Some mighty fine flat pickin' guys. Quick, and more impressively, clean. How come I've never seen you at our bluegrass festival, near Williamsport, PA, Smoked Country Jam?
The only real downside was the volume of the rhythm guitar... you need to learn to control your dynamics better, keeping the volume down while the mandolin is soloing, and keeping it like it already is when the guitar is soloing.
I hope in the last 2 years since this was posted, you've gotten that under control, because the actual picking was more than stage-ready on both insruments.
Way to go guys, I laughed at the beginning and thought "oh wow these kids aren't serious at all" then you amaze me with a great performance. Keep up the good work.
You guys should put up your full names coz I reckon you're gonna make a name for yourselves sooner or later. A great duo, like Batman and Robin or, er, Rice and Grisman. And by the way, yes - this came up first on a search for BB. Thanks guys.
wonderful! You each play nice variations the 2nd time through the guitar palys a great pedal point lick starting around 1:50 that I'm about to steal - really smart and inventive, guys!
Wow! Great job, you guys look pretty young still too and all ready playing great. Do you play shows or festivals? You guy could make a living of playing music no doubt. simply awesome. keep at it.
AK : son, I am aware of what most musicians do and don't , and you are correct.. most are looking for girls I have been playing out 50 years.. everything from holes in the wall to Carnegie Hall..... it was a JOKE... and a COMPLIMENT... ..the sort of humor working musicians bandy about... and this kid is a PRO musician if I ever saw one.. I doubt it hurt his feeling.. I would tend to believe he understood the compliment ... so relax... dude,, the comment was far from mean..
I am trying not to hate little kids who can out play me by 100 times and look bored doing it... what is the mando player looking around for ,, a snickers bar... his puppy... what.... PAY attention ,. or at least PRETEND like you have to...
That is a blueridge BR-160. I am actually trying to sell it! It does have pretty good sound, but it has a really small neck (which doesn't agree with my hand very much). They are a great value guitar, made in china. But they do cut a few corners.
Good job on your videos .The fact that you enjoy playing (and a little competing :) ) Shows in the results.Always find ways to keep it fun. Music is good for the soul.P.S. Gotta like the name...W.Clark
Wow, Jed you've come a very very long way from begging to play my guitar in Drop D, lol! I'm so very impressed with the both of you. Too bad I haven't had much time to play my guitars during college, but I'm graduating in May, so maybe I'll pick it back up again.
