Helping Hand

[WhileIGotTheseVices]

I listen to death and black metal but this stuff is actual talent.

[DarthQuinta]

I don't honestly care if I love Alt. Rock, this stuff is BAWS.

[Brushles83]

wow thile's playin the guitar and not the mandolin...

[bassman775]

Edgar Meyer is the the best of the best. I don't think even selling your soul to the devil would get you in the same ballpark as him. On days when I don't feel like practicing my bass, I put on some of his music and that is enough to get me to play for hours.

[mogli81]

The guy who played in the "The goodfellas" by Martin Skorsese is also brilliant on the bass!!!

:-@

[MrTraverse2]

No person knows their instrument better than Edgar Meyer knows his bass.

[aguywhoplaysbass]

I'm so attracted to chris thile... and I'm a 17 year old rectum. I'm literally a rectum.

I saw Goat Rodeo Live by Fathom Events and it was superb. However, I was disappointed that the album version of this song doesn't have solos from Chris or Edgar that were a fraction of the intensity as this version. I saw this one first before I bought the CD so I wondering where the crazy awesome bass solo was for a while... Still a great album.

[wudnhed58]

I had never seen Chris playing the guitar, no surprise that he is good on it. These are the Great Masters of our time.

[Onemiamikat]

Saw the Goat Rodeo Sessions in Miami at the Falls AMC streaming, while the music was amazing the sound was absolutely abominable. It was like watching an old tv. Front end sound only that for the first 20 min, I had to strain to hear, and I was up say 15 rows from front. In spite of that, it was a great evening that could have been an earthshaking night if only..... I recanted this to a friend who said he saw an opera streamed at same theater and also was very very bad sound..... come on Miami

[425mandilynn]

I just saw them live via video streaming tonight.....AMAZING!! The best musical experience of my life...absolutely to die for!! And I'm sorry, but Chris Thile is absolutely adorable. :)

[425mandilynn]

@425mandilynn At the end, Yo-Yo is right: magic. Pure magic. :)

[theviolentviolet1]

@425mandilynn Yo-Yo Ma is coming to Mobile in October, If you're anywhere near here

[TypicallyMessy]

Does anyone else wonder why Chris has a red yarn bracelet on it all of these videos?

[TheFletch827]

@TypicallyMessy Yes I noticed that. The female singer (can't spell her name) has a yarn bracelet also (the other videos).

[Kipicus]

I could watch Edgar Meyer play all day...

[philgarciaweir]

as far as pop music goes, rihanna's not too bad. i dont mind the rihanna ad, i just wish there was a goat rodeo ad on rihanna videos

[gordianknot555]

Glorious. I just wish there wasn't a damn Rihanna ad at the side

[ichkanns1]

@gordianknot555 Seriously. How can music like that still stand in the light of this track's purity?

[Margoil]

@gordianknot555 Go to full screen,and she disappears!!!

[mdsklls]

thile on guitar?

[3ohs0unds]

I got the CD...still can't help "liking" all the videos though....encore!!

[undertim16]

Doesn't music make you wetter than any girl ever could

[potato225]

the song that starts at 4:50 . . . what is it?!!!!

[larryurneryahoocom]

Yo-Yo Ma said "Magic" at the end. Yep.

[eldercurt53]

This has taken the genres of music I grew up playing and melded them together...INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[CameoWalkin]

When YoYo orchestrates bluegrass, it plays languid and lush. This could be part of a soundtrack about life out in the big country ... LOVE this sound!

[Airphel]

God I love this.

[SlackJawedFool]

This music makes life just a little better

[cheleball]

I can't get enough of 2:41 - 2:57.

[1preminger]

You should buy 250.00 worth of fabric Tackionic products and sit on it Get the Hiragana letters yo よand ma まand put them on a scarf. よ

ま

[LukeRobinson10]

my only problem with this is how they mic'd the mandolin

[TheFletch827]

Oh my, how beautiful. I don't think this is on the album I bought, there was a version with extra songs? Stuart on mandolin, he plays everything. And lastly what a heavenly bass part.

[titogibbons]

@TheFletch827 Helping Hand is the 3rd song on the album. Hope this helps!

[TheFletch827]

@titogibbons Yes thanks. I just could not remember hearing this.

[BryanBowser1]

Five minutes of life well spent!



[Masoud0J]

Crazy about what Edgar Meyer does at 3:17

[nationalparksign]

@Masoud0J everything he does is pretty crazy.

[jess1681]

@Masoud0J

Agreed. That stood out to me as well.

[ThePyzaist]

this is beauty.

[DoUdO1000]

Nooo

[AcousticCattle]

I'd love to be able to get some sheet music for the guitar piece in this song.

[FRANZ15C0]

CooL ♫♪♫♪♪

[WCB360]

like if Yo Yo Ma brought you here

[WCB360]

I'm so attracted to chris thile... and I'm a 17 year old dude.
