I've been watching your guitar demos for weeks now. Not only do you inspire me to practice a whole lot more than I did, but I honestly can't remember the last time I heard such amazing playing. Your technical ability is absolutely astonishing in your fast tunes, but when you play calm and moderate tempo it's just out of this world. I'd love to hear an entire solo record from you. Thank you for the music and greetings from Poland.

Carl, you are my ideal of what elegant guitar playing should be. Your sense of melody is exquisite - as well as your taste, tuning and tone.

The zen master. Thankful for your tunes, brotha!

Simply lovely. I've watched and rewatched your videos on TNAG's channel maybe a billion times now. You play with such elegance. Your technique is effortlessly flawless. I'm gushing. In my book, one of the best in the world.

This is a very tasteful tune. I like the modern open chords. And bariton sounds so warm. Also well recorded, thanks for sharing. BR from Germany

Sounds so good tuned down like that

Beautiful!

The best Baritone demo I've ever heard!

Seriously Carl you have such a tastefulness in your playing. Please keep it up.

Finally, a complete song by Carl! I love your demos but I love this more. Thank you.

Good Lord my man! Absolutely beautiful playing! I can’t recall ever seeing a more natural “make it look easy” right hand picking. Just incredible! Keep it up my friend!

Masterful work sir. You truly inspire me to play sir. Everything you do screams not only your dexterity and cleanness of skill, but also the intellect that separates the good pickers, from the great! Bravo and well done sir! Much success and longevity to you. Hope to see you play in person someday.

You've singlehandedly changed my playing more than anybody/anything else in two decades. Watching and learning your demos on TNAG have improved my skill so much. Everyone always asks me what I'm playing and I never know what to tell them haha. I'm glad mow I know that this one has a name! We are so thankful for you, my friend. Those of us who have found you hold you in high regard. Please keep at it

So darn good Carl. Looking forward to more video on your channel. Do you mind sharing what the make and thickness is of the white picks you often play on TNAG videos are? Chris Kamen here.

I find his guitar choice interesting. It appears to be a inexpensive Alvarez. Looks like a masterworks. Sounds like a baritone. I have been raising the flag for this brand and line of guitars since my purchase of a OM model Alvarez brand new for $800. All solid wood. Had a 2500 budget. Been playing over 30 years and it's my desert island guitar. Maybe he was paid to use it, but I don't remember seeing the headstock. The pickguard and bridge tells all. One of the greatest living acoustic players of all to me. And he can play whatever he wants. That one problem spoke to him. I love Martin, Gibson,Taylor etc. Have a 810 that's my 2nd favorite. But until I can afford a Sant Cruz or Thompson, I'm gonna probably keep Alvarez at the top. They have a OM model built in Japan as apposed to the Chinese made like the one here, that I would love to hear him play. Comes with 40+ year old Tropical Mahogany that sound like a $10.000 guitar.

Wow!

New fan. Nice guitar.

Hi Carl, I recently discovered your videos and demos….as many people I just can’t stop watching them, now! Great playing and guitar feeling! I’m also practiging a lot - trying - to play and write down your music! Carl, is there any album of yours? Greetings from Italy!

Just goes to show you that it's not necessarily the guitar but the player who can bring out the tones the guitar has to offer! Not bad tones from a $400 guitar, I'd say! Thanks for your youtube vids Carl! Do you ever get over Memphis way? Would love to see you in person somewhere in Memphis. You're not getting the recognition you deserve. BTW what pick and string gauges do you use for your personal guitars? Thanks again for sharing your beautiful talents. -Greg

stickgs Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate you! In this video, I was using the tortex flex 1.14 picks. On normal guitars, I usually use D’Adarrio flattop lights, but with mediums on the high E and B strings.
