Martin Simpson Medley

[JazzerTryckeri]

Looking forwards to seeing you at the Chesterfield Folk Club in April 2012

[OliverMaguire]

hi guys, Martin Simpson's album " Special Agent " is a classic. I have the record but its a little scratched and i wondering where could i get another copy of it or his version of " Desporado " from that album. I would be grateful for your help or sugestions.

[ChristopherDowning]

Just shows you what you can do if you chill out and let the playing coming through without trying to be too technical or fast. Beautiful playing.

[TomBandfield]

Holy FUCK :D

[Fergyguitar]

Many years since I saw him live but he has always impressed me greatly, and that guitar sound is something else.

[MsPolmac]

Amazing!!! What a technical expression and the feeling.... awesome

[Astrodan2600]

Many guitarists' are virtuosos for the sake of showing off - but this guy uses his virtuosity for all the right reasons.

[jonnybottle]

@Astrodan2600 to me he will always be just young simpson from the year below me at a grammar school in Scunthorpe.

[bandruid]

You are a Master! It shocks me! Beautiful.

Thank you for being such a great artist.

[tommascold]

absolutely breath taking! what a phenominal artist! awesome!

[gtrrobster]

Cool...I have not seen that sequence in a while.

The entire concert is really good.

As are all the Freight and Salvage shows from SGGWS

Simpson, Pat Donohue's is awesome, J Renbourn, Brozman.....they are all worth multiple views.'

And MArtin's 3 part DVD tutorial from Homespun is spectacular....I especially learned a lot from Santa Cruz, Long Steel Rail, CooCoo Bird, and the ballad medleys...as he plays here for the show opener.

I think MS is a true genius of understatement.

Seeing is believing! Thanks to Fendermac leaving a trail of breadcrumbs here, I've now experienced Martin Simpson's virtuosity. It doesn't seem possible to produce the layers and variety of sounds and tempos with a solo guitar, no edits! Dazzling. ~A new Florida Fan

[lenaspieltblues]

Fantastic, great tune by a wonderful player ... thanks fendermarc for the share! :=))

[tyrovic]

either that or he

 knows nothing

[Jarrahnut]

Ah, my dear gnomebottom, do I detect a troll sense of humour?

[onecanmadman]

Does anyone know what tuning this is in?

[Blackbooks78]

CGDGCD from low to high.

[onecanmadman]

Thankyou please :) I've always liked the first part of this tune.

[Giafdlm]

D A D G B e

[Xerxes4242]

Nope, blackbooks was right

[Giafdlm]

I play it on D A D G B e, and the positions he uses ae the same

[Xerxes4242]

It is definitely played in CGDGCD, maybe some of the positions are the same but it is not exactly the same by any means

[Giafdlm]

Well, it is almost,except for the IIIrd IVth, one tone under, so the positions are almost the same

[fakesteezepolice]

Xerxes4242 hath spoken.

[gnomebottom]

It's amazing how poorly some people play, shame really, ruins an otherwise nice tune...

[gnomebottom]

Just kidding!

[Daycron66]

Take THAT, Yngwie Malmstein.

[krumeneimer]

amazing musician

[VIDEO2478]

[Mouldytone]

Every time I hear or see Martin Simpson play guitar my jaw gets a little closer to the ground. Class with a capital A+
