Take a look at how one of Sweden’s most enigmatic songwriters crafts layers of sonic magic with a handful of open tunings and a pile of pedals.

Don't Miss a Rundown: bit.ly/RIgRundownENL
Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man on Earth, met with Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger after his soundcheck at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. As a solo performer, Matsson needs to cover a lot of sonic territory, laying down complex tone beds to accompany his voice. He offered up a step-by-step guide to the ingredients that go into being The Tallest Man on Earth.

Matsson plays a vintage ’50s Harmony Stratotone. The Stratotone remains all stock as far as he knows and in spite of the primitive bridge, the intonation is solid.

Obviously the second tallest man on earth

@tabletop77 5 лет назад

Its an early 50s H44 Stratotone...between 52-55. Around the mid 50s the "Hershey Bar" DeArmond pickup gets a couple of vents in it. The gold ones were sold through the Aldens store chain whereas the copper ones were sold through Montgomery Ward I believe.

idk if anyone ever saw that live video of him on KEXP when there's no leaving now had just come out, but he was so quiet and nervous there and now he's so excited and happy and it makes me smile.

Saw him open for John Vanderslice at the RIP'd Cafe Eleven in St. Augustine, FL in 09. No pedalboard then. Just him, his acoustic guitar and a consummate performance. Maybe the best blind opening act I've ever seen.

This is very cool!!! I've been following The Tallest Man on Earth since his first album came out, and what an interesting journey he had so far. Personally I don't think he needs that much crap on the ground but ey if it makes him happy and helps him perform, than good on ya mate. saw him play in front of a huge audience, totally owning it, with nothing but 1 or 2 acoustics only playing an electric for the encore. it was MAGIC.

@jacttanna2353 5 лет назад

Stratatone 44s are great. Rick Holmstrom played one for most of his time with Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers during the time when they were winning best blues band of the year - year after year. Holmstrom also used a big hollow body Harmony. Jr Watson has some Stratatones also. They were so cheap back in the day that they both bought enough of them to take out the pickup from one and add it to another to create a two pickup version. Holmstrom plays Telecasters now, but Watson still uses his a lot. There are RU-vid clips of both of them. Well worth watching. Howlin' Wolf also played a 44. John Hammond Jr too.

@bobbyberetta4206 5 лет назад

BrianSmithMusic I know exactly what you mean, that Gretsch is definitely on my list.

@colinpierchala2774 Месяц назад

Not the tallest man in the room. But damn, he is a guy who can make a cohesive sound whether he plays an early electric or modern acoustic. None of it matters when one writes songs like he does. He also speaks like he grew up in the states. This guy manipulates sound and music like a virtuosic cuttle fish, with an ear for every tuning and a feel for what we want. An absolute genius however you view him. Id be unsurprised if he joined Brian May in astrophysics as a side project. But please dont ever stop 😢

@xIgnusx1 4 года назад

I’m curious, how do you split your signal into two channels? I had never heard of that before.

@miserableunoriginal 4 года назад

Nathan Sheppard you can buy an a/b box that will split one line out into two, I used to have one and run one to a fender hot rod Deville and the other into a Marshall jcm900 half stack. They’re super handy because you can either switch to one or the other or you can have the signal go into both simultaneously.

@lacadam 5 лет назад

Can someone explain to me like I'm a five-year-old what is the point two amps? I've even seen him live, it's not like i hear different things coming out of different speakers.

@twinframes5035 5 лет назад

Probably a wet-dry. One amp is probably just the guitar, the other has all the reverb, delay, and other effects and the soundperson blends the two signals so the original signal doesn't get washed out.

@twinframes5035 5 лет назад

Just kidding, he said he runs in stereo. The stereo outs of his pedals will go to each amp and his soundperson will pan the signals going out to the house to create a big, wide sound.

@Jo3sX 5 лет назад

Many pedals, especially delay and reverb are designed to output in stereo for a wider sound. Same way you listen to stereo speakers or headphones. You're not hearing the exact same thing in both ears most of the time. Sure you can listen to a mono recording through two headphones or speakers, but you'll notice it sounds quite flat. Another way to imagine this might be going to the cinema and the same sound coming out of every speaker.
