Wayfaring Stranger - fingerstyle guitar

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

Showing how it's done once again! Can't get enough of your playing, your articulation is just exquisite!

[@tallstrom]

+James Bartholomew Thank you, glad you like it James!

[@martinlindsay5880]

I must thank you for the Wayfaring Stranger backing track you sent me a few weeks ago. You're such a talent and I envy you. To take an old folk song like that and turn it into a modern acoustic classic is really something.

[@christianlassen3948]

Impeccable taste in songs, guitars and amps... long may you run !!!

[@atyourserviceable]

Martin you just love to take me from reality and take me into the windows of my mind....simply outstanding in every way

[@patberning]

Thank you, Martin. I've been playing and singing this song for 40 years and I've seldom heard it better!

[@GraceJones-kt7ck]

Love the shirt besides your incredible playing.

[@johnlind5819]

Martin, I thought I had viewed all of your videos but I somehow missed this one. This is absolutely wonderful and fun! Great job. Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA

[@World-as-i-c-it]

Always loved this song.

[@j.s.46]

Thank you again for more outstanding music. I love your material, and the covers you've done. I'm starting to fill my library from itunes

[@soultylive]

So much in that interpretation, each single note just make sense. BB King and Knofler have that very unique capability. Awsome rendition Martin!

[@tallstrom]

Thank you for listening and the kind words :)

[@peterjongsma2754]

The worlds a better place. Thank you.Your playing is so original.

[@tallstrom]

Thank you Peter!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Wonderful playing. Gorgeous sound

[@ronblack45]

Another home run Martin my brother. I just love your smooth approach and your comfort along with a seamless 6th sense about what and where to go. Couple all of that with your feeling you have and it is perfect. Thank you so much for being public with your efforts. I wish we were neighbors so we could play side by side. Peace brother. thanks again.

[@tallstrom]

+ronblack45 Thank you so much for the very kind words!

[@BanjoBen]

Excellent, Martin!

[@tallstrom]

+Banjo Ben Clark Thanks Ben!

[@AlOwens]

I have never heard this arranged better. Your tone is magnificent. al

[@tallstrom]

+Al Owens (Guitarist) Thank you Al! Btw, I think the Åstrand works especially well for lower open tunings, like here DADGAD.

[@AlOwens]

Martin Tallstrom I went to your website and bought the score. Excellent job on the transcription!! That guitar sounds good in any tuning :-)

[@tallstrom]

+Al Owens (Guitarist) Oh, thank you very much! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@JulienPaarmann]

James brought me here and this piece is absolutely beautiful! I really could listen to this all day.. Hope to see more of you :)

[@shirleydouglas5408]

Fantastic Martin, love it x

[@6stringwood]

Hey Martin, As always outstanding! You are right that amp behind you puts out an amazing crystal sound. I have not heard a Tele sound like an acoustic until now. Great back ground instrument addition as well. Keep in touch! Your Friend Jim

[@tallstrom]

+Jim McFalls Thank you Jim :)

[@Bernd_Boeckmann]

So cool, Martin!

[@miaris]

Very cool!

[@Junkie4Beauty]

I'm in love 😍

[@jakemargolies]

Awesome arrangement, for some reason really reminds me of "Man of Constant Sorrow"

[@notpopebuthope]

... love it !! ... GREAT HAPPENING in my ear-phones !! SALUT !!

[@jackhudsonvideo]

Stunning. The feel, emotion, light, shade and space you achieve; you have a large heart Mr Tallstrom. Thank you. I'm betting you have a dobro and a weissenborn, too?

[@tallstrom]

Thank you! Dobro yes, Weissenborn no. But, I´d sure like one! Christmas gift, anyone? ;)

[@CurtisThorpe]

Thanks Martin, Inspiring.

[@simonross6201]

outstanding !

[@ag_guitarist]

Sound super!

[@8096446]

Less is often more and this is a brilliant example.

[@geetarwanabe]

Amazing!

[@MirekSadowski]

still you surprise, amazing

[@marvinsturgill985]

Martin, you should be wearing a leash for playing so well... God bless you brother...

[@Gamerooster51]

Great Martin!! Do you use pickups in your acoustics?

[@codycore]

this is unbelievable

[@wolverine7196]

Martin, As always....great tone & execution.... Curious......what guitarists are your favorites....... Regards, Art

[@tallstrom]

+Art Doyle Hi Art, thank you! Oh, I have so many... Over the years, you know, they come and go... In some kind of chronological order, starting from when I was a kid, I could mention Chuck Berry, Dave Edmunds, Eddie Van Halen, Tim Pierce, Dan Huff, Mike Landau, Paul Simon, Sonny Landreth, Göran Söllscher, Paco DeLucia, Vicente Amigo, Manolo Sanlucar, Jerry Reed, Brent Mason, Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton, Tommy Emmanuel and many more, of course. I hear great players all the time :) How ´bout you?

[@wildbillhackett]

Nice! I've got a partscaster that would be really up your alley Martin. I found a guy from Canada on eBay who has Telecaster necks 1 3/4" wide at the nut made from Rock Maple by someone in Korea. Great for fingerpicking needless to say.

[@tallstrom]

+St. Hugh Thanks! That sounds interesting... I´ll do a search! The Tele in this video actually has body and neck from Allparts, and Fender p-ups and mechanics.

[@wildbillhackett]

+Martin Tallstrom ~ I don't remember his eBay handle anymore, but he calls them "Fatboy" necks. Very inexpensive too. Around $100.

[@tallstrom]

+St. Hugh Thank you for the info!

[@jeggerraymonddizon9748]

can i have a tabs for this? ... i'll subs. for your channel

[@red_doggo7219]

DADGAD really is the daddy of all guitar tunings.

[@bobs3354]

Very nice! I also like Al Petteway’s version.

[@dixieproduction568]

Hi,great job! Can I use it in my new country short film? This is a no profit film, only for some little italian festival :) I can put your name in Credits! Thank you

[@tallstrom]

+DIXIE PRODUCTION Hi thanks, no problem, feel free to use it. If you can get me into the credits, that would be nice :) Good luck!

[@rbs7777]

It's all about the Naylor, I have one, great amps.

[@omahajack2049]

One of my favorite tunes and you performed it best of anything I've ever heard. Completely blew my away! Is that played in drop D?

[@tallstrom]

+Jack Wickes Thank you Jack! It´s in DADGAD tuning.

[@destinedtofrail]

I think you'd love Zubot and Dawson, a Canadian folk duo from the early 2000s

[@World-as-i-c-it]

Anyone out there with the tabs for this?

[@missproutproute2393]

Your fingers are... alive

[@RobinMeys]

Hey Martin ! I didn't know that traditional, but I just loved what you did with your guitar (and the percussions and the other effects too)! I really enjoyed your playing ! Subbed :p Thank you !! I'm also guitarist so if you're curious you can check out my channel :) See you !

[@tallstrom]

+Robin Meys Thank you Robin!

[@TheWindGinProject]

I was just playing this on a flute yesterday and I didn't look at your video title so when you first started playing the intro I started thinking wait a minute I think I know this tune. Ha! Check out Doc Watson singing this song when you have a chance. Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4HPfYd4adGkjrc

[@tallstrom]

+TheWindGinProject Ha, that´s cool - I´ll check it out, thanks!

[@tallstrom]

+Martin Tallstrom Hmm, video not available..?

[@TheWindGinProject]

Martin Tallstrom KZbin is weird; sorry about the link. You can find him singing it by searching Doc Watson Wayfaring Stranger. Doc was a well known & Well loved musician from the mountains of North Carolina. Boone NC. He had a haunting deep voice. He was blind. Sorry if you already know who he is.
