    Wow, that is good.  Martin Tallstrom now added to my good listening/viewing and "must try and learn but most likely never will" lists.

    Some time back in the 80s when you could go to the council library and borrow vinyl LPs as well as books, I borrowed an LP of Marcel Dadi playing all the old classics like Windy and Warm, Nine Pound Hammer, Drive In, etc and it came with a book of tablature for all the songs.  I did manage to play a few of the slower ones fairly well after hours of practice, but I found it incredibly difficult to coordinate my thumb to play constantly and steadily through all the intricate melody picking on the faster tempo songs.  Like a lot of rudiments on the guitar, these guys must have practiced for so many hours that the thumb works on autopilot.

    ha - Le Derviche Tourneur  was one of the first pieces I learnt as a teenager (well a "version" of it ) plenty of Tourneur but not so much Derviche  =) 

    sounds best capod on the 7th (and a bit easier to play)

    That's VERY good.

    Both  FMB and DB are harder to do on acoustic guitar in EADGBE than on a five-string banjo in GDGBD.

    :)

    :)

    For FMB Tallstrom has tuned down the 5th string to G, but he uses standard tuning for DB.
    For anyone interested in the challenge, notes/tabs for his version of FMB are available for free download on his homepage.

    And if you think the guitar in the video sounds good the luthier has announced on Facebook he will have a "twin sister" built in 2003 coming up for sale any day now.

    My fave right now is Stephen Wake. Recently did a piece after his brother's passing which is lovely.

    He's of the type where you completely admire his brilliant talent on a guitar but dont really care for what he's playing.

    I'm not being argumentative (honest!)...but have you watched anything else from his channel?
    That's the first bit of bluegrass I've seen him play!

    Here's some tasty electric playing:


    He seems to have cleared down his channel a bit...I'm sure there was some more rock/fusiony electric stuff ;-/

    Do you play electrics still? I am loathe to sell as th PRS especially is a limited edition but I've zero desire to just play lead lines or play electric in a band again. 

    I've changed 100% - I don't even like using a pick anymore. It's all about one man, acoustic fingerstyle and a bit of singing. There's so much to it - chordal thinking instead of scalar is 100% the way. And my fave guitar is my cheapest - the Larrivee OM-02 which has aged well (sound has just gotten better) - I see they're £1800+ now!

    No,but like I said I was no fan of the genre. He is obviously a brilliant musician but I have no intention of stressing over being light years behind yet another guitarist! I have 9 year old Korean players on youtube who can already make me feel like I should avoid any type of musical hobby at all!

    yes mate - sold a couple and got a couple  since we probably last spoke  - dont sell all your gear,  there will come a day when you actually "need" to rawk out through an amp............... its therapy  =)     

    these days Im kind of 90% acoustic  10% leccy,  mostly cos playing through the amp drives one of me dogs nuts
