It’s amazing what five fingers can do with six strings!

So much great playing!
Holten (1st place) is a really really good mandolinist as well. The Doucettes are all very skilled and also great guys.

I’m glad someone got a video of this!! I really wanted to see the winning videos when I saw it on Bluegrass Today. Can’t wait to watch it.

I was on the Doucettes’ website and it says Holten has studied with Jake. Guess that’s his secret! :slight_smile:

Watching this now. It’s great!!! Justus Ross’s arrangements are packed with Jake’s licks. I know because Jake has taught me some of those same ones. I wonder if he studies with him or just copies him on YouTube.
