I mean honestly, this is lame. I can play way better than this. Ricky needs to go find some real pickers. Maybe someone that dosen’t have to crawl through the song. Even walking speed would be better than this.
Honestly @BanjoBen, we need Jake and Russ in the cabin to teach some speed building. I want to hear their secrets. In the mean time, listen to this sweet picking over and over until you can play like they can.

I mean, I bet that guy doesn’t even sight read!
Ya no kidding lol
He saws a mean fiddle too 
The first time I saw this video I became a huge Michael Cleveland fan. This video of Bluegrass Breakdown is my favorite but I really love this performance of Sally Goodin with Billy Strings. The video is long but the second fiddle solo is so incredible (the second fiddle solo starts at about the 4:30 mark on the video). I don’t know how he makes that fiddle the way it does.
He give that secret away in the previous video when he says’ “When I was real little - I collected up all the arrangements I could find”
I had plans during my school district’s spring break in 2020 to see Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper at the Station Inn. Well, that was the end of March 2020 so that didn’t happen. One day I will see a live performance from them!
@Stuart.Gamble
They were great live, got lucky & saw them (& RSKT) play in fall of 2019 at our local (abt 40 mins away) bluegrass festival. Had an awesome weekend!
This years lineup looks good too, they’ve got Dailey & Vincent, Doyle Lawson/Quicksilver, Jimmy Fortune, & Volume Five.
