    There is another video of him playing this many years ago. I believe the video is titled "Masco Blues". Oh, and he was MUCH younger then! Amazing guitarist!

    how does he get such a flawless slide sound and still have a normal action to player normal fingerstyle stuff on his guitar?

    Martin Simpson, we crossed pathes while headed to Columbia Univ. years ago. You a music facilitator….myself a student. This performance of 61 will always be etched in my brain. Keep on continuing! Stunning!

    This is an absolutely brilliant performance. His fingers just fly! And he makes it look so EASY.

    …Plus ultra. Ultimate! Brilliante! Martin Simpson has no equal on this planet. Twenty mile line of pretenders following after him, and he’s still leagues ahead of them all. Sign me up with the devil who gave you that skill, Martin. I’ll go there if I can, but for now, I can only be slain by your testament on that Sobell guitar. Never seen a blade so sharp as what you wield.
