Break Room Sessions - Martin Sexton

www.premierguit... While on tour, Martin Sexton stopped into Premier Guitar headquarters to talk with Jason Shadrick about Led Zeppelin, altered tunings, and his bare bones approach to gear.

[@Ohsage1111]

I'm not sure if Martin is uninterested in being uber famous or not, but I sure wish pop culture would worship people like him...someone with a message about beauty and connectedness and passion. What a brilliant light and superb talent. So inspiring on multitudes of levels.

[@dirtywaterfab1695]

Martin is such a rare talent. i remember seeing him busking in Boston in the early 90s, he was just as impressive then.

[@cheezmunky1]

Thank you, Premier Guitar!!!!!!!! I've been a fan of Martin for years, and he's one of those singers that makes you giddy when you hear him, plus, like a totally awesome guitarist at the same time. I'm giddy over here. Thanks for this.

[@daineXx]

Very, and i really mean very, underrated guitarplayer

[@JamesDel]

Interviewer does not look impressed!! I'm drooling after the 1st song!! Are you kidding me?!?? That jazzy arrangement and playing. Holy SHIT!!

[@garrygrasinski]

Agreed! Not even a foot tapping! I had the biggest smile on my face. What a talented dude Martin Sexton is!

[@richardneel6953]

Friggin interviewer is a robot. This music is so unbelievable moving and he's just like, "thanks". Pearls before swine.

[@loosedragfilms4093]

Greetings dullard. Listen to his questions. Listen how Martin answers. He digs him, and we have these performances as a result. Find some other problem to solve please.

[@NickGibbsmusic]

Wonderful song and performance! The most underrated singer and songwriter in the world!

[@jazzizm]

Never heard of the guy. Awesome. Fantastic songs, killer guitar player, great singer, guy's got soul. *hoppin' over to iTunes...*

[@boocho1]

..Martin is amazing...im constantly blown away...

[@rachmonte]

Martin is so real and his artistic expression is off the charts. He is a very rare talent. Love him. ❤️😎 His voice is velvet.

[@ncc1701yo]

genius. my eyes tear up -he's that good. saw him a few days ago. had never heard of him. now i just shake my head in awe

[@arkansaswookie]

On his "Live Wide Open" album with drummer Joe Bonadio, the song "Beast in Me" where his technique shines and soars. Excellent live album. One of the best musicians that I've ever seen perform live.

[@Randomalia]

1:41 - Is that guy asleep?? WTF? I'd have been grinning from ear to ear! To get a personal session from Martin Sexton is a dream.

[@lyssums]

Still over here watching this and sharing with friends. ❤🎉

[@dstempke]

I used this song as my first dance at my wedding in 2004!

[@SiggyMe]

Brilliant, combination music and sense of humor with a point. Like the pick use the fingers instead remarks, on target. Down to Earth, thoughtful, great interview. Really creative.....not gimmicky just genius!

[@jimcook9330]

I've been a HUGE fan since the 90's.

[@jimwilkey7294]

My buddy Matt Rogers just turned me on to this magic man. I’m now a fan for life!

[@richdaigle]

Dilbert gets a private concert from a musical genius ...Martin earns even more points for handling like a pro

[@dirtywaterfab1695]

that is flippin' funny!

[@tMatt5M]

This guy is like a more serious version of jack black.

[@TheScaredofsilence]

Good observation

[@maximorumba]

I made the same comparison and actually went to the comments to see if anyone also made the comparison.

[@gorgemusic]

The interviewer his too busy thinking of his next question to get excited about what is happening right in front of him.

[@gdannywatts]

Who's the freaking statue beside Martin. If this guy represents Premier Guitar he doesn't cell in his body that appreciates true talent and music. I believe if I were sitting next to one of the most creative, talented guys out there I would react in some way. Jeez.

[@seanraidley2643]

That's a little mean I think. He's probably just a quiet guy...like me. He clearly loves and respects Marty, in my opinion. I'd be devastated if I was him and read your comment.

[@fretgoodampsllc2382]

Agreed. I mean the dude's playing and singing so amazingly and emitting such joy in such a stale setting. And the interviewer just sits there straight faced. I think if he's gonna be interviewing people and having them perform he could smile or groove a bit and show some emotion. Martin's performing for a few cameras, and one person, who is a statue.

[@loosedragfilms4093]

Listen to his questions. Listen how Martin answers. Find a real problem to solve.

[@adsensedd]

Very smooth playing, love it!

[@timothydurkin6800]

Actually some are being pretty hard on the interviewer. He actually did his job, asked good questions and got out of the way. Interviewer not supposed to be part story

[@mikesharpsongs]

DO NOT MISS HIM LIVE-monstrous talent

[@Steve_9292]

Well that was great. What a talented guy.

[@davetatemusician]

Get excited purple shirt. You're sitting 2 feet away from a genius.

[@joshlegare]

lol exactly

[@kdbwiz]

Hate to see him “unexcited” - geesh

[@lyssums]

I think the interviewer did a fine job.

[@SkyBuck]

unbelievable voice

[@seanraidley2643]

5:17, he's so adorably in the stone age with technology it seems. A recording device. I saw a picture on Instagram of him with a flip phone in 2016. He's amazing.

[@TimHansenux]

What kind of magician harmonics is he doing in Glory Bound? Martin is so good live it’s crazy. I’ve seen him twice in Utah. Dude is legend!

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

Martin Sexton a Musical Genius

[@kr46]

Great Playing But the interviewer has no soul... what a hard audience no foot tapping smiling ... check pulse please..MEDICCCCCC

[@0GreenGiant0]

Pure stuff man.

[@neil12011]

Such a cool dude, it's like he wears a cloak of awesome.

[@da751]

Martin is phenomenal

[@thehitmaker]

Martin Sexton is wonderful. Check out live versions of "Hallelujah"--magical.

[@Randomalia]

Martin is so good!

[@stevedigre6467]

This is great

[@jacobbryan498]

I stopped at 2:05 after watching homeboy's straight, deadass face sit 2 feet away from Martin Sexton jamming out... SMILE ya bastard!!!

[@loosedragfilms4093]

Guess we know what doesn't get you off. How'd you wind up watching a music channel? Hand get tired?

[@manfredmelcher7803]

Love martin!~. Man with a guitar..

[@dansped]

How is this purple shirt dude keeping a straight face through this!!!! I would have fell off my chair by now!!! haha. Martin is amazing!

[@mojomania101]

Yay. ❤

[@daved7231]

Be cool to have someone passionate with a guitar kinda learning while they chat

[@GavinSteiner]

OMG! 25:21 is the best thing I have heard in my life! Lol. He's a better cymbal player than Peart!

[@TheUglyAmerican007]

Why is that 8 years ago ? That seems exactly like yesterday.

[@TheBuefurd]

Does anyone know which model he's playing? An 814ce or 816ce perhaps?

[@alvinfigueroa3144]

Anyone in 2018 still hating the interviewer?

[@seymills]

2:18 MIN...i see a small grin on the interviewer's face :) he's diggin it ! just a chill dude all around ..ha ha

[@andrewarriola6127]

Ricky Bobby on guitar is dope y'all I like his jamming for sure ;-)

[@Randomalia]

7:26 when he mentions playint with Frampton....here's the video GUZrl28zyOo

[@talkinglens1]

Superb and JASSY

[@dereknueveuno]

Man, i really need to learn to walk in between chords

[@peterdvideos]

Entertaining, nice guitar playing, but especially great voice.

[@shakinthebushboss]

First two CD's I owned' was Martin Sexton's. Dumb idiot I was didn't even know he was my age back in '98 when someone asked me to set up the lights in a crappy little theater for him. Bought the CD's during the intermission. Didn't even have a CD player. Music pulled me out of the rock I was dug under.

[@TheBandFake]

12 siblings? I guess you could say the Sextons had tons of sex. ... That went a lot better in my head.

[@TheBandFake]

But that playing though.

[@rideforrestride]

Could purple shirt guy be any more serious... he is sitting with martin watching magic happen he is like meh... Wait he raised his eyebrow

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

Who thought it was a good idea to interview a Genius with a Bland, Monotone , Robot?

[@ASHSRV]

sorry, just watched 3 minuets of this video and the presenter shows no emotion to what martin just did!!!!!! Blown away again :)

[@buckybucky8596]

"..... they stay with me". There's a reason for that . :)

[@seymills]

ah man he is awesome....check out his sugar coating album...a gem of an album.....

[@keelyburns1092]

HOW DOES THE HOAST NOT MOVE TO THE BEAT......FUN GUY...RIGHT

[@Stratomacaster]

He plays pretty well considering Charlie bit his finger...

[@marcusistocks4822]

19:19 .... personal reference

[@garretmeyercurtis]

this dude is so sterile. martin is a god.

[@joelmiddaugh8229]

And still 5 dislikes...:(

[@pbaruch]

Whoa!!! So blaze purple shirt!!! You should be freaking jumping out of your SKIN!

[@fatdogtavern]

Love Martin's responses, but the interviewer is a unemotional dork!

[@boocho1]

..Shout out to Bratt, VT....

[@dukegreened]

Hey Premier, that interviewer was an insult to the caliber of human Martin is. You guys are corporate zombies

[@ou82kitkats]

Be proud this is Democrat!!

[@andrewarriola6127]

Ricky Bobby on guitar is dope y'all I like his jamming for sure ;-)
