Martin Tallstrom - LA Blues

[@hakanaxlund4316]

I just want to say that you are dusch a great player. Never heard anyone play the acoustic guitar as well as you. Your touch, timing and overall feeling. It is just wonderful. Thank you.

[@tallstrom]

Tack så mycket Håkan :)

[@knpepper6409]

Over 50 years of listening to guitar players, I can say I doubt I've ever heard anyone with a finer technique. Total absence of string screech on a steel strung acoustic guitar, almost impossible to eliminate, but you do it. Note separation and articulation is just sublime, magnificent playing

[@tallstrom]

Thank you! I agree that technique is part of eliminating that sound, but the advent of coated strings like "Elixir strings" has also helped a lot. Cheers

[@duelenigma7732]

agreed . I have played finger style since before he was born and could not agree more

[@mattmoo1007]

You know who your playing reminds me of? NO ONE. Which is one of the reasons, and there are many, that you are a superb player and arranger.

[@tallstrom]

Thank you for those sweet words!

[@FrancisFurtak]

Such a great groove! Reminds me of when I used to live in California.

[@dvollie]

What a tasty piece of music. Love this guy's chops!

[@willpopemusic]

I keep waiting for Donald Fagen to start singing about the girls on the beach over this one. Really nice composition Martin!

[@tallstrom]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelponce7326]

Dude you are beyond words👍🔥

[@hareshsolanki555]

So Beautiful Playing..................

[@CraigRelyea]

Incredible! Bravo Martin -- beyond the brilliant nuances of your chords and (always) smooth lines, I can't help tapping my foot to this groove. I'm from LA, so I can verify the authenticity of this blues vibe! Just fantastic music. Thanks Martin!

[@RodrigoSantiago1]

[@Vreci]

[@cmakely60]

Martin, simply awesome as always. Reminds me of Larry Carlton a bit :)

[@ricksadeck]

Refreshing! Your songs are always a pleasure to listen to.

[@rollie57]

My cortisol just hits the bottom. 😊 Your music brings so much Joy! Tnx Martin!

[@mymartind35]

I have a little Roland 12 channel studio. Somehow I can't ever sound like Martin. Funny thing, no one can. He is the smoothest player I have ever seen. I love the LA vibe from this song. Excellent, as always!

[@billybobnance]

Martin, Really enjoyed this tune. Thanks for sharing.

[@virgilpope]

Superb !!!...

[@tbud3000]

very nice...cool arrangement...beautiful fingerwork

[@stevenjones6780]

I think you must really enjoy multi-embellishing your arrangements. Just the very finest I've seen...

[@tallstrom]

Thanks Steven :)

[@rbs7777]

Pure art!!! Crazy good Martin!

[@notpopebuthope]

... great pleasure to watch and listen ... SALUT! ... SOUNDS AWESOME!

[@fingerstylefan]

[@Nikos47]

Excellent Martin ! I love it !

[@flexabustbergson6141]

Wow, gotta love discovering talented dudes like this, thank you so much for your music man :)

[@RobertoDiPaola]

Great Martin like always!!!!!!

[@Bluenote2600]

Beautiful Martin. Your banjo playing really shows well with alot of those smooth riffs. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks!

[@williamstavik4276]

Hey, I just discovered you and your channel and it´s very inspiring to hear you play. Not only are you a great player but a master arranger as well. I have learned a lot just in a couple of days. Best Regards William (Norway)

[@dvollie]

Love this! Love your playing.

[@bonesbach7934]

So good.

[@sloansnelling9322]

Scary good, like everything else I have heard you do. I pick a track and put it on loop for hours while I work. It helps keep the energy positive. I'd love to hear you do Midnight At the Oasis.

[@MusicConnorThomas]

Just brilliant, I can't believe I haven't come across you earlier. One of a kind.

[@kajwilhelm]

Great tune, great playing. Snyggt!

[@tallstrom]

Kaj Frilund Tack Kaj, den här gången är det en Martin D-16GT :)

[@kajwilhelm]

Hej, ok. Fin låt.

You're incredible! So good!

[@tallstrom]

[@italianplastick4031]

Wait did you write this? Omg I'm having this at my wedding 💒❤️👍

[@manucszzz]

this is just awesome man¡

[@AlOwens]

Fantastic Martin. Without your objection I would like to share this on Facebook. Fred och hälsa, al

[@TheSacredroots]

It travels right through you Martin beautiful playing -Bob

[@dragangitara]

Perfect!

[@TimNelson]

WOW! For some reason, it seems so natural to assume that Michael McDonald would sing the vocals to this song. It requires a really skilled vocalist with groove to keep up with this masterpiece. I wonder who else could sing this?

[@Gendos62]

растёшь Мартин, я слежу за твоим правильным направлением в творчестве. Здоровья тебе желаю на многие годы.

[@PraveenSawh]

really is slick. love it :D

[@jamesgamon6457]

I love your music. At what age did you begin to play.

[@tallstrom]

+James Gamon Thank you James, I began at around 10, been playing for 30+ years

[@sloansnelling9322]

@@tallstrom I can relate, about 10 too, but even after 60 plus years what you do is still beyond my comprehension. Not my aspiration though.

[@AfricaTwin74]

Amazing !!! =)

[@erdBAERtorte]

great!

[@traderua]

BEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSTEEEEE!!!!!!

[@manriq47]

Mighty fine!

[@MrBryanGatwood]

perfect as usual :D

[@manucszzz]

shit¡¡¡ that E pentatonic thing at 0.12...could you explain or something in a video...I know is more a right hand thing...but dont get it...thanks

[@tallstrom]

manucszzz Yes, that´s a bit tricky - like you say it´s a right hand thing, unfortunately combined with a long left hand stretch :) Tab is done but not uploaded...

[@manucszzz]

ok¡¡ hope you upload it some time¡¡ thanks man¡¡

[@JohanMadsenMusic]

Great as usual ;)

[@nikandy]

Skönt groove! Nya CD:n är kanon! Ha det gott!

[@tallstrom]

Niklas Andersson Tack Niklas, allt väl!

[@nikandy]

Martin Tallstrom Jajemen! Borde ta och damma av gitarren och lira lite. Har spenderat de senaste 1-2 åren ganska intensivt med fotografi. Man blir alltid inspirerad när man hör dig lira! Ha det gott

[@chadfengel]

Nice!!

[@kajwhite]

Cool.

[@floflonan]

GREAT' TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Martin ;)

[@EvilSean62]

once again groovy stuff ... buying the CD ... its all good this ones a little more complex , nice production

[@DonMitchell50]

Love it! Martin, if you don't mind me asking, how were you listening to the backing track as you played? I don't see that you're wearing phones or buds. If you had it playing through monitors, did it bleed into your guitar track? This is a problem I have, for which I've found no acceptable solution when I'm trying to record a video while playing with a backing track.

[@tallstrom]

Don Mitchell Thanks! No problem :) The album track was recorded a while back, and I never filmed the actual recording... So, this is like a music video, I´m playing along with the finished track. It does require you to know exactly what you played, but since all my stuff is written, that´s ok :)

[@DonMitchell50]

Oh, so this is just a video to accompany your actual CD recording? Jeeze! How did you get it perfectly in sync like that?

[@tallstrom]

Ahh, it´s just sleight of hand ;)

[@AbdallaElabd]

Martin Tallstrom This is unbelievable! Wow.

[@juro804]

Nice

[@Celticsaint777]

Martin, you using the Miniflex2 mic on this recording??

[@Frankensmile]

Taxi...Spyro Gyra....a revival of sweet music. Kom och spela på No. 1 Guitar shop i Göteborg Martin.

[@雪魚姐姐]

Wow

[@_DEJA_VU]

💘

[@MarijnvdZaag]

I love your work! You really play professional grade. But most of your videos seem to have a lot of clipping. It's such a shame because for the rest it sounds fantastic.

[@MarijnvdZaag]

+Marijn van der Zaag Sorry if the problem was actually Windows or my soundcard.... because that's possible as well.

[@tallstrom]

+Marijn van der Zaag Thank you for the kind words! The audio should be pretty loud, but not clipping, in the videos. Many tracks are professionally mastered :)

[@MarijnvdZaag]

+Martin Tallstrom just confirmed that the clipping was actually my own sound problem. thanks for the reply ;) I'm using an AMD HDMI output, by the way... quite disappointing.

[@anuraggill1162]

I guess the issue in your entire life is that you can play only perfectly perfect. 👍

[@EvilSean62]

right ... thats it im buying the CD if my purchase pushes you over the edge into stardom plz keep pretending you are just as you are
