The guitar is tuned in GBDGAD from low to high.

Who needs those "stinking pedals" anyway?

Great job Martin. I always enjoy your playing.

Ausgezeichnet!!

Martin, do you use along with your very accurate bar slants, really allow you to, uh.... umm... pull that off. Smile

Anyway, that was really some great playing. Thanks for posting that that.

Tschüss!

Martin, you make those string bends look easier than they are. After the last vid you posted I was messing with bending with the ring finger behind the bar and was tough to get good results. I learned immediately the importance of using the thumb to keep the entire guitar from sliding toward me.

Thanks for sharing.

Martin. the way you bend the string behind the bar is very cool. I too play squreneck, and that occured to me, but never tried because I didn't think that could work. of course it does on a roundneck....you have given me a 'go ahead' card.
nice.
