Tal Farlow Talmage Holt Farlow (June 7, 1921 – July 25, 1998), better known as Tal Farlow, was a jazz guitarist and sign painter born in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Farlow is nearly as famous for his reluctance to play as for his fast, bebop-influenced playing and use of percussive finger tapping and false harmonics.
When he was younger, he played a mandolin tuned to that of a ukulele because his hands weren't big enough to play on his father's guitar. When his hands were big enough, he noticed that he had two extra strings to play, so he used his thumb on the 5th and 6th strings. By age 22, he was playing professionally, and in 1948 he was with Marjorie Hyams' band. While with the Red Norvo Trio (which originally included Charles Mingus) from 1949-1953, Farlow became famous in the jazz world.
