[bylethum]

after you answered to my mail, i just wanted to say thank you, i might record something soon, i think the equip is ready:P.

Ah, the Song, surely a Rag, i can hear Jerry play this Tune, Just awesom, and it MUST be a Star in 1:32 ;D

[bhalbrooktoo]

Another great job Martin. Can't wait for the tab. Also thanks for the Silent Night video and tab. Merry Christmas.

For the ones that couldn't find it, the fly is more like 1:33 to 1:34 and flies over Martin's left shoulder, downward across his picking hand.

[pinofluvius]

Thank you, no problem!

Happy Holidays!

Martin

[beer1for2break3fast4]

Fantastiskt.. Sluta ALDRIG lägga upp filmer Martin, mycketmycket inspirerande! :))

[GuoShushan]

Wow, wow ,wow

[fletchcrik]

Martin, come to England. We want to see/hear you play.

[NPMusic4]

Martin,

You never cease to impress. I really love how much FUN there is in your music - you're so obviously enjoying yourself, and it rubs off on everyone who listens (on my third listen just while typing this!). Not to mention that terrific left hand technique! Another great video, keep it up.

[BirdmanWayne94]

Martin, you're truly one of the finest guitarists I've ever seen! I'd easily say that it's Reed playing if I hadn't seen the video... fantastic!

[wh1tus]

Yay, awesome! Is there any style that you can't play? Another one going to my favorites. I'm gonna have to order your CD for Christmas.

[agrlfmtx]

Smooth and OH so Sweet!!! Loved it! Made me skip down the hall! t:)

[AndanteLargo]

Hello Martin. Just great! I found myself tapping my foot and smile! BTW: isn't that my old guitar I couldn't find for months? Gotcha! :)

Per-Olov

[forbebe]

Awesome, Martin!! As always you always seem to be enjoying it (though can only just see your mouth!). It's flawless and seems effortless. Sign of the true master guitarist! What fly? Thought it was my floater! LOL Keep it up, you're amazing! 5***** Bunny

[agustinamigo]

wow, this sounds so smoooth. Love it!!

[tedinks]

You can pick man! Now we gotta get ya singin like Jerry too ;-)

[tmec52]

Martin,

Tasty & tight, although I can't see all of you, there is a smile when you play that conveys confidence & love of the instrument...believe me, it fuels your playing and makes it sound easy & natural...but its soooo far from simple! Keep up the incredible work.

Tommy

[KYOTOZOOM]

Excellent performance!!

You always very enjoy the guitar playing.

[plateau07]

That was cool and looked like heaps of fun :)

[ironmonger100]

[peteholm]

Hej Martin, trodde jag skulle få höra Big Bills Shuffle Rag men det här var mycket bra det med.

Hälsningar från Peter i Uppsala.

[pinofluvius]

Hej Peter!

Tack, ja, jag visste inte att det fanns en känd låt med samma namn...

Det är frågan som har plågat människan sedan begynnelsen: vad ska man döpa en instrumental till?

:)

MVH/ Martin

[peteholm]

Big Bills Shuffle rag är en höjdarlåt som du borde pröva på.

Fantastic piece. Could you tell me the make of the guitar you're playing? It looks like it has impossible low action.  Thanks.

[pinofluvius]

Thanks!

It´s nothing fancy - an old beat up 70´s Kasuga from Japan. I got it from my friend´s mother. The headstock has been in two pieces at one time, you can see where it´s been glued. The top is also loose in one spot. Still, it´s nice to play, I used this all the time before getting into steel-string.

I actually just sanded the bottom of the bridge saddle down a bit.

The action is low, but not "super-low".

[leemil4]

I have an old beat-up classical guitar just like that, but from (formerly) West Germany. Now I just have to get that picking hand in shape, and I'm in business!

[655521]

Thanks for replying and letting me know about the sanding. Looking forward to your next video.

[GuywithTele]

Cooooool! :))

[Jalmgrener]
