius]

@JzJackrabbit It is a "Loef dreadnought" model, handmade in Finland. It doesn´t have a specific model number.

See video info for website or google Loef guitars

[MrSlimfinger]

Skickliga gitarrister i all ära, men det är inte alla som hittar sin egen röst och lyckas slipa den nästan in i perfektion på det här sättet. Men visst, ge mig 30 år så... ;) Jättebra och rörande tolkningar/kompositioner Martin!

[pinofluvius]

@MrSlimfinger Tack för de mycket vänliga orden!

[freaqie]

fantastic recording,

perfect tone and touch..

may I ask what sort of reverb you use,

and do you use any other effects?

absolutely stunning rendition.

[pinofluvius]

@freaqie Thanks!

I add a reverb in the recording software (Cakewalk Sonar), "warm cathedral"

and a bit of compressor.

[julittok]

@freaqie is he using reverb? I see, it sounds so smooth

[wdai03]

this is so damn beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing the tabs as well, you are truly a muscician!

[Nounum]

simply... amazing

[jagarunik]

I have tried to play this, but It doesn't sound this good. :O 

[PilsenB]

Glad I got to be the 1,000th "like" on this great version!

[WalkinTheStrings]

Hi Martin , impossible to resist so I bought your "Acoustic" CD. It's one of the best work I ever heard, all 15 beautiful songs are played in such incredible way that is your STYLE. It will have space on my mp3 player forever.

Your Forever young cover supersed the original version ;-) yeah!

[pinofluvius]

@WalkinTheStrings Thank you very much!

[BlackTears4]

helt sjukt bra :) gillar såna här versioner, har själv börjat göra såna här arrangemang :)

[rookiegenius]

wao so nice

[MoonlightEve]

Very beautiful version :-) Thanks for tabs. ;-) =

Moc krásná verze:-) Děkuji za taby ;-)

[elowheezy191]

this is my favourite song and an awesome cover!!!-3-3

[571jans]

Opinions of Könskriget?

[zeddolo82]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

[pinofluvius]

@zeddolo82 Thanks, happy new year!

[BrunRockJB]

Tuning is open G

[GuitarJR97]

what tuning are you using??

[ronnie1980]

......what is the size of the strings you use ??

[pinofluvius]

@ronnie1980

Elixir 012-053

Cheers!

[spadevil3000]

Simply beuatiful!!!!!!!!!!

[jesseiseighteen]

dude this was amazing

[cmolesrn]

****tears...so pretty!!! :)

[cmolesrn]

****tears...so pretty!!! :)

[Mattias9508]

Hur länge har du spelat gitarr?? ;)

[pinofluvius]

@Mattias9508 Tja, har i alla fall *haft* gitarrer i 30 år! ;)

[jandrozghd]

You are the best guitarist on youtube mate =D Can't stop listening it... 5 stars + subscribe :3

[SONGSTICKS]

Beautifully contemplative tune,

Beautifully played !!

Thanks for sharing that, really enjoyed it.

Straight into the favourites folder it goes !

In fact... I think I'm gonna hit play again :)

[WilhelmKojac]

As an owner of a Loef guitar (built by my specs), I can say that Martin really gets the best out of his Loef. I'd say that this is all the advertising Olav Loef needs to sell his beautiful instruments. Simply a masterpiece.

[lustgarvaulter]

this is amazing! do you have the tab?

[mmirenzi]

soo beautiful, amazing.

[mmirenzi]

soo beautiful, amazing.

[lamepotes]

Oh my God

[jerkaswede]

grym version! Och tack för tabben, denna var inte så värst svår, är runt 2 minuter in i den. Hur svår skulle du uppskatta att din version av Man of Constant Sorrow skulle vara jämfört med denna?

[pinofluvius]

@jerkaswede Tack! Jag kan inte riktigt göra den bedömningen, det beror så mycket på vad man/ du spelat tidigare osv... Jag tyckte själv att Man of Constant Sorrow var rätt så "enkel" (inte för att jag skulle kunna den just nu... ha ha) men det verkar som de flesta som provar den tycker den är hopplöst svår :)

Den blandar dock lite spelstilar, från fingerpicking via fingerstyle till solospel a la "electric country picking" och perkussiva/ rytmiska slag (snott från t ex Andy McKee)

Kör hårt!

[jerkaswede]

@pinofluvius Får bli att köpa tabben och ge det ett försök. Just det där med perkussiva/ rytmiska slag kan vara knepigt - Jag var inne på Mckee´s Rylynn ett tag men där gick en gräns för mig. Men men övning ger färdighet!

[guitarist9605swe]

@pinofluvius du är fan me den bästa fingerstyle gitarristen jag har sett =D ja ska nog lära mig det här med men det kommer inte gå så bra för mig tror jag inte ^^ hehe tack för länken till tabsen med! kolla järna min kanal och subscrib :P tack & hejdå!

[tien2791]

i love your music. greetings from vietnam!

[Gitarrenkindxd]

Hey Martin i love your Arrangements and my question is, is there any chance to get the "backing tracks" to "The Rose" and "Forever Young". In both Versions i hear Strings in the second verse and i absolutely LOVE IT. Greetings from Germany (:

[hellven89]

you're fucking awesome

[jesccaa]

damm, your real good!! wish i could play like that.

but i think that will take some time:D

i'm 17, so time enough te practice

love your music!!

[martinbird890]

y would anyone dislike this 8 people are idiots

[esther1004]

yes!!! pleas please PLEASE make a tutorial video dude. that'd be legit

[ha1lfback1995]

Dude, this song is so awesome!!!, Would you please make a tutorial on this song(i know you posted the tabulature, but it would be cool if you made a video, because i know that i am not the only one who wants to learn it.

PLEASE make a video

[Symanteq]

Du är verkligen duktig, sjukt fingerfärdig.

Fick mig att plocka fram gitarren även testat att ge mig på denna mäktiga låt som du gör den till, men det lär ta ett tag om inte en evighet innan jag kan den.

Tummarna upp för dig Martin!

[pegheadproductions]

Chet Atkins said: "Good melodies will always find a home."

This is one of those melodies. Well done! 

[ALAplusSKA]

Martin, one word in one sentence. Amazing

[wunwinglo]

Outro is superb. Love the whole thing. Just picked it up on iTunes. Thx for the tab too.

[OlaviKiljo]

Simply fantastic. And Loef Guitars sound so great.

[practicing4]

Beautiful sound and deeply touching arrangement/song! You are gifted! You have a new fan! Blessings, min :-)

[rompemollejas]

nice... I talk to you later...

[dlrdanny]

Hi Martin, what kind and gage of strings do you mostly use? I love your playing, truely great playing. It touches you.

Danny

[pinofluvius]

@dlrdanny Thank you Danny!

I like Elixir strings, 012-053 (any type is ok)

Cheers

Martin

[Patriksundvik]

Får gåshud alltså! Du är ju lätt Sveriges bästa gitarrist! Vad använder du när du spelar in? ZOOM ? Själv har jag zoom q3 men du måste ha nå supergrejer :p

[pinofluvius]

@Patriksundvik Hej Patrik, tack för alla vänliga ord!

Jag har precis skaffat en Q3 som jag tänkte ha på resande fot... Hemma har jag en Rode NT2-A kondensatormik, fångar ljudet bra tycker jag.

[anitadavideduo]

80s!!! Bravo!!

[kallewarn]

What is "Fingerstyle guitar" ??



[Aidref]

@kallewarn

exactly what you're watching now, guitar played with the fingers mainly instead of a pick. Tough to get right at the start but it's something every guitarist should be able to do, plus it sounds lovely :)

[kallewarn]

@Aidref Okey i see, i agree with you that it sounds great.

Anyway, awesome work love your work!

[kallewarn]

Awsome work mann!

[Narcaleptix]

Mate u r no doubt the best guitar player i have ever heard, i have listened to this vid 100 times and it never gets old, could u plz send me the tabs if u have them to tristan_mabbutt@hotmail.co.nz, looking forwrd to ur reply.
