  • A tune from one of my favorite albums ever… Marty Robbins’ “Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs”. If you play guitar, listen to that album and pay close attention to what Grady Martin plays on the whole record.
    Guitar - 1967 Harmony Sovereign Deluxe
    Strings - D’Addario Nickel Bronze medium gauge (13-56)
    Capo - Shubb Fine Tune

      Sir I felt the same for many years until the great Eric Weissberg said to me (a long story from his South African tour with Art Garfunkel in 2001) the playing and mastering of an instrument is an introspective journey. One must play for oneself as much as another. If it isn't enjoyable for oneself then something elemental is wrong. For me it was timing. Eric taught us in a few hours the power of a metronome and it changes my life. It could be something as simple as note spacing, timing or phrasing. Without the basics it sounds off. Start there and even the great Trey Hensley is achievable, correct Trey? I'm still working hard at the basics by the way, and still enjoying the results

    I remember the morning Marty Robbins died…My old man was up at like 4:30 am (which he never was) when I would usually roll outta the house for morning swim practice…He was a real sob but this particular morning was soft and his voice was shaking. He tells me Marty Robbins died…I skipped practice (I was 10) and he made us breakfast and I stayed home all morning listening to his records with the old man. Dude…You made me wanna reconnect with this music years later. Beautiful stuff Trey….Bravo!!!
