Not that I know of. I’ve never been there but I don’t think so. I’m sure I’ll get lots of videos though!

Wow that is just great. The way you did that that chord section was not what i expected but boy howdy it sure sounded awesome. I don’t think i could find anything to critique so just play it in the contest as good as you did here and your golden! Good luck at Galax!

I appreciate that @Shaky_loves_banjo! I’m sure the challenge will be playing it onstage exactly like I can play it at home. :laughing:

Isn’t that how it always is? I don’t really play better on stage but i will say i enjoy playing on stage. The biggest problem for me is not playing good, but my hands getting sweaty :grimacing: A sure sign of nervousness.

Haha. Comparing me to Jake is like comparing someone who doesn’t know their open strings to Tommy Emmanuel. That’s the most insane video ever; believe me I’ve watched that one a time or two! :sweat_smile:

Errrrr are you implying that Jake is that much better than Tommy? Not trying to start any controversy or anything :zipper_mouth_face: :no_mouth: I love them both for the record.

And yes, I know it’s a joke. :joy::joy:

No controversy but yes he is, he’s the best player alive no comparisons anywhere.

Have you seen or heard Jake’s new guitar from Quebec Canada? I think he is breaking it in and hasn’t done a video with it yet. Can’t wait for the reveal. Any insider intel?

The last few lessons I’ve had with him, he’s been playing it. Sounds good but I think a cardboard guitar would sound better than me with mine with him. Someone recently posted a video of him playing it, I’ll see if I can find the link

Jake or Tommy is the best player alive?
