Chris Thile & Noam Pikelny "Big Sciota"

[Supergreen76]

Is it just me or is this what Heaven sounds like

[VeterusTV]

Tremendous - two incredible players. Amazing improvisation.

[pipdog1967]

a smothering bucket of notes. Talented chaps though...

[thebluegrasspicker]

I would of killed somebody to of got to see this live. Chris and Noam are my two favorite musicians.

[davidsonchris]

SIIICK!!!!

[PicklesMusic1]

Too fast.

[kashkrunched]

To much banjo....

[pitlcat]

awesome.. :) The mic's and the home video recording don't do the mix volume wise justice.. I'm sure Naom is in line, what the camera pics up isn't in his control. As usual the haters are gonna be negative over what they aspire to but will never be :) losers ...

[banjowv]

a good example of two top players riding roughshod right over a beautiful tune.

MEMEMEMEME is all I can hear.

[beranbr]

Great example of how well the banjo and mandolin can sound together.

Though they are not playing slow, I don't really think they are playing that fast....definitely not enough to not recognize a tune. As far as the banjo goes, I doubt this recording represents truly the sound being heard. Plus the banjo isn't really known to be that dynamic. Most banjo players will back away from the mic when they want to be less heard, can't really do that all to well when sitting in a chair.

[banjome]

I love Noam but i do think he could be a touch quieter with his back up playing

[PadsterDood]

Great playing,......but if they slowed down a piece maybe you could recognise the tune....speed isn't everything...

[lgjones88]

@PadsterDood you obviously don't listen to bluegrass to much...i agree that speed isn't everything but this is the speed the song was intended to be played at and could actually be played faster, its a fiddle tune not a waltz...if you can't recognize the tune you should probably get your ears checked

[PadsterDood]

@lgjones88 , I've been playing and "listening" to bluegrass for nearly 40 years, theirs no question that these guys are excellent musicians and Big Sciota is meant to be played on the fast side,but if you think that this is a good recording of it I'd say that it's you that needs your ears checked.....perhaps the secret is to stick your tongue out whilst playing it.

[mandolin12348]

Noam needs to be quiet while Chris is playing

[v671]

i love how on noams first break he hits some of those licks making it sound distinctly irish.. amost like it was being played on a set of uillean pipes or a whistle or somethin..

[Knockdownbanjo]

nice

[lanerant]

totally unbridled genius!

[urfaceislolburn]

God this is so great I can hardly stand it. I love these guys. Amazing.

[cantstanga]

grey fox is the shit

[coitinsforyourocky]

I love how Noam makes his banjo sound, so laid back and so clear. And Chris was born to play a mandolin....

[fiddler291]

Chris was actually probably born playing a mandolin. He was considered one of the best in the nation at what, 12 or 13. Absolutely ridiculous.

[robstar67]

pritty awesome top notch really

so cool excellent playing

innovative talented musicians  cheers

[dougienancy]

JUST FANTATIC....

[urfaceislolburn]

Fantatic eh?

[oldcremona]

I dig the way the banjo player comp's without chording. Tight rolls and little bass lines- sounds great.

[mdlorenz]

great sound, but could use some exposere compensation.

[mandobaron]

wow. thats all i can say. i was sitting right up front when they were doing that. your camera does get fantastic sound. what kind is it? great vid. thanks for uploading

[fzdman]

Glad you dig it. Maybe I'll post some more from that workshop one of theses days. It was recorded on a plain ol' Sony Handycam.

[saullouis]

I was standing right next to the cameraman. Could not believe it when I found this video. WHat a great day.

[yautt]

[pipwalter7]
