Loef fanfret guitar - playing a bit of Gentle On My Mind

[@robertelliott9686]

To martin… from Robert … ty for the beautiful sound on my beautiful guitar from Olav. Nobody does it better, what a special favor… much success on tour!😎🌴

[@tallstrom]

Hey Robert, nice to hear from you! Thanks for the opportunity to try your sweet guitar. I really enjoyed playing it. I hope you will too 🤗

[@tallstrom]

Someone asked below which woods are used in this build..? Really beautiful.

[@robertelliott9686]

@@tallstrom hello again! Yes… the best Alpine Spruce that was heat treated for the top, & Black Limba for the back&sides. I chose this one, for the extra colors in the grain for the Limba. Thx again for the sounds of music!

[@tallstrom]

@@robertelliott9686 Thank you! It looks great :)

[@christineuniversexy]

@@robertelliott9686 Beautiful guitar. Congrats. That stash of black limba O Loef had/has was really nice. What does it sound like just strumming on the couch?

[@John-wr6yo]

Most unique fingerstylist ever. His technique is like silk,and flows like rippling water. Evidently the man has a superb ear for styling,and arrangement. Just so good.

[@knpepper6409]

Stunning skills, beautiful layers of harmonised melody, you never disappoint 😮

[@lkronquist]

Loef guitars are made just a few miles south of where my dad grew up in Finland in the early 1900's. They are marvelous works of art.

[@stevewaller7]

Such a gift. Brightens my day. I am not a musician but I listen.

[@astralionica]

Just great!

[@SanfordllHough]

Incredible version of Gentle On My Mind. Thank you

[@mandohat]

Beautiful playing, subtle track. Love the John Hartford tune

[@FrancisFurtak]

Beautiful!

[@NeilWickerMusic]

The legend is back! 🙌

[@malcolmbenn1051]

Welcome back Martin, you've been missed. Wonderful ... a little bit country with a few jazz elements.

[@jerryoutlaw3396]

So sweet. Thank you Martin.

[@patberning]

So good to hear you play again !

[@GQJ]

What a beautiful guitar for a beautiful guitar playing too 👍

[@trevorsneath4665]

So very nice to see your face and to hear your playing again Martin. I hope your absence just means your getting a lot of work. Such a beautiful touch. And yes, the guitar sounds very nice 🙂

[@cooltango6383]

So beautiful❤❤❤ when you will be finish this song. Looking forward on this.

[@andersestes]

Great playing and great MUSIC. Just stumbled upon this. This speaks to me much more than other guitargymnasts I see on KZbin.

[@dejablueguitar]

One of THEE MASTERS of tone and dynamics… Martin Tallstrom!! 😎👍

[@anitajohannadrost]

Love the sound 🥰😁🍀

[@notpopebuthope]

Beautiful guitar

[@maton444]

beutiful song. Martin

[@fritzbiederstadt4869]

I like Martins playing and playing his arrangements...Plus one can never have enough guitars. Thanks Martin!

[@mewfan84]

Incredible tones, awesome playing!

[@speedbag1]

Simply gorgeous. #MaestroGuitar

[@monkeysweeperguitar]

Your playing is so exquisite. And, to top it off, it looks insanely effortless. ♥️

[@TheBamaKid1962]

It is for him, look up some of his older videos, I never miss playing his version of Silent Night during Christmas

[@Jellybelly1955]

So much taste!

[@vent10l]

Virkelig elegangt, følsomt og smukt spillet. Flot dynamik, og man får lyst at høre det igen og igen :-) Tak fra København

[@SergeUnplugged]

Unmatched performance Martin, keep it up 👌

[@damienkwon]

my god this is so smooth.. thanks for sharing!

[@FABFOLK14]

Hello, it's really good, play and soun amazing, thanks, Fab

[@FrancisFurtak]

Wow, absolutely perfect. Your attack on the strings is so beautiful and I'm really starting to love these guitars! Keep up the great work! Please do a longer version of this song.

[@tallstrom]

Thank you for all your nice comments Francis! The Loef guitars all have a certain sound and respond very well to dynamic playing. My plan is to make a full length version of this (Gentle On My Mind). Cheers/ Martin

[@benperea8483]

Always perfect 👍👍👍👍👍

[@fritzbiederstadt4869]

Martin does it again...Thanks!! Nice guitar too...can never have enough guitars.

[@СашаКравцов-э8ш]

Как всегда, тонко и завораживающе! As always, subtle and fascinating!

[@mikkosnellman]

Vackert! Tack Martin.

[@CharfishDesign]

Good to see you!! This is lovely!

[@jeanbedard9784]

where have you been?? Your touch is just incredible Martin love the song and your sound

[@knpepper6409]

Hi from NZ, insane silky smooth skills, maybe the very best I've seen and heard........ever.

[@vespass225]

I have followed Martin for about 12 years, and listned to tons of other guitarists/musicians, and tend to agree. As a swede, I feel undeserved pride over two things in the musical world, Martin Tallström and Dirty Loops. Heavenly musicians in very diferent cathegories

[@Dracapalley]

So nice to see you and hear you play once again, Martin! Best wishes, Helen

[@TheWindGinProject]

Glad to hear you again friend.

[@StanleyFusion]

Beautiful Martin. Pleeeeease come to Holland together with Emil Ernebro to make a dream come true.

[@om-ie2fp]

He's back again😀

[@augustinparthoens]

Full of tallstromisms, and that's how we like it !

[@anderssvarenmusic]

Skön låt, Martin och som vanligt utmärkt spelat samt inspelat!👏💥🔥 Loefgitarrer låter enorm bra. Klart och distinkt ljud och har ett tydligt gensvar. Tror ägaren till gitarren är rätt nöjd med sitt köp👌😃

[@hamiltonmackenzie3340]

I absolutely love your playing, your finesse of touch and musicality, thank you xx. As a guitar lover, could I ask that you do a few more pieces stripped of the reverb and other tracks and just record the naked sound of the guitar? That would be awesome 😎

[@JohnCarty321]

I'm part of the Olav club too, wonderfull sounding guitars. best acoustic guitars in my opinion

[@whaustin]

Simply brilliant playing Martin, as always! Sure the guitar sound is beautiful but you should be holding up those incredible hands!

[@jamesha175]

that sounds very nice

[@RussellSturgill-hs7qm]

One my favorites...listen to Marty Robbins: Ribbon of Darkness...good job, good man..keep picking!

[@danik246]

ОГРОМНОЕ ВАМ СПАСИБО. БОЛЬШЕ ЖИВОЙ МУЗЫКИ. Я очень жду ваших прямых эфиров!!!!

[@t0rn0t]

и Я тоже!

[@markelovett]

Wow!

[@TheBamaKid1962]

We've missed your beautiful artistry Martin! And congrats on not using fingerpicks!!!!

[@konstantes]

Megasweet😊🍓

[@marciefree]

Sooo cool. ❤❤❤

[@tallstrom]

Thank you Marcie! Hang on a minute, are you possibly a great singer!? Hats off :) Cheers/ Martin

[@marciefree]

@@tallstrom No way!!!! There’s no way you could know who I am. I always tell my Spanish speaking fans, “Yo soy el Rey Kobra” ha! 😄. Yes it’s me. I’m in love with your playing. xoxoxoxo m. ❤️❤️🥰. And Loef guitars. Bruce GOWDY told me about them and I was listening to them on KZbin. Too cool Martin!!

[@marciefree]

@@tallstrom but I’m afraid to take my hat off cuz I’ll have “hat hair”. 😂😅😅🤣 and look all ugly and shit.

[@tallstrom]

@@marciefree Wow, that´s great! Back in the day, when I was playing mostly electric, I was really into AOR/ hard rock. Unfortunately, never found a voice of my own, or a singer like you :) So, nothing ever materialised on that front... Yeah, the Loef guitars have a lot of personality, brilliance, beauty and sustain. I have six(!) :) Ok, you keep your hat on, and I´ll try to keep my cap on - at least you have hair 🤣

[@marciefree]

@@tallstrom oh my!!! I love it Martin. ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰. The universe has a plan and a gorgeous little cubby hole for us all. If we take time to tune in and hear the message. 🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍.

[@christineuniversexy]

Beautiful! It's unreal but how does it sound with just the guitar played by someone who does not have all that equipment & processing. Some of us like to hear just the guitar too.

[@lesj8384]

WOW! SO good Martin. Beautiful playing as always and amazing arrangement. Thanks for sharing! Do you have the tab for your arrangement available for purchase? I didn't see it on your website but would love to purchase it from you and try to learn it. Please let me know.

[@tallstrom]

Hi Les and thank you for the kind words and inquiry! Unfortunately, I don't have this tabbed out.

[@hakanaxlund7951]

Som alltid Martin underbart fint. Du kanske redan känner till Rasmussen Guitars (Lars Tholstrup Rasmussen) men om inte kolla in hans instrument. Bättre än allt annat jag spelat på. Utan konkurrens.

[@tallstrom]

Tack Håkan! Jag känner till Rasmussen men har tyvärr aldrig haft tillfälle att prova någon av hans gitarrer. Kanske ska göra ett försök att få till ett test... :)

[@borutsinigoj297]

Loef guitar 10/10 Martin 10/10 👏

[@piebag]

Your the fuckin' man Martin !!!

[@deandugas1591]

Hey wasn't Johnny Hartford great? I remember focusing on him when he played with Glen on the TV show.

[@ag_guitarist]

Beautiful music and sound! Which mic you use?

[@tallstrom]

Thanks! It´s a Rode NT2-A

[@ag_guitarist]

@@tallstrom Thank you!

[@stefansorea8175]

Hi, Martin, What Loef body model is this guitar ? OM, 000, etc? I notice it has quite a bit of depth to to the body, even if it looks like a 000.

[@tallstrom]

Hi Stefan, Mr Loef describes it as a Loef "0001" size multiscale/fanfret Guitar. 665/630 scale

[@ag_guitarist]

What is the name of this song?

[@tallstrom]

Hi Andrey, it´s Gentle On My Mind

[@qweptus]

Fortnite

[@tallstrom]

That's the stuff 😉

[@duelenigma7732]

amazing to see how economical the hands are when you are this skilled . Almost like a slow mo version . Beautiful music.
