Thank you for discovering my Music and finding it smooth and graceful! (I try to keep it that way :-)
When I play the Guitar, I think of it or myself as a Vocalist singing through the Guitar and keeping it simple. Sometimes less is more :-)
You can check my Facebook for brands, models and the years that I used those Guitars, but I am currently using Custom made Guitar, and I used Gibson Byrdland and Artex (no longer available) with Lou Rawls.
Thank you David T you have inspired me for years.Was in a band with Buzz Cooper he told me to play like you,and told us about the Kinfolks band Richard Waters,Tracy Wright.Indeed your guitar can sing!
MrDavidTWalker Thank you for being the player you are. You play with so much feel and honesty.
@@mikedavis9891 Thank you for realizing my feeling and honesty!
To get the same benefit I have enjoyed since listening to your music going to a shrink I would have spent several tens of thousand dollars; Thank you.
@@juhintao3605 I thank you very much for your kindness and humor :-)
Sitting back in my easy chair, watching the rain falling slowly from the sky, sipping on a cup of coffee, listening to Mr. David T. Walker. I wouldn't have it any other way. Won't you join me?
Thank you! That brings a smile to my face.
Today is June 25. Happy Birthday Sir David!!! I have been a devoted fan for years. I will always be. You're the man!!! 👍🏾🙏🏾❤️
Thank you very much for your love! May you be blessed.
My Gratitude to you for your Kind words about my style being inspiring, inventive and my voice singing through the guitar. The human voice is my favorite instrument and I have practiced/played the guitar as if I am singing :-)
Hey man i love the way u put it down.. Really soulful, vocal and funked up
I've always felt the vocals in your playing guitar 🎸 😍 You are a blessing to the world!
@@williamaustin9349 Yes, I do sing the words through the guitar. Thank you!
I can hear that in your music. Really nice.
Arigato for remembering me from Kagoshima, Japan in 1982 :-) I remember that Concert and City!
My song Y-ence is one of my favorite jazz ballads I have written and I appreciate you listening to it over and over again plus feeling it as good music and your words are good inspiration for me!
With everything going on in the world, if you need bit of time out to clear your mind listen to Mr David T Walker you will feel better.
Thank you for your very kind words. They have helped me to feel better also.
@@MrDavidTWalker Thank you for your reply,hope to see perform live one day.
Mr, David T. Walker, Still listening to You. Thank You!!!!
I thank you for listening!
A master at work!!! One of the few original guitarists in existence!!!
+Keith Copeland My Gratitude to you for recognizing me as one of the original guitarists!
+MrDavidTWalker You are quite welcome sir! Just helping those not in the know to recognize a living session and touring legend!
+Keith Copeland Thank You again for your Thoughtfulness!
I agree. Two of the other few are John Fahey, and Marc Ribot.
David T Walker, my favourite guitarist of all time. Have been in love with your work for a long time and am hugely inspired by the nuances of your style. Thank you for everything 🎶
Mark baker : where are you from David TWalker because no one on earth plays guitar like you .
I feel the music with my body and Soul of course from within!
My family is from State of Maine and I grew up in Central Maine in a family of Musicians. My grandmother, Marie Jeanne Lacombe (Veilleux) a professional Piano player who played throughout Canada, Maine, New England and for her Church introduced me to this Band and David T Walker. I just fell in love with the music, passion in each song and piece of music. They truly respected each other and have such love for what they do. My grandmother was like this. She'd play the Piano and I never saw her without a smile on her face as she played. Thank you for this Music. Battling Cancer sucks and each day is a struggle but, I listen to your Music and watch these Videos and it helps. Bless you all! Thank you for the passion in what you do.....It gets right in to the Soul. Psalm 46:10 BE STILL.....
Yes, music brings a smile to your face and healing powers. It has always brought a smile within my heart and soul. I am happy to know you understand and feel that. I am glad to know that my humble contribution to music is helpful.
it doesn't get any better than this.
+roy raken Thank you very much for your encouraging words!
+roy raken I totally agree got into David back in the 70's
Soooo mellow..Marvin would dig it..
I hope so! :-)
There are countless amazing guitar players but it’s the first time I’ve heard a conversation between the player and his guitar . David to Walker walk on water . Mark baker
I am Grateful for the way you feel about my understanding of conversation with music.
@@MrDavidTWalker thank you so much for your reply David , totally unexpected. As I write this I’m mesmerised watching you play “what’s going on “ with Bernard Purdue , Chuck Rainey , and the gang in Japan . David how on earth did you manage to amaze the world with that mesmerising performance? Even mr Purdie couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. And I could see the rest of that magnificent ensemble of talent with their jaws on the floor .
Good gracious alive man! I was feeling that. That was a journey of epic proportions! I was like- butter! Fire! Cosmic! Tears of joy! Tears of sadness!
Thank you. Thank you sir. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings! I appreciate it.
Doumo Arigato for enjoying my performances. It is very nice of you to let me know that you learned strength and what a gentleman is by my playing and you saw me at PIT INN 22 years ago! May I say You have my Gratitude.
Music can't get no better this!!
That's very kind of you to say so! Thank you very much.
HI Mr, Walker, Listening to Your Music tonight! I just learn you were playing with Crusaders. A favorite Group in the 70ths. Thank You! Happy Holiday to You!
Hey Mr. Walker, I am still listening to you. Sept. 12, 2020.
Thank you for your suggestion and interest! I have considered doing a demonstration or instructional video. Maybe sometime in the future! You can check out my website for all the records I have played on. I always create my part, without exception. To demonstrate how I think, the only thing I can say is it comes to me naturally by Feeling the context of the song or the Artist and how I feel on that day :-)
You know Larry Carlton and probably know Robben Ford as well. They could introduce you to Truefire (located in Tampa FL) which is a great learning platform. It would be nice if you could do a course with them.
David T. U are one of the greats!!! Good to see that you're still above the grass!!!
I am happy to still be here! May you press on with a smile.
Mr. Walker, you show the world how it's done! Pure, masterful soul! Thanks so much for being the artist you are.
If I ever get to Japan....
+MrTriple3 It is very Generous and Thoughtful of you to speak to me with such an encouraging compliment on my artistry. I will use this energy to "Press On"!
simply beautiful, delicate, sweet. Mr Walker you are one of my favourite guitarist of all times. Thanks.
+Marco Lombardi I am Grateful for your very Kind words!
The one and only David T. walker. So glad you are still making those string sing.

You are truly one with your instrument, it becomes a conduit, a window to the soul. I'd listen to this jam for the rest of my life. Thank you.
I have always tried to be at one with my instrument and the music. I am grateful for your noticing it!
I am Happy to share this Music, along with my Spirit and I am Grateful to have it received with such Kindness Understanding and appreciation.
Untouchable.
Thank you very much!
Mr. Walker is to the guitar, what the Russian grand masters are to chess.
Finesse, wisdom, a deft touch, and real soul. Just beautiful.

Hey, Mr. David T. Walker,Enjoying Your Music on Sunday Night. Thank You!!
I hope you continue to enjoy my music and any other music you listen to!
So wonderful.
Thank you very much!
bbc guitar documentary got me here. so nice to hear you play.
Thank you for listening!
holy shit
Thank you for speaking to me and your Kind words. The amplifier I use is a Fender Deville 4x10 speakers.
Sounds as good today as the day it was released, theme tune to my Soul Show in the UK in the 70's/early 80's.
Thank you very much!
@@MrDavidTWalker You are welcome David....keep well and
best regards from the UK.
Mr. Walker, this is outstanding -.LOVE IT! Got lucky when I was young and saw many superlative guitarists - from Joe Pass, George Benson and Mick Goodrick to John Abercrombie, John Scofield and Charlie Hunter (who sounds like a Hammond B-3 on his seven string) rock the house back in the day.
nothing like watching a man sing with his fingers and hands, the sight of someone with no mind in past or future. Just the notes. The little run when it goes minor after the first chorus is brilliantly primal.
I appreciate you paying that kind of close attention to what I do. Yes, it is true I approach playing in the now singing with heart, body and soul.
It takes a bit of guts to even attempt a Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder song. (Even instrumentally!) Mission accomplished. A soulful rendition of a wonderful song. Thanks for sharing.
Soooooo cool - lets those licks just role out - legendary session muso -
I stand up - smile bow with the satisfaction David T Walkers has given me since the 70s
You have my gratitude for your thoughtful words and appreciation!
Oh my Lord its you - really you
I appreciate that you appreciate my style and think it is beautiful I will "Press On" totally with an honest effort!
As someone from the other side of the world, Bangladesh, it took me much longer to discover your music, but I am glad that I did!
It is 2021. I am still listening to your Music.
Thank you for your continued listening! Be well.
Wow, sorry to say I'd never heard of you before seeing this, but now I'm hooked! Your phrasing is incredible and I could only dream of techniques such as yours. Thank you.
Thank you for discovering me! Your appreciation of my sound is much appreciated by me.
I brought album back in the 70's with the beige suit and the guitar sitting on the sidewalk been a fan every since, luv how you master the guitara fan always
beautiful playing!
Thank you very much!
Not fair for one person to have that much soul! NICE!!
Why can I not find any bio or music by Bill Bivens except these amazing gems with Bernard Purdie?

That awesomely unique style, of Mr. David T. Walker, also helped the late Barry White to propel his love songs to a heaven-like state. I never been to heaven, but the music gives us a clue. The magnificent 70's produced some of the best music ever heard...of all time. And we have the likes of, Mr. David T. Walker, to give thanks for that. Beautiful song. Beautiful performance. Beautiful artist.

i will definitely be watching for you to come around the Windy City. less is more is a great way to describe your style. Yet each note is so clear and euphonious. I'd love to see you at a place like the City Winery
I'd love to be there. My touch is the most important thing to me. Thank you for noticing my style!
If there should be only one reason I like internet, it would be because I discover amazing artists like Mr David T Walker I would have never heard of any other way.
Thank You for sharing the good vibes, have a good day (no matter what time it is where you are) and keep it up ! :D
Julien, I appreciate you finding me, giving me a Listen and Thank you for Your very Kind words about my Artistry / Music!
I wish you Well and We shall Press On.
Julien Déchaut me too
Agree Absolutely
Nobody plays melodies like this. His picking and vibrato are not just unique, they make you want to keep listening because David T. draws you into his music with his soul.
I am very pleased that I can draw you into music because it is from my soul. Thank you very much for speaking on it.
Yes, he draws out the beauty and soul of the melody.
For one thing, he begins by choosing top quality songs. Then he fills them, surrounds them with his own musical imagination and flair without suffocating or pushing the melody to the side.
I don´t speak english very good, a am writing fron Argentina, I love the way you play de guitar, your feeling. I also remenber the concerts with de great singer Lou Rawls. ¡Thank you!. Claudio miranda
I appreciate your very Kind words and feelings on being able to listen to this kind of music and my humble contributions musically over and over, plus yes ... I can also perform these feelings over and over again and I do :-)
Let's say again.....Precisely perfect !!!
Thank you very much!
So sweet. Thanks. Love you, David.
Thank you vey much and I wish you love!
@@MrDavidTWalker Me too. So much the same. Your guitar playing sometimes gives me chills.
Late to the party but glad I got here. What a masterful rendition of this song!

Claudio
I am am big Pat Martino fan and use to a zillion notes, but I was totally blow away by your use of vibrato and just picking the right notes. What a feel, what taste. I thought I was up on all the great players(Garland, Bruno, Pass, etc...), then I found you. Wow. Welcome a welcome fresh breathe of air in my 16th note life. So glad I found you when I was searching for a Byrdland on the net. Why don't they have a channel for you on Pandora? You help me find my inner peace. Come to Philly.
Great cover! I love how intensely you feel the music, you make playing the guitar look so effortless. I aspire to have as much control over my playing as you do someday. You're a living legend.
You have my gratitude for your understanding and kind words! May you continue to enjoy playing the guitar. It takes time and dedication to feel everything you play.
It has been a great pleasure today. My introduction to MrDavidTWalker.

I do not think this video is still available except maybe in Japan on the internet.
Mr. Walker you and the gentlemen you are playing with on this date are the musicians that myself and my peers listened to, and modeled ourselves after growing up in the 60s & 70s. Thank you for the inspiration.
I am happy to know that you were able to use my music and my friends' music. Thank you for speaking to me! May you continue to press on with a smile.
Incredible! Press On Mr T, my favorite ever

Thank you very much for recognizing me and my spirit!
LOVE YO!!!
私は「２DAYS」楽しみました。このsessionのMr.DAVID T.WALKERのPLAYで「真の強さ」と「紳士」を学びました。 N.Y.の「SNAKE GROOVE」の中でも「魂」で跳ね返して「諭す様に」勝負する姿に、「Spirit of Gandhi」を想起しました。私は貴方の「魂」が 「Pleiades」 から来たと思っています。
２２years ago at PIT INN で「REAL T.」 に出会えた事は 「MY TREASURE」です。
SPECIAL THANKS FOR Mr.DAVID T.WALKER from PLEIADES！！
この当時この面子でのこのライブ流行りましたね！
僕もこのDVD所有していました。
最高です！
Doumo Arigato for enjoying the music.
