Martin Taylor and Earl Klugh - Fingerstyle Guitar Lessons

[@MaguireGuitar]

Klugh was an inspiration to me in 1976 and he still is! A kid from inner city Detroit learned to play such sweet jazz and write such great guitar music!! Thank you God for Earl Klugh!!

[@TeleJazzer]

Awesome. It's not too often that a Jazz guitar and nylon strung guitar go well together. Simply beautiful.

[@JB-se2ef]

Brilliant, seen you live solo, in England and Poland even had the the privilege of meeting you at a concert in Poland. Can never get enough of your music. All the best Martin 🎼🎶

[@letssharejazz6288]

Two great musicians. The best of the best

[@SuperMIKEFREE]

I was very lucky to be in the front row seats of the Ulster Hall Belfast 2nd March 2013 to watch two of the greatest guitarist's to walk the face of this earth. Oddly enough, you could not meet anyone more pleasant or down to earth than Tommy Emmanuel & Martin Taylor,the word MAGIC comes to mined, although we all this comes from HARD WORK something both these men have never been shy of.

[@LewisCannonMusic]

martin taylor has TECHNIQUE coming out of his TECHNIQUE! not only are his lines fresh and permanently exciting, he executes them like the boss

[@AuSableBrownie]

Beautiful duet. Lovely, smashing! Both true masters of their instruments.

[@Gunnabee]

facinating negotiation of rythm and tempo going on between them, it kind of never gets resolved which makes it even better

[@conradopaulinoguitar]

I love Earl Klugh I love Martin Taylor great musicians!

[@brankosvil568]

Perfect!!! Love it!! Once travelled all the way from London to Indianapolis to see Earl play! Always been a really huge fan and love his music. Great footage!!!

Lovely to hear you two playing together! And great convo with Earl!

[@dingoswamphead]

Great to hear two such sensitive souls really listening to each other and 'playing together'.

[@CraigRelyea]

Brilliant -- wonderful music being made here by both of you. Thanks for posting, what a treasure!

[@shlomorabenovets4709]

Stumbled upon Earl at a small club in Ann Arbor MIchigan in 1973. coming from a Rock Blues pentatonic approach. I was floored at his harmonic complexity and flawless technique. It was an unknown universe of which I had never ventured into. He would have been about 20 yrs old. I got a chance to personally thank him 45 yrs latwer when he performed at the Blue Note in Honolulu. Mahalo Earl!

[@GuillermoGarciaAr]

Earl is a great guitar player!

[@dexblue]

Thank you for posting this ... great playing guys ... we love you!

[@josemolina959]

Thank you Mr. Taylor. Earl Klugh inspired me to play the acoustic guitar. First time I heard Earl Klugh was in 1982 and I saw him three straight years at the same place, The Circle Star in San Carlos, CA.

[@kevc-69-]

I truly love these videos Martin, very informative and a joy to watch. I wish you would do a quick version of Danny Boy that you did for a magazine years ago. I managed two bars but I think im ready to tackle all of it now. Keep up the great work, it's inspiring.

[@geoffmenzer]

The song is I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE from GUYS AND DOLLS written by Frank Loesser.

[@niajenkins3583]

Just gorgeous ❤such a privilege to listen xx

[@emiliodiazmusic]

very nice, two guitar masters!!!

[@herrysantoso2523]

both of you are AWESOME!!

[@MrJimzovich]

Just beautiful.

[@ukulelechriswilson]

Thank You so much. excellent. Very nice lincks.

[@2thGuy123]

Been a Klugh fan since the late 70's. Have seen him live many times. He seems to have disappeared over the last 3-4 years. Can't seem to find any information. Anyone know his status?

[@giordanopagotto7940]

same here, I've been looking for any info but can't find anything!

[@changes12]

for those saying that Martins guitar is too loud, in this youtube video this maybe the case but in the original and whole clip on his website MTGA his part is at a lower level. I think it is simply down to whoever re-encoded the clip for youtube

[@MultiBEATA]

thats so fantastic ..Martin..and Earl ..great players

[@boreed5734]

George Benson said in 1987 that he believes in every note Earl plays, high praise from a another master guitarist.

[@abuyco]

Listening to Earl's solo on this one, I believe in every note Earl plays (beautiful and tasty note choices)! But, unfortunately, I can't say I'm a master guitarist like George Benson.

[@boreed5734]

@@abuyco I understand.

[@MaguireGuitar]

Benson had Klugh play on one of his albums when Klugh was 19 years old!! How did he get so good and learn so much at such a young age?!? Just genius!

[@boreed5734]

@@MaguireGuitar true

[@springertube]

​@@MaguireGuitar don't forget their joint "Collaboration" album (1987) as well as their tour of that - Japan and North Sea videos on YT.

[@ernestqueen1643]

Great playing!

[@clancyconlin2760]

What's the tune in the intro? Very nice tone

[@donmilland7606]

two of my favorites! wow!

They know what to play and where to play it. Excellent.

[@ProGuitarTuition]

Lovely playing, time to pop on the site again I think. Will42

[@Pan3405]

I love the fragile sound of the classic guitar!!

[@uneedtherapy42]

Earl is a zen master on nylon strings... good lord do I love his sound

[@andreasfetzer7559]

Wonderful

[@nomorebl]

Thank you!!

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Something about the nylon string and it’s richness, is relaxing : )

[@silver10gold]

Great playing by two guitar legends, I wish Earl was louder or that Martin was playing more softly.

[@simba3474]

Oh lord it's so beautiful

[@pencap23]

unreal. beautiful music.

[@marcoshenrique7303]

Realy, great. Earl Klugh plays in wonderlands.

[@murraykuun6009]

[@Octoguitarian70]

This is heaven right here.

[@fusion-music]

Very Nice indeed. Inspiring!

[@douskara]

Fantastic!!!

[@MalTomlin]

First saw Klugh at a tiny Club in Seattle-backing George Benson. He was special when he was still a puppy.

[@clifflisette]

Wonderful! I really like it gentlemen.

[@guitarplayer8627]

LOVE THIS FINE MUSIK.

[@ojnabsekil6531]

Gotta love Earl Klugh🎸

[@jazz1bro]

Great Playing! Hey Martin..we just met at NAAM a few days ago!

[@juangenesyjazz]

Excelentes !! Buen gusto!! Sutileza !!

[@taildragger53]

@MML622 Ah yes, from 9 mins 20 secs it's Martin's own tune called "Chez Fernand"" which is on the "Spirit Of Django"CD. The name is attached to the cafe that Django Reinhardt frequented.

[@mar-ho8bo]

Bravo!!!

[@LeeMitchellAcoustic]

You're right Jessica. Martin's a tad too high on the volume for me too...(:-)

[@neilcrowesongs9768]

Humble masters

[@enfocado1]

Dos genios en acción

[@KenjiMancini]

This makes me feel happy~

[@donmilland7606]

I would love Benson to join them. This is the first time I seeing Martin play with a plectrum

[@gabri3l367]

Due grandi della chitarra mondiale ,Gusto , feeling , swing e bei suoni con grande interplay.

[@christianrosenberg2828]

Fantastico!!!❤❤❤

[@MauriceJudge1]

both guitars are plugged in.They mention it.Earl has a strap pin socket.The balance is not an issue to me.Maybe the softness of the nylon string..

[@jasminetomca]

'Martin Taylor' has to be the best name ever for a guitar player....

[@jarrilaurila]

Nice little conversation between two masters.

[@TheJaayys]

Guys, what song were they jamming to?

[@lionelmandela4367]

Hi Martin I'd really like to know how people improvise those kind of voicing. Where should i start really i know a couple of jazz chords but improvising is one of my greatest problems. I need help.

[@gerardderlet]

superbes guitaristes !! Que du bonheur

[@gannonb4u]

"Long Ago and Far Away" by Kern/Gerswin

[@merveilmeok2416]

I am almost 57 years old and would like to know how much practice (or how long) it takes to master playing guitar at an "OK" level, that is being able to replicate some of the easiest songs. Thanks.

[@captainjay9843]

At least 3 to 4 years

[@captainjay9843]

Do you want to solo a song or just play a few chords? it is totally different

[@merveilmeok2416]

+Jay Lau - For now just a few chords but competently. Thanks for answering my question!

[@captainjay9843]

+Merveil Meok That only takes two years

[@einc70]

+Merveil Meok I would say practice and how much time you want to put in. But most important, the ear. Practice the ear. Going over the changes, learn at least the basic scales majors, minors, 6th, 7th, 5th, 9th.

[@makelyaabaisa3135]

Beautiful People❤❤

[@gtrrobster]

Wow! just lookng at the opening clip of EK. What is the name of that tune? Is it a standard?

[@kobanic]

wonderfullll....

[@c8tdawwg]

I should know this but does anyone of you guys know the title to this song? Thanks...

[@Qpidon]

Exquisite Video: thank you for this!

[@기타쌤]

I read that the legendary and writing guitarist.

[@dhikayudhaperdana8161]

Mr Earl Klugh just used ordinary nylon string acoustic guitar with little fret, but he played it in extra ordinary way, but Martin is also my fav guitarist

[@matonguitar]

CLASS!!!!!!!

[@gabri3l367]

Bel duetto con grande gusto.

[@earlsgirlblack]

Brilliant and just so tasty.. Make me so very happy .. Thank you fellas.

[@meow-ge7xk]

Do they have an album together? It's great when the masters playing music, they're just playing!

[@rlkguitar]

hi guys! someone can tell me pls what kind of amp using Martin here? thanks

[@kerrykrishna]

@ GigglingGirI , what we are hearing in the vid, is certainly not what they were hearing while they were playing. This is playback on two channels and whoever did the vid itself just had the electric turned up too loud. Actually quite a bit too loud to my ears also.

[@knucklesprayer]

Maybe someone know what guitar had Earl?

[@Boblw56]

It might be McGill, one of his favs.

[@LauraMooCow315sDad]

+knucklesprayer I left the company but stayed friends with Earl to this day, but in the 80's/90's he took a liking to high-end serious Classics, Ruck, Rubio, Hauser, name it. Had a little 'Salon' in town here for buy, sell trade...So, could be any one of those, but bet it's a costly one haha...FS

[@knucklesprayer]

Thank guys! Maybe i'm more interested in the preamp or mic in his guitar sounds so good!

[@MultiBEATA]

very nice good .........

[@DizzyKrissi]

Wow, Earl Klugh looks so young.

[@fishbrehth]

you can bet on a man named after two of the best guitar makers will love the guitar

[@colliedogboy]

I agree with you--they should have backed down the electric guitar about 6dB.

[@JamesW225]

2 respected players among musicians. Peer respect is more valuable than public fMe

[@LauraMooCow315sDad]

anybody know the name of the opening song ?

[@jkip44]

+Fred Sanderson I've Never Been In Love Before from "Guys and Dolls" .

[@LauraMooCow315sDad]

wow, thanks...take a cigar out of petty cash ...thank you...

[@LauraMooCow315sDad]

***** Thanks, man...I woulda known MIV, jkip44 said INBILB pretty sure that's it...^^^

[@LauraMooCow315sDad]

Thanks you guys...

[@kasperm.r.guldberg7354]

What's the name of the tune?

[@kasperm.r.guldberg7354]

Is it "I've never been in love before"?

[@howardumansky816]

K. R. G. Yes. “I’ve never been in love before” from the Broadway show Guys and Dolls. What a pairing of great song and great guitarists
