WOW,,,I got-ta play that over, God bless you young lady. Im 70 yrs old & lve been "messing" with a guitar for most of my life until a few yrs ago ( arthrites stop`ed that ) but l could never come close to playing like you. I`ll bet Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed, & a lot more are smileing down at you. l wish you the very best of luck...

[Scuddog999]

Can't get enough of this one. That's fine. I'll listen to it over and over again :-)

[arbee49684]

Outstanding! Very, very nice!

Great Cet's playing galloping

[hatlatschka]

geil



[markac60]

Fantastic playing, great guitar and you look beautiful!

Please tell me how you learned to play like this. I have tried the alternate base note thing many times, but just can't get my thumb to be "independent". Any special drills or easier songs you can recommend?

Thanks for putting this and your other videos on YouTube - I'll keep coming back.

[olafbigandglad]

are you tuned down?

[busker12]

Open G tuning. It may be sharp or flat. I didn't have a tuner with me.

[olafbigandglad]

@busker12 ah. thank you.

[olafbigandglad]

are you tuned down?

[olafbigandglad]

are you tuned down?

[olafbigandglad]

are you tuned down?

[MelosAntropon]

Flawlessly played! But I miss the sound of the Gretsch Filter-trons. To my ears, they beat the cold sounding Gibson hums every day of the week. Not a popular opinion, I know, but I've been playing 45 years, and I'm entitled to my opinion. But again - GREAT playing!

[MelosAntropon]

@MelosAntropon : Ooops - on second glance, it's a P-90! Duh. But I still like the Filter-trons.

[donottawaguitar]

wow you rock that gibson .and its a right thing to

[thechetpicker]

Great tune and played really well. Thanks for posting this.

[maurieer]

I've got several words on my mind to describe your playing.

AWESOME, FANTASTIC, etc.

I just love Chet's playing and have been a fan of his since 1953.

Keep up the fantastic playing.

[x95959]

Ok, I'm a subscriber now, you're great!

[11Kralle]

There is a certain message in the background:

`Dont touch the amp!´

[dudeacus]

You are an extremely talented young lady! Glad I found your channel. Definitely a fan.

[TheHspradlin]

Macyn:  Wow! You did a great job with this tune. I would very much like to hear more of your fingerstyle picking. Guitarthumper.

Wow!! Your Black Mountain Rag made goose pimples run down my spine. What a talent. You may not be the best but I've never heard anything better. I've got to go now. I've got to listen to your Black Mountain Rag one more time before I close. Well, maybe twice more.

The guitar is a peach and the story behind it is so moving. Good for you for keeping his spirit alive- really enjoyed this!

[millertwang]

Good playing. I like your style.

[bffjandjeans]

Love the bluejeans and bare feet at the .30 through .50 second mark.

A nice job on the song too.

[CluvVenny]

[Frank42]

Macyn,

I really enjoy your playing! I know Chet and his family would be so impressed by you musical phrasing and by your beautiful, sunny smile! Have you been to CAAS? And if not, give me a scream and I will help you get an invitation!

Please let me know if I can be of any help to you in your future musical endeavors.

John McClellan

[Nesh16041972]

Wow, that was really cool playing, very well done and very enjoyable to watch!!

[beeknave]

Nice! together with other the other numbers I have seen of yours. What is your background? Are you interested in Classical guitar?

[jimbo9580]

what a fitting tribute to a fallen hero

[24906053]

Macyn,

This is the first time I've heard you play, you do a beautiful job on this old tune. Chet would be proud of you as am I, you sound great.

Hugh Busby

[acountrygent]

sorry folks but Leo did Not write Black Mt Rag, It's an old fiddle tune written probably before Leo was born. Good job on chet's arrangement though. Saw a couple of her other vids.  VERY nice playing.

[1catbob]

Macyn your playing just keeps getting better and better all the time. I enjoyed this video a lot. That must be a "dairyland" tractor in the background :) Where did you get that Gibson? Pretty nice. Best wishes to you.

~Bob

[busker12]

I got this guitar from the father of a deceased Vietnam War veteran. It was his son’s. Captain Ronald Alan Ross was killed in battle on October 31, 1969. I played this guitar at a veteran’s memorial dedication in his home town with an actual rubbing from the wall displayed on the guitar. Not a dry eye in the park. I have physical possession of this guitar, but spiritual ownership is still the Captain’s.

[1catbob]

@busker12 Oh, that is so very special, Macyn. Thank you so much for passing along this info. What a treasure you have and it is meaningful to me, too. I was sailing around Vietnam on a Navy ship when Captain Ross was killed (yes, I'm THAT old).

[marinenut68]

Another job well done Macyn!!

[cjwaywell]

That's awesome the look the sound the background the guitar and you - well done to you and the cameraman

[spikeri812]

SweeeeeeT !!!! and finally a piece with an electric guitar, nicely produced GREAT background , and this time the camera person got the before and after smile !!!

[srefvik]

Great playing! And I agree about the tractor. A Ferguson I think :)

[iamJurjen]

Hi Macyn, always great to see new guitar work from you! Very nice Gibson archtop you have there. Gonne rewind and play again, can't get enough. Any plans to travel to Europe?

[mapaste]

Bravissima.

Mario.

[zeynioglu]

Great:))

[guitarquejamais]

excellent vid and great guitar & playin' ! You're right, the tractor is an added value too !

[leighbenham82]

Great playing :-)

[jkilcull]

Is it just me...or are you getting cuter and cuter with age?

Oh yeah...great playing too!!!

[bndeyo]

I've enjoyed lots of your videos, but maybe none so much as this one- Everything about this is delightful!

[iakentdoz]

Love that sweet steel sound, keep up the good work.

[Theboywhostayedover]

Nice Video Macyn...looks like you are having fun :-).

...But for me,the music lacks dianamics and tone variation in the right hand.

Busk on !

Simon

[Fingerstyle123]

Macyn, you are a fantastic player! You can tell in your playing that you love what you do.

[rangerray1965]

So cool Macyn! Haha, a tractor is seen driving by in the reflection in the window at about 1:35...couldn't be more perfect!

[KyThumb]

Hey Macyn you'er getting to my heart now,,one of my favorite tunes,,I love it ...KOP...your friend ..Bill

[jmcosmos]

"Black Mountain Rag" is actually an amalgam of the first half of Keith's "Black Mountain Blues" with the second half of his "Clinch Mountain Blues." According to Keith, another fiddler put the two half-tunes together because he couldn't play the second half of "Black Mountain Blues."

I have recordings of both original tunes on a long-ago vinyl LP, the only one Leslie Keith ever made.

[TheBanjoguy2]

hi, Macyn awesome playing! & electric!

thx!! "beautiful", & you!!

[barscotch]

The busker goes electric! Sweet! I've loved your work since I found you on here a couple years ago. You are brilliant, so keep it up!
