Jiffy Jam (Jerry Reed) played by M. Tallstrom

Thought I´d try and record this groovy Jerry Reed tune... Played on the Maton EBG808 Artist, which is very easy on the hands :)

I used this Buster B. Jones video for reference:

And the cool lick in the beginning I stole from Mark Hill´s version:

Thanks for watching!

That Smile! :) Like woow I'm doing those crazy licks..did you see that! whaa Your amazing. I wish you were livin' in Holland so you could teach me how to digg that groove. Thanks

[pinofluvius]

Thanks again Lars! Glad you like the smile :)

I don´t think about it myself, but it´s probably like you say - sometimes I´m surprised that I actually nailed a certain lick! Also, of course, like you already know, nothing makes us happier than playing the guitar!! When the picking works, I might add...

On another note, I just saw a DVD from a concert with Joe Robinson in Germany, where you joined him on stage - great stuff, loved it! Keep pickin´

As a guitarist... and in general ... as a human... it saddens me to think that you playing like that is what you consider struggling when i myself would have to sell my soul to The Dark Prince to come anywhere close to your talent!!!

[pinofluvius]

He he, yeah, I´m sorry... What I really mean is that I breathe heavily throughout the song (the hissing sound) which is due to deep concentration :) The more secure I feel with a song, the less of this type of unwanted noise, I guess...

[davidheroX5]

Yeah i can see where you're coming from with that. Well i heard no bad noise only the sound of amazing playing. Cant wait for your next upload... A constant inspiration :)

[pinofluvius]

Thanks!

Yeah, the noises were actually slightly diminished by the YouTube processing (it CAN be a good thing ha ha)

[huwztube]

Man your fingers are like fucking liquid!

Nice one

[bigemoney31]

You make me feel like giving up on my acoustic... for real. You're right up there with Tommy Emmanuel

[lennyedwards62]

Superb command of your guitar. A tip of the cap. ;-)

[RiverroadRecords]

Wow! You play this number so unstrained, I`m impressed.

Just bought myself one of this EBG808 Artist on import, havent arrived. Cant wait to get hold of it :)

[DuncanSchmoll]

so outstanding, all your videos are great. I am more from a classical background but am inspired to work with a thumb pick on the acoustic like you. I've tried with my natural thumb nail but you can't get that angle there! So good though, love all your stuff! Hope you have time to check out some of my videos too!

[jacobe888]

Oh Lord this SWINGS!!! :-)

[Romancandle5929]

Great job man! loved the tommy emmanuel ending :)

[potovski]

Martin, I must say you are incredible! I like it so much! :)

[o8wattsa]

amazing :) my version's no where near as good :(

[LedDaveZeppelin]

@pinofluvius Yea, If I were nailing half of those licks you couldn't get me to stop smiling. lol.
