[Fullofpies]

There clearly all advanced robots from the future.

[bethelridgeforge]

I start my morning with this pickers delight. If this doesn't get your heart pumping, you have no heart. Thanks Jerry!

[txmacartist]

Just don't care for it.

[soyounoat]

The title of this clip should be "HOT Damn!"

[anitadavideduo]

uoooowooowww!!!!

[christschool]

Move over Jimmy Page, Jerry Douglas is the man. Watch and learn. Look at the other musicians, smiling because they recognize genius. They're all thinking "DAMN!"

[bonglehaddock]

So that's what Alison would look like with a moustache.

[danbcarson]

Who's the guitarist? Ridiculous. They're all awesome.

[daw162]

@danbcarson Bryan sutton. As good as there is.

[annamanana1]

Good golly Miz Molly! Jerry makes that dobro shine shine shine, then

talk, hop AND walk the dog.

[seahag1967]

Fingers on Fire!

[frmertd]

my favorite albums I've ever bought are made by that guitarist Bryan Sutton. They are amazing instrumental bluegrass albums.

[nanny999999]

Jerry redefines the rules of time and space. This man's magical fingers are not from this world!!!

[dalexeiblues]

I really like it too, outstanding perfomance !

[Phagedaena]

Who were the two clowns who rated this video down ?

[Phagedaena]

You don't even need to like Bluegrass to appreciate the sheer awesomeness of this. Superb !!

[treemaster7]

[TheBitterWeed]

It sometimes seems that these guys live to play, yet when they are playing, they're just having fun. Damn.

Heh. Great stuff.

[kotaboner42]

i love it when the musicians smile

i just feel so cold sometimes when musicians play such rapturous stuff and just are stone-faced all the way through.

smile on!

[bluesguitardude]

bryan= epic win on the guitar!

[baughb42]

He comes up ta Canada in a few more days-what a guy.

[pickyricky1]

Where in Canada and when?

[5finly]

Jerry Douglas stay the god of Dobro.

[1FLEWUNDER]

Took some lessons from Jerry at Telluride over the years...learned nothing...his blazing speed is impossible to replicate

[valbritt]

Jerry was GREAT at Merlefest 2009!!

That double thumby in the intro

Jon Eric

[DochSchneider]

Sutton still has nothing on Doc Watson, and probably never will.

[phriendlyphool]

[JBRHC78]

I hear ya. Haven't been since 04.

[caraphyllis]

As far as dobro goes, there's Jerry Douglas and then there's everybody else

[Mar10Guitar]

Like Rob Ickes 10 time IBMA dobro player of the year?....

[mystro810]

all in the picking

[vinylblitzkreig]

GOD DAMN!!!! This guy is scary. (I mean that in a good way)

[fuefedahoidda]

never seen such fast slide playing before!!!!

[birddoggarton]

Dang....Sutton is quick - smooth - CLEAN !!!

[loge10]

Jerry is God (with all respect to Eric)

[soyounoat]

@loge10 : Yes! And Jerry Douglas is way up there too!

[soyounoat]

Jerry Douglas is the one Dobro player I recognize by ear immediately.

[softpete]

Just Stoopid!

[RyanandSarah7]

Best Dobro player ever.

[capitancriterio]

makes me wanna kill someone

[timmonsisbest]

go do it then

[johnkeig]

maaaaan that was f***ing amazing!!!!!!!!

[adg1017]

holy crapola... that's amazing.

[fuefedahoidda]

yeeeehaaaaaa

[joewoo127]

yip yi o kai a  yeeh hah !

[nmfarlow]

what the heck kinda guitar does bryan play?

[brucelthorndike]

It's a Bourgeois Slope D. I played one in a shop recently and found it had a very thin tone, for such an expensive guitar. But it was a beautiful guitar to play. Real easy to play fast up the neck. Most guitars are set up for tone and volume. This one was set up for speed with a loss of tone and volume.

[bufton6]

Fucking crikey.

[beakwithteeth]

damn...

[timothius4788]

i swear he sold his soul

[timmonsisbest]

no he just practices...hard.

[knukpanshov]

had the pleasure of witnessing jerry @ the grand in wilmington de. what a show cant wait for akus to comeback

[marshaul]

Very nice.

[dobrostarr]

for all of the folks who disregard uncle josh: Go back and listen to bootleg flatt & Scruggs from the early 50s...listen to "head over hills in love w/ you" or try to play "just joshin" and getting the roll right... You can't say you're a fan of the dobro w/out realizing the impact josh made on the instrument(he did for the dobro, what scruggs did for the banjo) ...it's impact is beyond anything anyone else has ever brought to the instrument...

[andrewdewey]

Jerrry is the virtuso who brought the resonophonic guitar to its full realization: on par with any other instrument. No other reso player did that before or since, and maybe never. He is on par with Yoyo Ma, Casals, and Rampal on their respetive instruments. And, yes, even Zamfir on pan pipes.

[TheTrueNorth]

lol i love how sutton goes crazy when he starts his solo and he's just smilin at flux like it ain't no think. i want both their babies,

[phjost]

If someday the absolute perfect resophonic guitar player is born, it will be half Jerry Douglas and half Bob Brozman.

[HisDudeness1983]

Jerry is insane! He is amazing!

[dandaman6007]

WOW...great clip

did u get the feed from the big screen TV? the video has lots of angles like it was done professionally

[riverpotato]

It is an excerpt from a professionally made VHS tape of the festival.

[freeze566]

Jerry is the worlds greatest Dobro player !!

GREAT JOB !!

[canadianroot]

bah...i could do that in my sleep!!! (it's called dreaming). actually, i bought a dobro, and i enjoy dusting it regularly. anybody know of a GOOD instructional download?

[kkkssskkkssskkksss]

I don't know of a good one but I DON'T recommend "Folk of the Woods" DVD. I'm a complete beginner as well and I thought the DVD sucked. I found a good beginner book but can't remember the name right now. I'll look it up and post back in a day or two.

[canadianroot]

thanks, many k's and many s's. what does your family call you? i'd settle for "hey you" in that instance. i'll wait for your post, and thanks. happy slidin'!

[mibaster]

DAMN

[ultimatebanjo]

Wow!

[guitarmcman]

[Mochimino]
