Georgia On My Mind - Martin Taylor [S001] 

My favourite standard played by my favourite jazz guitarist. That's happiness.

I remember when you did this piece (it was maybe about four or five minutes long) for *Guitar Techniques magazine* . It must have been from one of the 1999 editions, possibly 2000. It stands out as one of my favourite solo guitar recordings. Very relaxing, melancholic, and helps give me a little wry smile now that I'm getting older. Makes me more appreciative of what I have (a beautiful wife, a nice new house to live in). Thank you for this composition Martin.

Absolutely wonderful version of Georgia On My Mind. Thank You very much for the beautiful post.

Superb musicianship as always! Beautiful tone and execution! And a marvelous teacher - Martin Taylor.

What a beautiful performance, there is so much soul coming out of those strings.... just breathtaking. Bravo.

Thank you Martin, as always such a pleasure to listen to you. You are without doubt a light in this time of darkness. Stay well.

And...smile. The world needs people like you to make music like this more than ever.

Martin this is what the world needs right now, beautiful music. I really hope we still get to meet in September at your camp. Please keep it up - we need you! Cheers.

So so good. I’ve loved this rendition of yours from your 1997 album for 15+ years now. So tasteful and skilled. Beautiful

I once saw Mr. Taylor in concert in Montreal, Québec, and it was so amazing. He's one of the best guitar player I ever known. I thank him for all the marvellous music he puts on line !

What amazing playing ... I came to this via Martin's conversation with Stephane Grappelli ... such joy to find people with this level of talent who are so modest and so committed to inspiring other people!

Having to stop indoors and wondering what to do... suddenly 12.58 minutes of pure genius presented itself. Thank you sir! 🙂🎸🎵🎶🎵❤👏👏👏👍

Lush and seemingly Zen-like mastery. There's so much in there. I could listen all day. Thank you.

You are a true artist, Martin Taylor! Thank you for this beautiful rendition.

Absolutely the best! Thank you so much, Maestro Taylor!

This is your signature thing. I really enjoy it. Nobody plays it like you. Gospel yet jazzy.

The blessing of music ... ! Thank you Martin and stay safe and healthy. 😊

There is an unbelievable breath in this interpretation, unique. I love it. My style. Place to breath.

Beautiful and funky - never thought of playing this number in E, but very appropriate for a bluesy version...thanks so much

Outstanding!!! No one plays this beautiful song solo like you do! I have several of your videos, and the first time I heard you play this I was mesmerized! Still trying to learn it, and do my poor-man Martin Taylor imitation of it. God bless you, and I hope that someday you can back to San Diego, CA. again. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎵🎸🙏🏼🎵🎶🎼

Like a beautiful Spring day!!! Really great guitar playing here.

What a joy to not only listen, but watch you as well!

Amazing as always Martin! I hope you James and your families are all doing well during this crazy time.

Martin Taylor......great guitar player. Always a pleasure to listen to you!

I can't listen to this without smiling....and I'm only 90 seconds in. Thank you Martin.

I love the bass line in your tunes. This song is priceless. Thanks for the treat. I'm a newbie at 76, bought one of your instruction books, very helpful. ciao.

I hope you do more of these! Great playing and very interesting insights and stories :D

thank you so much for uploading! equisite audio quality and exceptional playing of this beautifull song!

Just the greatest ....I once asked the great Jim Mullen what he thought of Martins playing ...he replied "Martin's a monster" there you have it ..from one great guitarist to another!!!!!

Sheer beauty and virtuosity. Thank you Martin.

great version Martin, I love it. Thank you so much for sharing!

Lost for words .What can be said about Martins masterful playing .

Dear Martin, I learned to play this song years ago after hearing you play it in concert. Loved this version! I’d like to see one song on each of those beautiful guitars behind you! Thanks again!

Simply great Martin!!! God bless you!

Thank you for a delightful performance and commentary.

Stunning performance and beautiful tone to boot 🎸🎶👍

Great video brother, nice vibe, great quality, sound and all, thank you.

Dear Sir, i wish i could explain to you how much your music motivates me and brings so much peace to my life. Thank you very much. I really hope to attend one of your retreats someday.

Great Great Great master !! You're a number one!!

One of my fav tunes of all time. You’re take beautiful and soothing 🤘🏼🌹

Why am I listening to this over and over again?

Martin In this days of crisis cause by Covid 19 you are an oasis of joy with tremendus impact to me and those who love Guitar and Jazz ,God bless you

You can tell you gave a lifetime of ideas in this piece. Some of them so subtle, natural by amazing. Never forget the first time I met you with my wife. I think you had the same hair styles at the time and were using all 16 fingers. Georgie Fame was a pleasant surprise for my wife & friends who I brought along. Now I think I'm going to listen to this again. It is stunning - but there are no surprises there. Thanks for your methodology in teaching too. Beautifully shot and edited.

your playing is tasteful and impeccable - thank you, my friend

Georgia is my second home. I love this song and you did a great version

How many “holy shit” moments can you pack into one song? Wow. There were times I was looking for the “second” and “third” guitarists. Busting out some superb blues licks in amongst all the jazz.

Just wonderfull and the best version I've ever heard.

melody lovely throughout, thank you.. 🎸😎

Beautiful. Bravo!

Wonderful and inspiring as always Martin! Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA

Very beautiful! This is really making me consider the ArtistWork lessons. Thanks for the wonderful music, Martin

Thank you as always masterful joyful musical brilliance.

Great rendition of the song. Another Hoagie Carmichael story, my first exposure to his work was when I was a wee lad maybe 5 years old. He was a character on “The Flintstones” and played on a Stoneway piano. Thanks

Great Sir Martin Awesome Peace!

Thanks for that masterpiece mr.Taylor. I'm working on a transcription of this video to then put my style over it. Greetings from Brazil

A great pleasure to listen to this; I imagine a Martin Taylor and John Lee Hooker duo!

Hello Martin! I have followed your playing for a few decades now. Always considered you, as with your close friend Tommy E, as the cream on top of a bunch of great players. Your style is so smooth and flowing. I took lessons back in the early 70s with Harry Leahy in New Jersey, and again 20 years after his passing with his best student at the time. Walt Bibinger. Who has your intonations style. So, after seeing this video, of which I have seen you play it numerous ways, will be on my list to work on in these times of laying around the shanty! Hope all is well.

I grew up listening to your song True after seeing you in person in South Korea. Sir, I am in love with your cover of Gerogia On My Mind :)

Love that mini body guitar sounds sweet!

WOW!! Yes sir, that was so delicious for the ears. You have a new subscriber and fan. Thank you

Hi, It is one of the best tones i’ve ever heard ...

Pardon the expletives I just blurted out but I just listened to the first minute and am blown away!!!

Fantastico! Bravissimo!

Great playing there Martin..

Best version ever!!

Really embracing the whole 'Colonel' thing with that facial hair haha. So good btw. Sounding wonderful.

this is very nice indeed!

great....... thank you so much

awesome martin!
