David Grier visits WAMU's Bluegrass Country

[Marseglia12345]

Time for another instructional DVD, including that song? Very nice...... AU class of 86

[GiladFoss]

David Grier is the world's best bluegrass guitar player. His technique is the equal of the very best pickers but his novel approach to harmony and almost bottomless well of inspired, coherent musical ideas put him way ahead of anyone else. He's my favorite!

すばらしい！また日本に来て下さい！

これは、Martin D-28? Merill?　Fantastic! I want to come to the japan again!

[Marseglia12345]

Out of my ninety plus, very very premium ( guitar ) instruction-lesson DVDs,  you've got the best DVD out there.

That's not just because AU is Alma Matter.

Hey David, How do you play that song and make it sound so good?

[GibsonHummingbird]

Wicked , but no-one uses a whole fret board like Monte Montgomery.

[flatpikinguitar]

@GibsonHummingbird belive me. he can, and will, use every single note on the fretboard at one time or another. he just plays what comes into his head

[hardymiller1]

david, you are the best for me

[ansonlytle]

I think he played that in the key of "R" or "I"

[MrDJoers]

the song is in "E" if you care, DG is playing over a D chord with a capo on the second fret

[Lewey8705]

No, I asked Grier at a concert once. He told me he always plays it out of D.

[MrDJoers]

With a capo on the second fret of his guitar he plays the song in D major. You have to realize that a D chord moved two frets up would become an E chord, therefore making the song in E major.

couldn't hear the guitar over that beard

[jmartens2004]

coolest mother alive, check out the compton/grier duets, mind blowing

[mandohat]

still the best!

[HighCountryHillbilly]

Great picking , i loved it.

[musicaldata]

beautiful video! Is a lord of bluegrass!!!!!!

[mobileAgent77]

David had become a true mountain man! Excellent video

[danflatpick]

Never knew David was into music piracy.

[john77905]

amazing how he gets those little stubby fingers to hit ever note with percise accuracy. he is a hell of a flatpicker GREAT JOB!

[jocwalk]

Yeah, and to add to it, he does it without ever anchoring his right hand at all, not so much as his little finger just brushing the top. You look at what you said and the non-anchoring issue and I wonder how on earth he does it.

[Stringmeester]

one of the truly greats!!! Inspiring as ever.

Nice beard

[greekflatpicker]

I like David's new look,although it's hard for me to believe it's him...Joking of course.

Great picking from a great player.

A big fan here.

Best flatpicking pirate on earth:)

Ok, best flatpicker on earth.

David Grier is a national treasure. Thanks for posting this.

[ansonlytle]

David's Angelina Baker is the best in the business...every different way he does it.  With his new pirate look, he can add the key of "R" and "I" to A->G. :)

[banjobilly32]

Nice clean picking!
