  4. Hi Jimmy… Joel from the campgrounds in Kingston… I was asking you gear questions at the festival..thanks again for the info…I just bought an LV 05 ! ..Del had a try on it yesterday and really liked it.. Then I played him Shifts of Attention which he recognized right away.. I purchased great tabs and mp3s from candyrat…now I’m checking out loop stations lol. Next time your back in Canada I’ll be there! Joel.

  5. Hi Jimmy: The show at the Company House in Halifax was just fabulous. You and Don sound terriic solo and as a duo. It was a magical evening, despite it being the second last concert after a hectic touring schedule. I do hope that we will have a longer visit with you here in Halifax the next time that you come.

    Your CD is just great and you are about the only other guitarist that I like as well as I like my brother’s music. Thanks for being such a great friend and touring partner for my wonderful brother. Margaret Ross.

  6. Thank you for playing at Victoria, BC Nov 27. I enjoyed every minute of your set with Don Ross, both solo and duet. I was all smiles watching and listening to you play!
    I hope that your trip back home was smooth and you are enjoying the rest of the winter in coziness.
    Take care and come back soon!
    April :)

    • I had a great time playing in Vicotria! I´m glad you enjoyed the consert.

      all the best to you until next time

  7. Hey Jimmy,

    Congratz for your musics. It sounds like a paradise in a music way. My favorite song is “Rapid eye Moment”.

    See ya!!

    • Hey, I´d love to come to Brazil and play! Great to have you as a listener, Fred.

      peace and love

  8. Hi!!! I love your cd and i was just wondering if you are coming to Spain!! (i mean you and your acoustic). We would really love to see you and have my Larrivee signed!!!

    best!

    • Oh, I´d love to come to Spain and play. I´m doing a big European tour november 2011 and my hopes are that Spain will be included on the tour.
      Happy new year and thanks for the support.

  9. Hi!

    I’m from Barcelona.

    Where can we buy your CD?

    Thanks

  10. Hello from Spain,

    I have a question about your playing technique. I don’t know if you get asked this a lot but for your left hand when you do a percussive tap on the back of the neck, do you wear a ring on your thumb? Also, how do you get it to come out in the mix during a performance?

    Thanks

    • Hi Victor.

      Yes, I do wear a ring on my left thumb which I hit remotely hard on the back of the neck. It´s obvious in some of my videos. Check out It´s your favorite, both versions. It´s also noted in my tabs available on the Candyrat website. Using the right pickups the guitar you get a nice mix in the PA. It´s all about not hitting the neck to hard with the ring.

      Thanks for tuning in, man.

      peace

  11. Hey Jimmy,

    I have been looking to play one of your songs with a friend, I was wondering if your guitar tabs came with multiple guitar parts?

    • Hi Michael!

      Cool that you´re looking to check out the tabs. The tabs released on Candyrat are based on the lead guitar as performed on the album tracks.
      The second harmony is noted where most prominent. For example the chorus part in Rapid eye and the percussive intro on Shifts of attention.
      If you´re looking for the second harmonies performed by Joel Sahlin and Don Ross on the youtube videos you have to go though them as they
      are not released on Candyrat.
      I don´t think Don ever made tabs for his part in It´s your favorite but I know Joel made tabs for his harmonies in Tranquility and Rapid eye moment
      as he playes them on the youtube videos. He´s easey to get a hold of through facebook and he´s sold plenty of those tabs on his own.

      Let me know if I can be of any more help. Good luck with your playing and thanks for tuning in!

  12. Hi Jimmy, I was just wondering when you are coming to Sweden to play?

    Cheers

    • Viktor! I take it your from Sweden so I´ll reply in my native language!

      Min plan är att göra en hel clinic/workshop turné i sverige under september-oktober. Det håller på att bokas nu. Frienda mej på Facebooks så kan jag lättare hålla dej underrätad.

      ha det guld så länge!

  13. Hi Jimmy what is the name of the guitar store in Sweden that you get your guitars from. A freind is going to Europe and wants to look for a guitar over there. By the way are your Guitars made in the USA or Canada…anyway …we’ll miss you playing at the CGF in Kingston but will be following your progress on the Tommy Emmanuel tour. You got alot of fans Jimmy keep up the great music. Joel .

    • Hi there. Sorry for the late reply Joel. I guess your friend´s been in Sweden already. I rarely check my blogg since my website jimmywahlsteen.com was launched and I keep my Facebook pretty busy as well. the guitars I use Larrivée are actually built in Canada by Jean Larrivée. I doubt it that you would find a better price in Sweden but the Swedish dealers name is Gitarrspecialisten.
      I hope to be back in Canada at CGF next summer. Until then I hope you like my new album that is released on Candyrat on november 15ht.

      All the best to you and appoligies for not being helpfull enough with guiding your friend to his guitar.

      peace

      jimmy wahlsteen
