[dben7257]

love this tune and watching this video... you guys are so tastefully musical. The impromtu pickin' jams are the best. Thanks for posting this.

[elijahtiner]

Incredible as always 

[freetickeys]

[mountnmonkey]

Great pickin' there men...very nice..

[fngrpkn06]

I truly enjoyed this rendition, Awesome!!

[proverbs2221]

Love it!

[fevkin50]

That was finger-pickin' good

[ooglebydoogleby]

Yeh baby

[rtclark222]

This is Music! Start with a theme, dance it out, swap licks, the just fly! Best of tradition and best of improvisation.

[ultfishrman]

does anyone know the chords theyre playing. I know the basic D and G and the run back into D, im talking about the B part chords that Brad is playing :21-:27

[hempnotapimp]

D--Em--F#m--G--Bm--A--G

He's in drop D, so maybe that's why it was tough to pick them out.

I like to play a D/F# to substitute the F#m. It's a little smoother (in my opinion)

[snapperjohn1000]

i realy like this version of this piece even though it strays some from the original melody in the bridges and the long rides i flat pick and thumb pick this song in g and drop d english tuneing also i have created my own arrangements by listening to sutch great players a these two

[PACARTNEY]

absolutely wonderful !

paco from spain

[deepdiver51]

Breathtaking!!

[punchion]

Guys that is some of the nicest guitar playing I have ever witnessed! I could listen to you fellas all day!I just loved the improv.

[BJ1047]

This is so good! What model Breedlove is Tim playing?

[Greenguitarist8]

I'm noticing something that Bryan Sutton talked about in his Secrets for Sucessful Flatpicking. When Tim goes up the neck, Brad simplifies his rhythm and basically starts playing the bass. Interesting and powerful concept. Good stuff, good stuff...

[Greenguitarist8]

Wow. That's inspiring.  Beautiful...

[Kikalani]

Fantastic palying and imaginative rendition.

[altonelliott]

Awesome

[flatpick650]

much love

thx for the inspiration

[vibrasonic99]

Awesome pickers and awesome tune......I love most treatments of this song. These two have obviously become bored with it, they've strayed so far from the song that it's only Angeline The Baker in a few spots.

[vibrasonic99]

Seriously, start the song at 1:15 and tell me one single part of it for the next two minutes that sounds remotely close to Angeline The Baker.

[gatoryak]

Yeah, BUT: If one lets go of the familiar "Angeline the Baker" at the same point, he/she can be open to enjoy an superb guitar duet.

Given the audience and the context of this performance, I imagine the experience of being there was awesome.

[nickw66]

very cool .Tim outplayed brad here,but both very good.Never get bored watching this video.TYVM for posting.

[Poneutria]

And his dobro playing is just as good.

[Poneutria]

Have picked with Tim many times at my father-in-law's house. You should hear his banjo and mandolin picking. He is unbelievable. He is a really nice guy too. I do miss Crucial Smith.

[Jollyboy11]

This might be the best video on YouTube

[maxneu]

Man, I seriously cant stop watching this. Are you guys playing any where anytime soon?

[1ArtfulBodger]

Best version on youtube....makes me wanna dance.

[trevorm1]

the new acoustic guitar mag for dec.2008, has the tab and note on this tune.

[maxneu]

my god, tim may is my new favorite guitar player

[stevej526]

You should play with him in person! Even more incredible! Tim and I are friends and play together often, or I should say he plays and I sit with my mouth gaping! You can't believe how musical he is.

[maxneu]

Man, you're a lucky guy. I would probably end up feeling like a kid playing a toy guitar if I played with guys like this.

[Terrapindreamr]

This a fantastic version.. thanks for sharing. I'm a beginning fiddle player, and hope to be able to learn to accompany this.

[batesm]

Love that double down up.

[UncleVRoy]

WOW

JUST

WOW

[MattZawacki]

Billy should see this Johnny. Its amazing.

[UncleVRoy]

Truly!

[MTVstudio1]

Bravo folks! Keep up the great music.

Fm your friends at MTVstudio1

[tommybball46]

Woosh! My fingers hurt and my head's numb!

[WilMaring]

I love this. This is one of the best versions I have heard. But I know you guys are just kinda making this up as you go along, and next time I see you, and I holler this out, you'll come up with another completely different but just as good version. Thanks for this.

[wahunga]

Do we really need any more proof that our best musicians are NOT household names?

[banjoman12348]

do you got tabs

[we552003]

Yep, it's the S. Foster tune, but it's been played in old time music circles for so many years that the name gradually became known both ways. Nonetheless, nice playing.

[jocwalk]

It's sort of like the fiddle tune "Sally in the Garden" which was originally "Sally in the Garden A' Sifting Sand" which some came to call "Sally in the Garden Assisting Sam." No one's sure who Sam was or what kind of assistance Sally provided but she was there to sift sand.

[jocwalk]

Am I nuts or is the title of this song not "Angelina Baker" from Stephen Foster in 1850? I don't think baked goods come into play.

[KennWV]

its either angelina baker, or angeline the baker, its called either one.

[jocwalk]

The song was originally written and titled as "Angelina Baker" over 150 years ago so I'm not sure where "the baker" came from. Then again, Tony Rice screwed up the lyrics to "The Old Home Place" when he played with J. D. Crowe as that was a cover of the old Dillards song.

[Piper146]

Now that's the way an acoustic guitar is supposed to be played.

[dcord123]

(thud)....that was me fallig off my chair...you guys need to take it easy on an old man....none better period. :o)

[mandolingirl31]

This is so great! I've never heard a better version of this song! Keep it up!

[iizabunghole]

I love this song! I love the version
