[feelingproject]

Simply beautifull, ƒ

[Kilgore40]

Beautiful.  Why would anyone dislike this?

[squirelad28]

This guy is a genius, i could listen to this all day, im buying your cd.

brilliant

[e2rdh]

Very impressive ... it rocks !! Just bold a lapsteel for a cheap price to start ( 6 strings)

Is it possible to play u song with 6 strings and without a capo in E or G major?

thnx keep up the good work !!

[stein657]

Fantastic!

[simon24nook]

Martin, breath-taking...

[ianisc00lio]

this is incredible. is it difficult for a guitar player to learn how to play lap steel?

[rainz777]

"WOW" Great song, very good note choice sounds great, my favorite part is at the 2:09 mark sounds bluesy, pinch harmonic scream is a nice touch, very soulfull

Peace be with u

[BillWalkerGuitar]

 lovely and lyrical thanks

[steelguitar7]

Beautiful!!

[mindbodylightsound10]

i really like the song, i kind of feel like it could be longer. such as adding a contrasting section in a minor key or something that develops and eventually resolves back to the main motifs. well done otherwise.

[rhinoluck1]

Definitely diggin on this!

[Thill1116]

beautiful

[TheBamaKid1962]

Martin....YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! Beautiful job.

[1952Telecaster]

[goscha7452]

[Guitarbque]

Beautiful !!!

[jakesimmons815]

keep up the hard work

[Pyrognosis]

Beautiful sounds. Wonderful composition. Thanks.

[MegaMikey62]

Thanks for the inspiration. I think I will be introducing the lap steel into the band I am with. This one video has answered a lot of questions I had about this instrument!

[southroncross]

Great song, great playing. Well done.

[bazthehandyman]

Please could you give me the tuning...just got a lap steel and have put it to c6 tuning...is that the best.Cheers for your help.

[Johnnyboybravo]

do you recommend a Shubb SP2 for lap steel? I have a bottle type slide and want something different and don't know between a shubb style or those metal ball point style.. both cost over 20 bucks so I want to make the right choice. I mainly wanna play Hawaiian style (long key notes)

[CanyonTide]

Very, very nice!

[Mrlifto1000]

dang. my steels don't sound like that!

[Fingerpicker01]

You are so good it drives me mad!You have an incredible feel.Check out my rendition of freight train,it's based on yours and tommy's approach-but without the talent!

[PhilipK100]

Is a lap steel expensive? Is it possible to get one in Northern Ireland? Are they difficult to play compared to normal slide Guitar - EG Ron Wood style? Mind you I'm s shit guitar player - so much to learn - Theory plus pratice = brain hurts :)

[jakehadlee]

Nice Ry Cooder Bop Til You Drop era sound to this song. Good stuff as usual

[caseguit]

very ! very! NICE sond and soung ! enjoy !

[tom99ss]

Grymt !!

[patero77]

Simply Beauty ...

[1coryrsleepy]

I just got wowed again from your amazing talent....is that song on one of your CDs?

[HunkOfBurningLove1]

always looking at this video sounds so relaxin' lol i was trying to put some words to it but anyways man very nice

[DomikaM]

It's great. I like to listen your play. Thank you :)

[goffbum]

Damn, that is nice....I'm just startin out.....

[fuciledacaccia]

Just another fabulous tune; which now we have come to expect, and you always deliver and never fail to disappoint us.

Michael

[jamiejessup90]

Hey There I really like that "screaming" sound you get at around 2:19. What are you doing there? I'm guessing pinch harmonic? real cool it would be awesome if you could share

[pinofluvius]

@jamiejessup90

Thanks! It´s a harmonic produced by touching the palm of my picking hand an octave up from the "fretted" note while picking. It´s a great effect, but it´s tricky at first to hit the right spot.

[moors49]

You are a friggin' genius. I'm giving up guitar right now.

[pinofluvius]

@moors49 Ha ha, thanks! But never quit playing..!

[bigscreenadventures]

That ranks in the top 5 of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, dynamics are perfection, Jackson tone is incredible, love it all..

[pinofluvius]

@bigscreenadventures Thank you for the kind words!

[bigscreenadventures]

Truly incredible and inspiring, thank you...

[Backlund87]

GRYMT bra låt! Är det en 6- eller 8-strängad gura? Svårt att urskilja antalet.

[pinofluvius]

@Backlund87

Tack! Det är en 6-strängad Supertone, öppen E-stämning.

[GrumpyDave]

That was awesome!

[kr002]

du är grym!:)

[tojonas]

amazing!!!!

[playintheblues19]

wow... utterly inspiring.

[JAIJAI0]

Bloody well done Mr, great tone, feeling and arrangement!!

Cheers from Oz,

Joel

[lecleto]

Very nice sound a musci! Excelent techinique! That´s incridible what you can do with a Open E Tunning, in this video G. I have your videos in my HD. That´s a inspiration for me! Congratulations! Very Very good job! Your official tunning is open E or you use an other?

[pinofluvius]

Thank you very much!

I mainly use open E for the lap steel, I have another Fender lap steel which is currently tuned to an open A6, but I haven´t really been using that... My squareneck resonator is tuned to open G (GBDGBD) or open D.

Cheers

Martin

[dvntc]

I love it! Beautiful tune & fine playing.

Please sir, can we have some more?

JW (UK)

[pinofluvius]

Thank you JW!

I ´ll try to record some more of this type of stuff soon...

Cheers

Martin

[neapolismusic]

Cheers - wherever u r

Martin (Germany)

[pinofluvius]

Hey Martin (what a nice name), thank you for the kind comments!

I live in Sweden, and just came back from visiting my sister in Tulln, Austria.

Tschüss und Frohe Weihnachten :)

//Martin

[neapolismusic]

Hey Martin, Super tone your supertone. I play a pre war Bakelite Ricky and will record (with a RC2 Looper) after X-Mas (Weihnachten) ... your video made me want to do this. It's great and apparently you just make really good music. Best regards to you

Frohe Weihnachten ;)

[toolman4867]

awesome playing. a true musician... and lots of talent... keep bringing them pino. i listen to you everyday. you showed me alote. never as good as you and probably never will be, but will do my best. thanks man cheers!!!!

[pinofluvius]

Hi and thank you for all the kind words, never stop pickin´!

Cheers

Martin

[Legato5150]

Absolutely wonderfull, soulfull playing!!

Thanx for sharing these masterpieces and keep em coming!

[Frombonics]

Very nice, great tune. Can hear some Landreth tones in there but it's all still very unique and original. I love lapsteel.

[walkerwebfx]

Very cool! Like Santo meets Jeff Beck!

Very nice work! -Don Walker

[GMBCATASTROPHE]

Dude this is magnificent. More please.

This world is drifting to a deep dark place. You cannot understand how important something this good is for everyone right now.

[RedSmoky]

Absolutely beautiful. amazing playing and sound.

[pinofluvius]

Thank you, that was nice to hear!

Martin

[HunkOfBurningLove1]

ALL i can say is Damn alot of hard work there you are very good the sound was awesome

[geetarwanabe]

2:18 is incredibly beautiful sound

[pinofluvius]

Thanks, yeah those harmonics can sound sweet if you hit the right spot :)

[stringmanipulator]

very very nice .. and your cd totally rocks too !!! I wish I cold play half as good as you do ..

are you planning any concert near Lund in the near future ?

keep on rocking

[pinofluvius]

Thank you, tack så mycket!

Nja, tyvärr så har jag aldrig kommit igång med att spela eget material live...

:)

MVH/ Martin

[RedDwarfDrWho]

so what are the odds getting this sound on a regular guitar instead of lap steel where the strings are a mile away from the frets sounds great i like it

[bluesmez4]

Lots of guys get acoustics setup like that, thats not that uncommon to see.

[pinofluvius]

Yep, you can get a new higher "nut" - I once had a little lap steel kit, which included a steel bar, finger picks and a steel nut that you placed under the strings at the zero fret.

But I´m thinking about getting a Weissenborn someday...

[HaraldPetry]

GREAT !!!

[german8er]

Very nice, like it a lot. 5 stars to that man, a treat for my ears.

[pinofluvius]

Thank you for that!

[waitswatcher]

very nice! :-)

[seventhwhistler]

Really great playing.

[Judplay]

You're incredible. I've been watching your videos for a while now, but this tops it all. A new high. Thanks so much. This should get air play.

[pinofluvius]

Thank you, that´s sweet of you!

So glad you enjoyed it.

Martin

[Mucklum]

Superb playing, Martin ! That´s how it should be and I enjoyed it very much. Gret feel in that tune, cheers !

[psykro81]

great song man !

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Excellent! *****

[GuitarEkket86]

Jag kan inte sluta lyssna på denna låt Martin! den är ju helt underbar, kommer den med på nåt album? :)

[pinofluvius]

Tack, vad kul!

Jag skulle gärna ha med den på någon skiva, men man vet inte riktigt hur mycket spridning man vågar ha på en och samma platta, stilmässigt..? Kanske får göra ett sidoprojekt.

[GuitarEkket86]

isåfall så skulle du ha gjort en inspelning av Sleepwalk :)

[pinofluvius]

Den har jag faktiskt funderat på!

[GuitarEkket86]

ser fram emot den då=)

[furiousnewf]

Awesome, I wish I had a lap steel and knew how to play it

[dben842504]

You are one of the best guitarist I have ever seen. I recently purchased your CD. It is graet I play it all the time. Do your go on tour? It would great to hear you in person.

[pinofluvius]

Thanks man - also for the purchase!

Sorry, I don´t get out much :(

But I might have to start working in that direction...

Regards

Martin

[jnklaz]

Absolutley amazing!

[agrlfmtx]

What can you NOT do??? T:)

[tvanhalen]

your album was great and this is superb, it would make a great score to a movie :)

[RobertoColombo]

Beautiful!!

[74hodag]

Wow! I usually don't like steel but this is great!. Leave it to you to come up with something I can like on a lap steel.

[emgcarra]

You should hear Jerry Douglas.....

[pinofluvius]

Thanks! Yes, check out Jerry Douglas, both on resonator and lap steel.

[warrantofficerliu]

beautiful.... country ish, but not really... soo nice!

[ooff]

almost sounds like something sonny landreth would play (even though i know he plays guitar and not steel)

[pinofluvius]

Thanks, I really like Mr Landreth. Certainly a slide guitar influence (and songwriter).

[BirdmanWayne94]

That sounds beautiful. I like the mood. Were those ACID Loops used in your older tracks (like Lyin' Eyes) or you used diferrent drums? I like the sound and would love to know more.

Thanks,

- Yeman

[pinofluvius]

Hi Yeman, thanks!

On the older tracks I have only used "guitar percussion" (eg on Lyin´ Eyes), like if you hit the strings above the soundhole you get a bass drum sound, and at the fretboard a snare drum effect .

Some of the shakers and tambourines are ACID loops also. You can download lots of stuff like that, although I bought mine on CD. In Cakewalk (and other progs) you can often create your own loops (that changes with the tempo), so you don´t have to record all through the song.

[newporter42]

Nice job, good melody and backing tracks, tone with just enough bite, clear playing and recording.

[TJARL]

Du har ett ruskigt flyt i ditt spelande. Mycket bra jobbat! :)

[pinofluvius]

Tack, glad att det är uppskattat!

/Martin

[DamianNixon]

Good man Martin. D.

[KYOTOZOOM]

Really beautiful music.

This song is makes me rellax.

I'm greatful to you.

[puddud22]

Martin,

That's a very catchy melody. I'll bet if you arranged a solo on the Baritone guitar it would be great as well!

Jeff

[BrighamHB]

awesome song!

this really makes me want to go learn lap steel...

[JMDenver]

Martin, great playing and great song! --John

[oldwhtman]

Beautiful piece of music, Mr. Tallstrom.

[Freedaaa]

you are shining like those 18 X 5 stars (so far) above. You are playing as if it was nothing .... Great artist...

[Supremelord]

Hi Martin! What an awesome song! Sounds really nice! 10 *

[ldvries]

Wow!!! What happened at 2:18 ? Was that a harmonic?

*** Note to self: need to experiment more with my lapsteel... ***

[pinofluvius]

Yep!

It´s one of those done with the palm of the right hand an octave above the "fretted" note.

It´s the steelers way of doing it. Problem is if you miss the octave spot, you wind up with nothing... :)

[Batman001]

Sounds great Mr.Vius. 5/5

Keep on pickin,

Cheers!

-Batman001

[pinofluvius]

Thank you Batman!

[Cu1t06]

amazing!bravo...

[ptalbany]

Is there no end to your talents LOL

Love it keep them coming

I hope life has been good and all is well

Have a bless day

Paul

Oh ya the wife says hi as well

[pinofluvius]

Hey Paul, thanks!

I hope you are well too. Say hi to the wife!

Take care

Martin

[fransgreg]

It's a magical instrument when well played as martin does here ! Last week, I heard Daniel Lanois on stage with some lap steel songs, and wow, tears were coming easy ! He's a master ... His new release with his "Black Dub" group will come out very soon, I think.

[pinofluvius]

Oh yeah, he´s good!

[lemmy555]

Beautiful!

[ramsesse]

great...

[GuitarEkket86]

ursäkta språket, men helvete vilken skön låt! jäkla kul att du lägger upp massa videos igen =)

[pinofluvius]

Tack min vän, har hittat lite mer tid att spela på sistone...

[GuitarEkket86]

Det är ju kanon, själv så har jag knappt rört en gitarr på sistonde, även fast man har köpt en ny..

[pinofluvius]

Det var ju synd... Vad är det för ny gitarr?

(Det kanske du redan berättat..?)

[GuitarEkket86]

Köpte en Fender Kingman, köpte den mest för utseendets skull men den lät fint å riktigt skön att spela. det är en akustisk gitarr med ett elgitarrshuvud :) ska försöka göra nån inspelning så fort jag får lite tid

[pinofluvius]

Thanks, I have always liked the sound of slide guitar etc, so I try to keep myself updated on the lap steel.

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

Very Cool,

DDR

[fransgreg]

Hi Martin !

Nice solo we can watch here !

But could you tell us about other tracks ? I can hear drums and bass, but any acoustic guitar too, i think ...

[pinofluvius]

Thanks!

Good idea, check the video info, I updated!

Martin

[GusJoh]

Du är geni på allt med strängar! dagens ljuspunkt när du lägger upp nytt :) keep it up!

[pinofluvius]

Nu tar du väl i :)

Tack!

[mainthink]

[ThumbAndFingers]

Nice!

[MateyGray]
