Thank you so much!

Magical in every way. Martin's playing is a treasure!

[@MarkGuitar]

Your level of control/sensitivity on the acoustic is a rare thing

[@ForgottenCovers]

Excellent cover of a beautiful classic song! Thanks Martin!

Beautiful

[@marvinnorstrom2636]

Incredible!

[@arcain9999]

Perfect.

[@stuartstovall2849]

I go back to your albums often. Some of the most repeated in my whole library. You’re a master of playing and songwriting and arranging. The music is in you, and I find beautiful enjoyment in whatever of it finds its way out. Currently reveling in the genius of the Summer Breeze album for the who-knows-what’th time. Thank you, thank you for sharing your music, Martin

[@dbajpeyi]

Stunning as always! Question if you don't mind answering: what type of strings are on the guitar? Sound quite warm on the low end.

[@tallstrom]

Thank you! They are (old) Elixir Phosphor Bronze 012-052. I think the guitar itself is pretty warm sounding. Sitka Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides.

[@dbajpeyi]

@@tallstrom Thanks, my hands give up on 52s very quickly on my Furch OM-CM . But I recently added some 11-47 Martin Flexible core silk/phosphor and suits my weak fingers much more. Slightly quieter but I don't mind haha.

[@ricardoibarra6721]

Hola Martin, muy bello. Es con afinacion abierta ? Gracias

[@tallstrom]

Hola - si, "open D tuning"

[@CanaldoOTA]

What a beautiful playing...what a great reverb. What did you used?

[@tallstrom]

Thank you! It´s from my recording program Cakewalk Sonar, called Sonitus FX Reverb. The trick is to use a long decay reverb but keep the level on the lower side, so you mostly hear it on louder notes. Which is also another good reason for playing dynamically :)

[@CanaldoOTA]

@@tallstrom Thanks for the tips, Martin!

[@marcosgodoi5909]

Please tabs. Brazil. Here

[@brucekahn7190]

Simply beautiful Martin! I was wondering if the tab will be available for purchase? Thanks!

[@davidscott2298]

Can you call out the tuning for this please?

[@tallstrom]

Yes, it´s open D. The song is however played in the key of A, which is a bit unusual perhaps.

[@AdiHazan26]
