martin sexton - gypsy woman

...live at the vic theatre on friday, sept 21, 2007. absolutely incredible show. the sound crew was terrible, and the lighting was completely off half the time...the performance however was still amazing. hats off to marty for making it work.

sorry the sound quality is so shitty. i recorded it with puredigital's 30 min "flip" digital camcorder.

WOW!!! First I've heard of this guy. He's the real deal. Caught a video earlier with John Mayer and started diggin him. As a long time musician, I really feel for him and this sound crew. If he wasn't so entertaining, he couldn't have pulled it. Being put in that situation sux. Like the old joke says, "I didn't call the sound crew MF's, but I wanna know who called those MF's a sound crew! Tell me, has this guy always been a 1 man show, or has he ever been with a band?

@mjisaacs1 He does some stuff with a band too every now and then, I know his most recent tour for Sugarcoating was with a full band. Good stuff :)

Where are his guitar pickups?

[goose86]

internally...usually in the bridge and at the base of the neck

[andrewjeff]

who is he?the secret brother of jack black?

[goose86]

haha that's what i thought when i first found out about him

[sublimephish187]

listen to a legitimate recording of one entire live concert. Google martin sexton live archives, they're free for download. there are better guitar players...but NO ONE has his synergy of guitar, voice, soul

[nicjohnson57]

Martin Sexton is a genius. You look at music like a competition and you'll never be any good. It's all about taste and soul. Even if that doesn't mean playing a chord or two. You have to "Experience" Martin Sexton to have an opinion. With out doing that .. your words mean nothing. Just a heads up. Martin Sexton "IS" the shit!

@sublimephish187 so well put

[DrStrangelove1987]

@M55ikael its plugged acoustic. they are inside

[Rawfullcopter]

Haha! Okay dude, let's get a guitar in your hands and see you do ANY of Martin's songs LIVE and hope to have a twentieth of the energy, stage presence and vocal talent he has. Nobody gives a shit about how complex his guitar is. And actually, if you actually took the time to watch more of his performances, the man can shred when he wants to. He's no Stevie Ray Vaughn, but we don't care. He's the fucking man and you are a worthless troll.

[richiemabie]

you should never judge an artist by the degree of difficulty in wich he plays, you might be a little happier in life if you can just take this music for what it is THE SHIT

[TangoBinAlsheed]

all I see is the strumming of a few chords!

Pretty weak if you ask me.

You people call this guy a "master" and a "genius"

please.....

[jasmanduk]

youre right xD jack black.. they are alike there
