Chops are always great with this guy, but when I hear that voice on the radio I instantly know it's Jeff. A truly unique Canadian talent. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live (especially with his Tea Party friends), make the effort ..... you won't be disappointed.
Amazing!! as a teenager in the 90's I was awestruck of the amazing sounds he was creating with a guitar. All a mystery back then, but over the years I learned a few tunings he used. Jeff is a truly inspirational artist, and those who have seen him perform live and listened to his(Tea Party's) albums over and over through the years continue to be inspired by his music!
Spanky Stone - right there with you! This is a Master Lesson by a seriously underrated Canadian artist - make no mistake! This series of videos has completely changed my approach and feeling about my guitars! I saw them in the Grand in Kingston - 750 seats and was blown away! Jeff - you are brilliant. Guitar tuner anyone :-)
Jeff Martin with an accoustic guitar and a bar stool...can school ANY guitarist out there...He has the knowledge...The savagery....and the tenderness....And take that america !!! he is bloody canadian!!! ive seen the tea party in a small club...seen them in a stadium...seen them 6 times in all and each and every time...They fucking delivered
the messenger,...Its something i think off one of his solo albums..this is where i thought he was selling out...cos to me...This guy was jimmy page and jim morrison wrapped up in a black leather joint...Fucking deadly....But as ive aged a bit...There IS room to be mushy.
You would think a professional guitar play would know that you should never just tune down to a key, you always go below the desired key and then tune up to it...
