Tony, you’re doing so many duets with so many other people that we need to start referring to you as the ‘Willie Nelson of bluegrass’ . P.S. hope you can make Armuchee.
Yay, a great guitar + mando jam! Very interesting - in these jams, whenever one of you looks surprised/delighted at what the other just played, I like to go back and take a closer look at whatever caused said expression. Ethan - nice runs of triplets in the middle there!
Smoked it. Rick is one of the best at everything. We need him to come to the James Wimmer Bristol Bluegrass event in Bristol Va, or Bluegrass in the Blue ridge in Kingsport TN. Great place for me to meet him. Im just saying.
Fantastic. I’ve not seen Allen play with guitar resting on his right leg! Great playing by you both! Tony your expressions of appreciation while others take breaks is great! Looks you guys had a lot fun!
@johnmurret2290 nice catch! I usually rest the guitar on my left leg, kind of in a cradle. Space was limited in the room we were in so I adjusted. It was a lot of fun picking with Tony again.
Thanks guys! Yes this is #30. I made it for my dad and I love to steal it occasionally and pick it out for folks to look at all the extra inlay work I did on that particular guitar
@RickFaris hi Rick,we met at the Frankfurt bluegrass festival a few years ago,I attended your concerts and guitar workshop...also I was the raffle winner of the mandolin,so it was worth it coming all the way from Milano 😀 (Marco)
Man I found you through searching up renditions of Big Sciota and I saw you jamming with Jake Workman. You sound great! Been trying to learn this style. Love the videos. Gives me lots of things to try. Thanks!
I’d say they are sticking to the melody just fine which is the important thing. And really liked it!! The tempo does not seem slow to me at all. . The only problem I think is I can’t really hear Tony on his guitar. Not sure if it’s the instrument itself? Maybe dig in a bit more. And sidenote, I couldn’t play half as good as you.
ha, yeah, I'm digging in a ton, but because I play with such a rounded and thick pick, there are no highs to cut through in the mix - oh well, that's the price of having a really dark tone I guess!
