Bluegrass for kids - Itsy Bitsy Spider

[steelguitar7]

Great my friend!

[quasim0do]

You have an amazing talent man!

How is that Tanglewood mandolin? I'm considering buying their a-style solid mahogany (TMAS). Have you tried it?



[RedRocker442]

says for kids but i listen to it all the time :D

[snapperjohn1000]

martin, you are the bomb any one that can finger pick the way you do, then flat pick guitar like that and play everything else is a true master

[DeliciousNasty]

I don't think people understand the real purpose of a capo. I don't know how many times I've had people refer to it as a "cheaters tool," not realizing that it actually changes the tone of the chords you're playing, depending on what chord shape you wanna use for that matter. Or if you're like me and you have tendonitis in both of your forearms, playing bar-chords for too long can really become painful and do further damage.

[DeliciousNasty]

Do you do your own audio mastering? Because that's some clean audio playback, very clean at that.

[BulowWilliam]

This is great! Why not make an album with bluegrass-versions of children's song?

[snapperjohn1000]

i dont think that there is an end to this mans tallents. he sure is one of the best pure guitarist i have ever heard,and now he flat picks also,like whats next? does he write lyrics,and sing too?

[gogokhan95]

Top notch!  Great playing, great arranging, and great engineering. Ricky Skaggs would be impressed with this piece.

[bigbeninjax]

Hi, great musicianship and multi-tracking. Really enjoyed this version of a "classic". Being a keyboardist, I didn't realize that a capo was such a treasured specialty item. LOL. I learn something every day!

Special thanks to Lee/lukessummer for the send.

[waimanalo19]

Fantastic!

[AcousticHaim]

Just loved it!

[giinhhakha]

that was super. Great sound and nice pickin'

[Paulmanorbier]

Wahoo! That was great

[DamianNixon]

brilliant smiley stuff.

[Qpidon]

Man, you are something else..! ;-D

[pinofluvius]

You too Pascal, you too...

:D

Martin

[castellanoguitar]

i agree with hanz who cares about the capo. You are a very talented dude; keep it going. Hell, they even have resonator capos: who knows what you could accomplish with that.

Awsome 5stars

[pinofluvius]

Thank you!

Yeah, I know - I actually have one of those resonator capos. Might post something with it!

Cheers

Martin

[HanzP]

Bravo, bravissimo! Great, great playing Martin - who cares about the capo on the mandolin? *****

Greets

Hansel

[pinofluvius]

Hallo Hansel, thank you!

I know, it really doesn´t matter... Someone once asked a pro mandolin player if it was ok to use a capo, and he replied "sure, but everyone will laugh at you" :)

[Chaos218]

Haha trodde aldrig jag skulle få höra Imse Vimse Spindel i den här tappningen ;) 5/5

[pinofluvius]

Inte jag heller, ha ha ;)

Tack!

Anything is possible!

[BirdmanWayne94]

My friend, that was amazing! Great to see you back Martin...

[pinofluvius]

Hey Yeman, thank you - glad to hear from you!

Martin

[agrlfmtx]

That was so cool how you did the recording. Bet it took you a few minutes to do all that! Best version of IBS I ever heard!! t:)

[pinofluvius]

Thank you! Yeah, it took a couple of days of warming up on the different picking styles...

[ptalbany]

Your friend

Paul

[pinofluvius]

Hey Paul, thank you so much for those kind words, they mean a lot.

Martin

[ShadowsScreamAgain]

[puddud22]

Well done! Very cool. 5 stars.

Jeff

[pinofluvius]

Thank you Jeff, nice to hear from you!

[puddud22]

One other thing... Where's the fiddle? :)

[oldwhtman]

Why am I not surprised you're a kick-ass flatpicker too? You're always entertaining, Mr. Tallstrom.

[pinofluvius]

Thanks! I wrote the flatpicking solo and had to play it a hundred times before recording it so... But I do love that sound, sigh...

[oldwhtman]

By the way, I stumbled upon a comment you made a couple months ago concerning "Canadee-IO". You indicated that you were trying to figure out Nic Jones' instrumental arrangement. If you're still interested, there's a book published called "English Folk Guitar" by Michael Raven that contains tab of Nic's arrangement.

[skengeboy]

Framfört med bravur, som vanligt! Kul att se så många av gitarrmästarna på youtube bidra till communityt genom att kommentera varandras videos osv. I hope to join you guys one day!

[pinofluvius]

Tack för det!

Jo, jag håller med, alla vill kolla vad som händer på de olika fronterna. Ett mycket trevligt community.

[AbsurdBrane]

Absurdly Good!

[pinofluvius]

An absurdly big thanks  :)

[donPabloArturo]

Very big 5. Bravo.

[GuitarEkket86]

haha vilken härlig version du gjort! skönt att du börja lagt upp igen:)

[pinofluvius]

Tjena, tack för det! Jag ska försöka lägga upp mer, hösten brukar vara bra för kreavtiviteten..?

Vi hörs

Martin

[GuitarEkket86]

Det hoppas jag, ser fram emot mer! den här versionen var ju väldigt kreativ må ja säga:)

[jayers000]

Monster playing! Great, great job...

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Very fine little work, Martin!

Great recording and video ideas - I will steal from you :-)) It was just far too long that you posted a new video. Great to see you're back again!

Cheers and stars, my friend!

Bernd

[pinofluvius]

Hallo Bernd, steal away :)

Thank you for the kind words, glad to be back - but being a daddy takes more time than I expected... Pheew :D

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Ooh, that's the best reason for beeing absent on YT. I have three boys but they're no babies any more - and that helps getting some time back. Congratulation, I hope all is well and you get enough sleep at night ;-)

Cheers,

Bernd

[AndanteLargo]

Hej Martin! As usual you make me smile from pure joy that there are someone like you! You're the best!

Tack min van (har en Engelsk dator)

Per-Olov

[pinofluvius]

Hej Per-Olov, tack så mycket, thanks!

How´s life in Sweden these days?

All the best

Martin

[AndanteLargo]

Hej Martin,

It's good. I live by the beach looking at Kronborg castle every day. Only 'problem' is going with the ferry to Denmark every day for teaching. Long days... But I am OK. I'll do anything for my Marie... :-) Are you OK in your new home?

See you my friend.

Per-Olov

[Guitarplayer128]

[Qpidon]

After merely 10 seconds of listening you managed to put a smile on my face...a smile that lasted till the very end!

What a blast Martin, what a blast!

[pinofluvius]

Thanks Pascal, keep smiling :)

[mat0920]

Very good Martin, I'm a bluegrasser and that was very good. Your talent seems to have no bounds.

cheers and keep up the good work.

[pinofluvius]

Thanks man, I love the bluegrass sound, and I´m glad if I could nail some of it!
