@Biff Tells It Like It Is hey there! 1951 D-18! I was in quarantine during this interview and actually didn’t have it with me. The guitar in the video is a Leo Posch Custom D-18. Thanks!
Awesome interview ! You are both doing so many positive things for the genre, and inspiring people to pick up the flat pick !!!!!! And an appearance from the Toad Pick Pouch to top it off. Mighty fine indeed.
I thought your dialog about improv at the end was really helpful. I'm new to flatpicking and it was neat to see how you both approach teaching that topic and viewing the segments of a melody. Thanks!
28:23-28:28 I like how he plays that run a little higher up then sort of “answers” it by going back down again. Real bouncy feeling I love it. Jake Workman does that a lot.
Thanks so much for this video. New guitar player here, it’s refreshing to hear you guys talk about playing speed so candidly. Time to learn those 500 fiddle tunes lol
Great conversation to eavesdrop. Very cool as you’re both genuine people reflected in the Bryan Sutton bromance. Jakes story of doing the pumpkin n pine tree hustle is gold. Much better heard when he tells it than read if you know what l mean. Cheers to you both.
That Jake dude has got the hang of this guitar playing thing. Dan Boner is a cool dude as well. He really needed to be at ETSU to continue making Bluegrass pickers.
Fiddle tune will make you master your Major Scale and will give you that traditional groove. On top of that once you get that going will notice almost 75% of old fiddle tune are the same shapes just in a different order. Of course on the G, C & D shapes. The real fun is after making it your own.
Enjoyed the improvisation conversation and demonstration at the end... I think a comment helps the/your algorithm so here it is. I did buy a Flatt Earth Society tee shirt; woo hoo; lol. 🤓
I wonder if US students are more inclined to take in person lessons because we have bluegrass practitioners vice other countries without that knowledge
