That’s another nice version, but I like the energy of the Stanley Bros.
I wouldn’t say I have that guitar part worked out exacty, but I believe I could fake it at a jam.
Favorite Video to Play Along With
Here’s the closest I could work it out. Now to figure out how to play it at speed.

Just wanted to point out in the 2nd video that there was another da’gone banjeer picker that would not give the dobro the room needed to be heard. come on!
It pains me to defend a banjo player, but if the mic is attached to the camera, it may be that the banjo sounds loud just because it is so close to camera. The camera person is pointing straight across the banjo to the dobro.

I agree…however, being how banjer players never know what is going on I can see he didn’t know any better. But if he had good practic habits in toning it down a bit when someone was taking a break then it would not have mattered :mrgreen:
Nice Larry! I’m going to attempt to learn that. I’ve had that in my head all week long. Heard a live version this week on Bluegrass Junction but the guitar wasn’t the same.

I worked on it some last week, too. I even played it at last weekend’s jam. Thanks for posting the video.
Playing note-for-note, I’ve managed to work up the intro break to about 210 bpm, but when I switch over to steady tremolo picking and just follow the general pattern with my left hand (rather than note-for-note), I can pick up another 50 bpm or so. Not so fast as the Stanleys, but in the ballpark, at least.
I’m not really playing along with this, but I wish I could. Tyler Grant is a pretty darn fast.
He makes it look effortless.
Yes! Good stuff Larry.
I’ve been getting into this video lately. I think Thile/Daves is my favorite way for Thile to perform right now. Love those bass runs that Daves adds and the great energy from both guys.
Thile and Daves are awesome together. I need to support their efforts by buying their music. I have listened to them many times on uTube. They have some great performances on there. Daves is a monster. Thile’s not to shabby either.
I enjoyed those all immensely, The one I liked the best was Sawing on the strings and it was the music but more than that it was the good time they were having playing . You can listen but to see their faces and none of it was put on. If heaven had of come they would have to wait on the ending . The smiles are it . WOW! I think I had a smile like that when we had oue Christmas party in 2013. I sure enjoyed and I played till I could not any more . Keep them strings humming brothers and sisters.
I’ve been jamming out to this one lately. Such a great song and does a pretty decent job crossing over into grass.
Fiddler takes a nice break!

Sounds like a Waylon Jennings song.
Watched this band on song of the mountains last night and several personnel have changed. Different fiddle and Bass players at the least.
That’s a cool song. The last time I saw the Travelin McCourys they did a really nice bluegrass version with Jason Carter on vocals.
Waylon covered this song and made it known. Actually a Steve Young song.
My favourite playalong at the moment is this one (being mainly a fiddle/geetar player it has huge appeal … be warned though its addictive and there is over an hour of it …
That’s some good playing. It looks like the guy on the left is playing a voyage air guitar. It sounds pretty good for a travel guitar.
