'Tal's voice here, is always and instantly touching, it reveals his gentleness. Here Tal relates the way he developed his approach to his guitar,he first learned all the chords with a 4- string guitar, the he added the bass using the thumb of his huge hand.

His introductions are so richt it always reminds me of a pianist playing'
