Martin Simpson, British guitarist and singer/songwriter playing some blues with Son House's "Walking Blues". Slide guitar in open G tuning.

perhaps the finest acoustic guitarist.

Gus Glynn

Put her in G an let the good slide do the rest, so many good tunes in this tuning from trad Irish to Delta blues and all the way back home again. Knock-on vocals seal the deal, Hummin'!

I had the privilege of attending Richard Thompson's "Frets & Refrains" acoustic guitar and songwriting camp in the Catskills. I took Martin's classes, which was a real treat. He is the consummate gentleman, a virtuoso with a passion for all music, which he brought to his master classes.

I've been in a guitar seminar with him - it's a combination of flicking downward on the strings with the back of the fingernail(s)(like flicking a spitball), with the index and/or middle, and thumping the soundboard with another finger (usually the ring finger). Very similar to a combination rasgueado and golpe (tap) as done by flamenco guitarists. Do it slowly in whatever rhythmic grouping you want - triplets, etc.

Does anyone know anything about the techniques he uses there between verses where he kinda plucks and taps twice..(poor description but the best I could do) it sound like galloping...Anything about the whole technique he uses here?? Where or how to go about learning it?

I have spoken to him at different gigs.

Where did you get that from then?

I first saw Martin at the Soles arms in London. One way of learning how to play the guitar is to travel around the world. But, If you REALLY want to learn, travel around the United States Of America. Where else would you find Ramblin Jack Elliot, Earl Scruggs, Lightning Hopkins. Yep, he travelled and now we reap what he sowed. Class.
