[MASTERBLASTER118]

i dont care what anyone says, bluegrass is sexy

[MrJcalfee]

Dosent matter jim mills is the man

[CagedTweetie]

The guitar player is John Bowman that's now playing fiddle and banjo for the Boxcars

[bigmrclean]

This is a Henderson I am pretty sure.

[ColdFusionGames]

I recognize a lot of Scruggs in this guy's playing. Very nice! :D

[csabygod]

finally realized why this tune stuck with me.....he's playing the clinch mountain backstep.

[pacossinger]

@csabygod he plays clinch mountain and at the end he plays down the road

[plumriveropry]

@csabygod

Break 1 - Tennessee Banjo Man

Break 2 - Clinch Mountain Backstep

Break 3 - Sourwood Mountain

Break 4 (end) - Down the Road

[old706]

Jim Mills is my favorite banjo picker and a really nice guy.

[dlivers9704]

what brand of guitar is the guitar player playing?

[pappyjoe]

I'm not too sure on this video but on another one I have he's playing a Martin and it looks similar

[BATENKILL]

@pappyjoe It's a Wayne Henderson Guitar

[blugrastooth]

@pappyjoe that guitar is a wayne taylor model i believe...

[Banjerman07]

@dlivers9704 Henderson guitar built in virgina

[devlin15251]

@dlivers9704 he's playing a handmade guitar made by wayne henderson.

[lynntccr]

@dlivers9704 Hes playing a Wayne Henderson !8 model. modeled after a matrin d-18. Some of the best guitars built today.

[flatpikinguitar]

@dlivers9704 Hes playing a Wayne Henderson 18 model guitar. Those things are monsters

[200000028]

@dlivers9704 its not a martin. it looks like something handbuilt.

[alt1956]

@dlivers9704

The guitar is a Henderson

[bigmrclean]

@dlivers9704....It's not a martin most defiantly...I can tell you that just by looking at the color, pick guard..most importantly and obvious the headstock..Has a headstock sorta like a taylor..Not sure what it is.

[packingten]

@dlivers9704 No doubt a Martin best sounding Flat top made END of sentence Sorry Taylor owners close but no cigar:)

[flatpikinguitar]

@packingten check out collings and bourgeois and merrill. for a new guitar they put new martins to shame. old martins still take it most of the time.

[dukeofearlbanjo]

@dlivers9704 Its a Wayne Henderson guitar

[flatpikinguitar]

@dlivers9704 its a henderson

[HansBluejacket]

@dlivers9704 It looks like a Mossman guitar to me.

[flatpikinguitar]

@dlivers9704 Thats a guitar built by luthier Wayne Henderson (Henderson guitars). Kindof a D-18 style guitar

[brandonch25]

@dlivers9704 its a custom guitar i forgot the guy who makes them, it definetly is not a martin though

[NewRootsBluegrass]

@dlivers9704 I believe that's a Henderson

[TheDuster88]

what year is this

[pappyjoe]

@TheDuster88 It was recorded at Doyle Lawson's 30th anniversary in 2005

[nate3240]

from what I can tell the banjo solos in this tune all come from traditional bluegrass tunes... I hear Clinch mtn backstep and i also hear down the road at the end... can anyone tell me what song the break played at about the two minute mark comes from?

[chickenpickintim]

Sourwood Mountain.

[Secace]

That was probably one of my favorite band configs Doyle ever had. John R. Bowman's voice is golden!

[stanleypicker]

nice "clinch" application!!!!!

[TheBanjoFlyBoy]

I watched Earl on black & white tv in the 50's and he is and always will be the best in my mind, but son you are one hell of a picker! That is one of the best sounding banjos I've ever heard!!! BanjoFlyBoy

[pappyjoe]

I never compare two players as to who is better ...both Earl and Jim are very talented and play somewhat different styles

[bigmrclean]

@TheBanjoFlyBoy Huber makes a great banjo!

[zechpatrick]

awsome

that's realy good

that's music

[bigmrclean]

Yes sir!!!!!!! Jim mills= todays Earl scruggs!!...TY Jim for sticking with the sold good old banjo picking..Ol' Jim Mills model Huber ringing!

[ac5aa]

[bluegrassaro]

@mommar33: could it be otherwise? :)

DL&QS are one of the best band in the world!

I think I'll buy the DVD soon even though I have the usual region problem between USA and Italy.

Thank you.

[bluegrassaro]

Are these clips parts of an entire show? Can you tell us what? Is it on DVD? Thanks!
