[theMansalad]

I practically cried. This is such an exquisite piece and it was very artfully demonstrated. Thanks for enriching my Monday.

[neapolismusic]

die hohe Schule mit bending, slanting ... echt Klasse !

[graphico]

Love it if you played the whole thing through, I enjoy singing along where no one can hear me.

[bulbheadmyass]

Sweeeeet !

[wds1255]

Man I love your style!

[AlzeenyPerkins]

sweet

[AkiraMusic]

Fantastic. It's amazing how much your bends make it sound like you are playing a pedal steel at points.

[ivepickedcotton1]

Martin, this is one of my favorites by you ( I have listened to all your songs on YouTube . You are blessed with talent.

[Bondidog]

Just magnificant!!

[noemarckk]

[RicardoBirdlegs]

Martin,

I guess the title was meant to be 'Louise' and not 'Lousie', 'cause your playing sure ain't lousy!! ;o)

Love what you do. Makes me happy. Thanks for the music. Good luck from The Netherlands.

[dp11issosweet]

wow, that string bending technique is pretty cool, i just tried it on my dobro and that is going to take some work :) it feels awkward and im getting all kind of noise from lifting up my damping fingers. thanks for giving me something to work on for a while

[VivaldiPaganini]

Oh! Very nice, I luv this Instrument. Nice played, Congratulations!

[OskarKokoskar]

Doesn't get any better than this; phrasing, intonation, style. Kottke has nothing on you, or Jerry Douglas for that matter. Bravo!!

[dimzay]

O Man!

This is breathtaking!

How I can get the scores and minus play?

[arpegio13]

Martin,,i like the way you pull strings with your ring finger,,i,m going to try that on my lap steel,,i hope i can learn more with your videos,,thank you so much,,greetings....

[swamprocker57]

Great Job, never heard this song before. Who wrote and/or did this song originally? Once again nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MartinGross]

swamprocker57,

That`s a sad song written by Paul Seibel. I think most people know Leo Kottkes version.

[madcelt1]

leo's version is better!

[WindEnergy]

I hope Paul Seibel has heard/seen this. I never imagined hearing the tune without the lyrics--magnificent! Thank you so much.

[resoblues]

Hey! Isnt that cheating with that B bender thing there??? Thanks again....

[Newhomerambler]

You're killin' me, that's the sweetist thang I've heard in a long time.

[halidogu]

heiiii Junge, man sollte nicht

glauben, dass du kein Vollprofi bist -

wäre doch zu überlegen !!!!

[franksuz]

Super bon mon amie mais j'aimerais que tu joue les tounes au complet.Merci d'un fan de la guitar Dobro.

[GeoffHoare]

Thanks for your reply re tuning Martin. Any chance of you making any educational DVDs? Or any chance that you give lessons here in the UK ever?

[resopicker]

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[musik102]

Very nice. I used to sing this very sad song (lyrically, that is) years ago.

[gun2205]

Another real nice job on a great song, Martin. I really appreciate the camera view, a good clear visual of both hands, quite helpful for practicing along with you. Thanks so much for the great videos I hope you can keep them coming,Tom Christo

[artfixrog]

great picking and sliding you are an inspiration to new pickers !!!!

[flyinga40]

One of the greatest sounding dobros,and you style is very smooth.. I love it..Thanks Carl

[acousticgerman]

hi, i want to know the tunning of your dobro!!! SIMPLY EXCELLENT YOUR MUSIC!!!!

German.

[GeoffHoare]

Beautiful! Do you use any special tuning (i.e, take 2nd down a half step) for doing the string pulls or are you in straight GBDGBD?

Geoff

[MartinGross]

Geoff,

thanks for posting. Glad you like it. For playing Louise I tuned the Guitar to GBDGAD. Second string is lowerd one note and you got to pull the string one note up.

Martin

[Dobro9]

great picking, very smooth

[deweydewmeyer]

Clean and tight. I was avoiding pulls and slants untill seeing this. Great stuff!!!

[155jerryh55]

What a great song! Great Scherhorn!!

[lazor3001]

love the string pulls! Nice Scherhorn!!!!
