Great performance by the entire band. I enjoyed Bill's break and backup.

[mehdiahrabi]

[5stringmikey]

I used to say that all the time. I've been playing for over 5 years and can't imagine my life without it! I'm going to jam at a bar later tonite with some friends! You can do it if you really want to!

Sez who? =)

This section of the DVD had Bill explaining how to play backup on this sort of modal song, rolling through the mandolin solo when the fiddle chops.

[ScruggsPicker]

He should be vamping during the mandolin break!!

[carteru93]

Rolls can be used as a great backup as long as they aren't playing the same melody when another instrument is taking a solo.
