I'm one of Martins online students. He is a wonderful and gracious individual as well as an absolutely superb artist. He has no equal.

first time in my life I've ever heard a bass solo and a changing rhythm guitar being played with a single hand, fucking amazing

[@keithmasey664]

Unbelievable that anyone could give a 'thumbs down' to such a performance! MT is a master of the art and craft of guitar

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Having read some of these comments, it’s important to understand this piece in context. This is a showpiece It’s a showpiece…he’s showing off his walking bass chops whilst playing/improvising over the top…at breakneck speed He’s not going for maximum musical content, just fireworks 💥 I’ve seen Martin live and believe me, he can swing with the best of them!

[@stevenwarner9156]

An outrageously good and musical guitarist, and a really nice down to earth guy. I've only seen him live once, but it was one of the best jazz gigs I have ever had the pleasure to attend. Hope he comes to Norway in the not too distant future. Then again, if he has a gig in Glasgow, Scotland I will need to hop over and see him with my father, for sure!

[@DoctorDave5]

My thumb is cramping just watching this!

[@mataeusv.7955]

Damn, leave some for the rest of us!🤯🤯🤯

[@danielsanroman2294]

What he says about Art Tatum is the same thing I say about him; every time I hear him I laugh because of the absurd of his mastery on the guitar

[@p1anosteve]

As a pianist myself I've always thought his playing is related to solo piano in approach, and here he confirms it. I guess this is why I like it so much. Must take a genius though to do this.

[@tenacious645]

p1anosteve He and Tommy Emmanuel are the two big ones with a style akin to piano

[@babinm]

Oh come on there are hundreds of pianistically oriented guitarist, Jim hall, Ben monder, Jeffrey burr, Kevin Malone…….

This man is an absolute genius, the Yoda of Guitar!

7yrs ago! I remember seeing him live in NZ

[@raymondvaughan6262]

Martin one of the best jazz guitarist in the world saw him with Tony emmanuel what a show that was both joking and having fun together playing was amazing

After seeing this I think Martin is the world's best guitarist! Wow!

I feel grateful for all these saturday nights (ok these mon, tues, wed, etc.) spent rehearsing at home so I can enjoy these 5 minutes. The sad thing is that my brain likes Martin Taylor, but my heart loves Bill Frisell. You know what I mean...

[@lomate1963]

I've always wanted a beauty guitar 😉

[@raidacaipo]

How does his brain process something like that so quick?? Its fucken insane

[@jazzerson7087]

Obviously he couldn't play that straight off. A hell of a lot of thought and work went into working out the melody and bass lines. He'll have picked up the "tools" over the years, to allow him the facility to do it. He'd have started off playing it slowly, and then it's hard practice to perfect it and up to speed.

[@jlucguitar]

SUPER !!!!

Days will be sunny..............................

[@babinm]

For those of you who say it doesn't swing 1. why does it have to? Are you trying to dance to it. You should use a big band or combo or something this is virtuoso guitar playing. 2. He used to be Stephan Grappelli's guitarist the guy who along with Django invented swing.

[@josephfaison694]

Grapelli and Django invented swing? Why are you commenting authoritatively on a jazz on KZbin when you don't know anything about jazz?

[@parityviolation968]

well, swing and gypsy both spell with a 'g' ... that's easy to mix up :-)

[@Rickriquinho]

LOL They don't invented swing. Please don't be ridiculous...

[@manualvarado2212]

Swing with a guitar (?) It could be what he meant

I thought this was a guitar made by both Taylor and martin !!

[@themotiondoctor]

Martin Taylor? What’s his middle name? Gibson?

[@rlkguitar]

fantastic! here He using flatwounds?

[@manualvarado2212]

I also what to know that!

[@ZeekDuff]

I don't think so, I got a new Peerless Martin Taylor Maestro a few years ago and assuming they strung it with what he uses, I believe they were D'Addario XL .011-.050 nickel/steel round wounds. At least that's what I replaced them with & it felt the same. I want to try some more beef on the bottom, there are Slinkies .011-.054 I have that I want to try on it next. Great sounding & playing ax, needed nothing out of the box.

[@pallhe]

Unbelievable

[@manualvarado2212]

What's the name of the "master" that Mr. Taylor names at the beginning of the video? I can't understand the last name, i just know he says George. Awesome!

[@s6y9l]

ManuAlvarado22 George Van Eps

[@manualvarado2212]

Thank you so much!

[@kaskas55]

Question guys, what do you specifically call this type of playing? I only know it's Jazz. Thanks in advance.

[@manualvarado2212]

It's quite unique i guess, because of the approach he talks about at the beginning of the video. But you could find some of this in Pat Methenty's solo performances with accoustic guitar. Look for Pat Metheny live in Zwitzerland : D

[@morganwallace2873]

He's imitating stride piano, like Fats Waller for example.

[@guitargod6997]

@@manualvarado2212 Pat Metheny has praised Martin Taylor to the nth degree. Pat is an excellent composer and guitarist. He knows the guitar and a quality musician when he hears one.

What a thumb!

[@fingerhorn4]

Couldn't hear much swing here - perhaps due to the attempted speed. But heard him in an earlier clip playing Georgia - slowly - and it did swing and was wonderful.

[@pattOnTheHead]

+fingerhorn4 this particular performance may not be a swinger, but don't fall into the trap of judging a musician based on 1 performance. Especially one as technically bonkers as this. He's one of the greats, no doubt about it, and perfectly ably to swing.

[@Rickriquinho]

This is a fact: Taylor is not a great soloist.

[@guitargod6997]

@@Rickriquinho Compared to whom? Martin Taylor plays in ensembles but largely solo or acompagning a singer. Ever hear of a fellow named Stephane Grappelli? Martin played with him for decades.

[@Rickriquinho]

@@guitargod6997 Compared to any other great soloist. Joe Pass for instance.

[@guitargod6997]

@@Rickriquinho In my opinion (2 cents worth) Martin is easily on the same level as Joe Pass, whom I adore. It's not an effen' competition. Martin is extraordinarily talented as was Joe. Enjoy them both.

[@robberzon]

Ok, this man is insane. But I have to believe every single riff is just him practicing... On stage! This being said, it's awesome chord techniques, tons of counter point. It just seems extremely repetitive and gets a little out of whack a few times. Randall Dollahon from Miami U. was similar. Genius thought process. Any melody, multiple choruses of amazing chord melodies. I Saw him do Oh Danny Boy once and he played about 25 choruses sweet as can be, always fresh ideas. Bebop tempos of 200 plus are a bit silly in any context. 💊
