  • A man at one with the song, perfect!

  • Amazing live guitar and vocals...blown away

  • Pretty spectacular. I listen mostly to hip hop but this is excellent (and I love Jimi Hendrix). You can tell he loves the music and is into it. The voice inflections are cool too.

  • Brilliant !

  • no me canso de verlo y verlo. Lo repito, como me gusta ver a alguien disfrutar tanto de la musica

  • Nice song man, loved the original. But this ( i think) is BETTER!!!!!

  • @iTzxMUZZA I love martin, and the song, and this version. but honestly, there will never be anyone greater than jimi hendrix.

  • @n8rtot7 don´t compare!! Just enjoy!! ;)

  • What a massive talent. Love you, Martin.

  • I love him. He makes handling that guitar look as carefree as a 17 year old composing a tweeeeeet! Fluid

  • pretty freakin sick.. voice is different 4 sure....

  • 11 ex-Hendrix roadies have no taste in acoustic covers.

  • Very nice man, love the Jack Black thing you got going!

  • @82cornbread This is Martin F'n Sexton!!! Jack Black??!!(SHUDDER)

  • @mfergy514 I think he's referring to the vocal guitar solo. Marty's face does look very silly when he's doing that.

    Still... the leap from Jack Black to Sexton is like making the leap from Jason Arulo to Imogen Heap

  • @82cornbread that's an immeasurable insult. 

  • Obermässig!!! Jimmy hätte seine Freude daran :-)

  • F'+"ing  awesome.

  • as loose as Jimi might do

  • I think I just found Jack Blacks brother! He's just like him! Funny, talented and a great singer! Awesome!

  • I do not even like the song "Hey Joe" and I love this. So awesome!!!

  • That is " BEING THERE"...great soul !!

  • Hehe cool vocal guitar solo! you rock

  • damn, he's good

  • I had never heard of him until watching this video, but he is awesome. Wonderful vocalist and very, very talented on acoustic guitar. Plays with no pick and gets all kinds of tones and timbres. The scat sung solo was brilliant. Being an acoustic player myself, this was a real demonstration video for me. I'm blown away by this guy.

  • yesss,, that´s fantastic..

  • That's what playing the guitar is all about

  • Who the hell disliked this!?

  • Tabs?

  • Wow, made my day, dude!

  • best solo ever :D

  • EINFACH GEIL....

  • My kinda musician. Glad I found him here.

  • holy shit this isback stage at my work .. the venue he played at ! i remember the curtains ! nice ... he was a very polite and soft spoken man .

  • @gqprophet2010 right enough I bet you can really tell with the curtains :P

  • Nice! so nice....:X

  • grande assolo!!!!

  • @MrVittorio85 Who you callin a grande assolo!!LOL!!!

  • All I got to say is wow!!

  • Love your spirit man rock on!

  • y didnt i watch this three years ago ?! best cover ever jimmy would b proud :)

  • @BaronSalsa Jimi would indeed be proud !

  • just an amazing talent. best acoustic version i've seen.

  • on the solo he looks and sounds like Jack Black,besides,its a fantastic cover,much respect

  • i would love to hear him play inside a cool cafe on a rainy day

  • It is a crime that this video only has 141,426 views.

  • man if u can do it in a tent u can do it on stage!

  • Kudos!!! Love it.

  • I like your style. Great version of a classic.

  • that is one of the best remakes of jimi i have EVER heard. usually copying the masters doesn't go too well....but that was freaking amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • he has the same energy of a whole band, maybe even more xD

  • @FenderMannen This is so true. There is something extra with this guy, hard to describe it. If you listen to the VLOG on the lake when he does the Beatles song, its just Marty, his fam and his guitar in the middle of a lake and he lights that water on fire all by himself...amazing!

  • good stuff keep it up brah

  • Dude you caught me off guard @ 1.20. SUPER!! I covered the song but I'm not a picker... perhaps I should work up your version for my show. Just great. All the best your way!! Sherrill  I'm goin front side to sub you. Totally impressed. Sherrill

  • Awesome

  • I really enjoyed this version.....awesome. I also have a cover of this on youtube but feel like taking it of after listening to this ...great...P.S. I thougt about doing that style solo for a long time....made me laugh my ass of

  • Martin is the best.

  • If I blow my ear drums out listening to 'Just To Be Alive" on Martin's new album I will be a happy man. This is music.

  • ♥

  • That was so sweet!!!

  • dude you are awesome you can play and sing equally well. Nicely done!

  • bu manyaklığı bizimle paylaştığın için teşekkürler türkçe'den

  • Fantastic! the accapella solo was unexpected and it made me smile. I loved it.

  • very very good. like this

  • Yeah, thats got to be the best acoustic cover of Hey Joe that I've heard. Martin was great with Peter Frampton @ the Jammys.

  • I simply am enchanted by this video. I could watch it over n over n over again!

  • perfect :)

  • I bought Black Sheep and I've played it about 500 times, I love it. Which one should I buy next?

  • sooolooo is amazing

  • Live Wide Open- 2pc

    Solo- w/ free concert DVD

    Seeds- studio

    In the Journey-studio

    The American-studio

    His website has a pack of all of them you can buy online.

  • why can't everyone else record their videos with proper sound?

    Thanks mate

  • AMAZING!!

  • Sometimes he records things behind stage like warming up before or after a gig.

  • Adorei. Muito legal =D

  • nice grammar, and he already has a contract. You know nothing about music if you are confusing any of this with country music.

  • Fricking Fabulous 5 *****'s

  • how did u get this vid?  amazing

  • zajebisty koles...

  • Fuck Yes, this is mad respect to jimmy. Props on this, wow.

  • Great interpretation of Jimi's version. "The" version in mine eye.

    Very smooth and for the one commenting on Jack Black. I can see the comparison, though JB can't play the G as well as this man can.

  • WOW! What an incredibly skilled musician.

  • omg you remind me of Jack Black in Tenacious D. You're a great artist.

  • Comment removed

  • by god your good , sad to say i only heard of you a few days ago , a revelation , well done :)

  • 1:24 to 1:29 i actually rofled

  • Kick ass!

  • a true artist

  • Amazing

  • This is so sick.

  • i love you Martin.

  • you r very good man,gratz

  • Martin Sexton is right up there with Cash, Nelson and Kristofferson in my life and the one of the most amazing artist of all time, Live Wide Open is so dam strong, my heart rate always takes off when listening. I love my artist from Edith to Cash, but Sexton hits home like Cash does for me, so dam right on.

    Keep singing please, I saw you many times and just to name a few, Telluride was beautiful with you singing in the mountains, and Chicago was simply amazing.

    Thank you

  • LOL @ the vocal solo haha man he's so amazing

  • This guy SHOULD be really famous. A genuine musical prodigy. Fantastic performer...

  • nice sentiment, but he knows what we might know- that being 'famous' robs you of what you truly love. This guy makes it all his own and he loves what he does..... it is a gift to witness it.

  • That dude rooocks !

  • martin sexton is amazing

  • tru dat

  • somebody know where I can find this amazing tab of this version...is it really good...

    please if somebody can tellme...

  • Seen him about a dozen times at small venues.  I love martin.

    Good vid.

    Talented musician

  • Martin is the Cats Ass! He's the Left Nut! He's All That AND A Bag Of Chips! I've got all of his his CD's and three times as many boot shows. Hey Matrin, if your out there, when are you going to release a DVD of one or 10 of your shows?

  • héhé ce serait bien le genre de Jack black lol, blague à part ce mec est terrible !!! vraiment très chouette et très bon groove :)

  • Wow, he is so good. I bought one of his albums and it's great. I just love this guy!

    Is that a ... flight attendant in the background?

  • Not a flight attendant, but wife/mgr/baby's momma, etc.....all around awesome lady.

  • Cool.

  • vocal solo ...that was unexpected a really good !!

  • It's not fair that people don't know this guy. This is living proof that the music industry knows nothing about music. If I had half the talent.......

  • God what a voice--literally a talent that only comes around once in a very long time.

  • amazing, rose and hendrix would be impressed

  • 150% awesome 1000% sexy

  • Thats impossible

  • Nothing is impossible!

  • Absolute brilliance, i must say!

    Martin, please release this song, it would rock!

  • Incredible performance, so calm, so sweet and so professionally done at the backstage.

  • muito bom....

  • A master at work!!

    Brilliant. Top notch

  • LOL at the vocal solo! +1 :D
