Found old original video, so here it is again in higher resolution and with audio from the "Acoustics" album. open.spotify.com/album/1Xw78n... tallstrom.com/
A great version, hard to take an upbeat song and turn up the upbeat but you nailed it. This song and your left hand really reminded me of watching Glen Campbell back in the 60's ... there weren't many guitarists then or for that matter now with that kind of four digit dexterity and seeing Glen changed my approach to getting that "pinky" involved. Beautifully played as always Martin.
Haha - this one NEVER ceases to amaze me, hoss! Martin, yours is the ABSOLUTE BEST "Freight Train" arrangement... I'll post a vid when I get it down good enough- in a couple years! 🤣 No, I've really been working on this one lately, & that intro - & just the whole thing really, is somethin' Reed would've loved! P.S. - & you make it look so easy!
@@tallstrom Sorry, but you’re wrong. Moved here when I was 19. That was 44 years ago. I’ve heard them all and played with many. You are crazy gifted and doing things I’ve never seen anyone else do, Chet was a friend. Jerry was a friend. Steve Wariner is a friend. John Knowles is a friend. I know what I’m talking about.
Super super cool my cousin told me to watch this as I am battling to play and use a thumb pick in general that was amazing cheers from Ireland my man !! Brian
Me too 😁👍 I´ve just commented on this video and then I see I´m not the only one trying to learn this haha. Did you learn it H P Petersen? I must admit I gave up :D
Hi Martin,Don here from Hamilton NZ saying that was great, Iv'e been playing for 50 years + and I still don't have a pick style as good as that,well done
Wow, great. This is one of my very first fingerpicking songs that I played. But your version ist much more komplex and sounds much more better than mine. Thank you for this . I think I have to customize my version . NObbi
Ahh, one more of those new arrangements of yours, this is so unique and utterly delightful, and pliiiis tell what keyboard you played so softly in the background!
Simply great. I've been trying for an hour to get my guitar to make that harmonica sound from the end of the song but I just can't quite get that lick down! Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA
En av mina favoritlåtar! Vilket arr: du gjort Martin!💥👋 Helt magiskt! Tror det är det bästa som finns ute på Tuben. Älskar också att spela den. 💛 Fortfarande lika bra och rolig som från början. Du är ett geni💡 TACK! för din musik och arr: och att du så generöst delar med dig!🤗👍
@@tallstrom🕵😃 Det är jag som ska tacka.🙏 Har lärt mig väldigt mycket av att lära mig dina låtar och hur du tänker när du spelar vilket lett till att jag utvecklats. Du är mycket uppskattad och omtyckt för din musik av mig men av många andra som gillar det du gör så...."Keep on picking" master!
Ciao there, i love this version, and even though i know it will take me ages to learn it id like to ask you the tab, any chance to get them?!. Ciao e grazie!
Nice one Martin... exceptional as per usual - cheers for re-posting this one. So, how’s the bit at the very end done - one from the secret archive of techniques, no doubt... lol. Keep ‘em comin’... K.
Super super good. So calm, cool and collected. And very technical and sounds great too. Was wondering why you used the capo. ? Sorry if you have addressed this elsewhere. I will check out your website. Thanks.
I smile every time I hear you play this Martin great arrangement and playing as always! I'm working on your rag tune at the moment. I've learned Chet Chat love the groove on that one. Thanks for such great guitar music!
Sir, this is wonderful. may i use this as backing music in a short paragliding video i am making? i will link back to your video in the description. many thanks in advance. Kind regards
I actually bought your tabs for this song @Martin Tallstrom :D It was the first video I ever saw on your channel 👌 (Or maybe it was the one you play on the Spanish guitar, now I think about it haha). Never learned to play it though. I guess I don't have the patience required to get to that level 🤷♂😂
Hi are the tabs that you sell for this song the exact arrangement that is being played over here? Secondly are the tabs with or without the capo? thanks
Yes, they are for this arrangement! Tabs are without capo (or you can see the capo as the 0 (zero) reference fret, like the nut). The capo only changes the key, you would still play it the same way, so to speak. Cheers/ Martin
If you like you could order the tablature from Martin's homepage just like I did and learn it from there. It's a very good and accurate tablature. I've learned the whole song by that and listening very carefully how he played. Good luck, mister!👍
I hear ya! I actually couldn´t do it either at first, but I kept trying and one day I could! So, keep trying. It´s more down to technique than one might think.
