Chris Thile (of Nickel Creek) - Bluegrass Guitar Solos

obviously, Chris Thile is a virtuoso at the mandolin, but what i wasn't expecting was that the rest of his band would be absolutely phenomenal (as you can see from these solos). really, i mean, just tremendous. Bryan Sutton is the guitar player. incredible.

(this was at the Belcourt Theater in Nashville, TN) (sorry about the camera rotation there. i forgot you can't turn your monitor 90°)

surprised that a virtuoso has phenomenal players in his band?...hmmm, who did you think he would pick to play with him? :)

@StimpoTube touche. i suppose i just didnt expect them to shine as brightly as him at any given time :)

[joshman800000000]

well it may be the guys from Punch Bros, but they were not referring to themselves as such at the time. i was just noting that, at the time of this recording, Chris Thile was more "from Nickel Creek" than "from Punch Bros."

If you say Thile sucks you apparently do not know anything about music.

Also its so funny to hear such a clean solo from Chris when he looks so ruffled and bedraggled like that. The shirt makes me laugh. XD

His fingers are too fast for the camera

@habertree Absolutely. You are 100% correct. I was simply referencing Chris Thile with Nickel Creek when I posted this because at that time (2006), he was best known for his role in Nickel Creek. So... for the record, I am completely aware that this is not Nickel Creek :)

@joshman800000000 This group was called the "How to Grow a Band," with Bryan Sutton on guitar instead of Chris Eldridge; that's the only thing that makes this not the Punch Brothers. Nickel Creek had siblings Sara and Sean Watkins on fiddle and guitar, respectively. Both of them are absent here; so while this is not the Punch Brothers, it's definitely not Nickel Creek, either. (source: wikipedia)

Thanks for the video, though. Awesome picking!

punch brothers apart from the guitarist.nickel creek had a woman on the fiddle. only the best play with the best
