    What Wyatt has got in a handful of years I’ve not been able pick up in decades, it’s enough to (almost) make me hand up my mandolin and settle for just listening to great music. I just never figured out how some people play with that level of fluidity and ease, that mandolin really sings.

    Great video. It's amazing how much young people are pushing the boundaries of musical performance.
    The Peace Center is a great venue. It's named after Mr. Bony Peace, publisher of the Greenville News in the early 1900s.
    FWIW, the building in the background at 6:30 is part of the Governor's School for the Arts.

    Great advice, fascinating interview and a wonderful little duet. So many great musicians cite playing along to recordings, and I wonder if that’s self selecting because my impression is it takes so much work and ability to be able to do that- though these days with RUclips looping and slowing tools it’s a bit more accessible!

    Wyatt moves his right arm mainly from his wrist, David from his elbow. I’m sure personal style/preference determine which joint is used to move the pick. Please share your thoughts on this.

    Thanks! Great stuff. A general question you might have already covered somewhere: All of these top notch players have a lot of speed and clean picking. Do they set their mandos up with low action or what do you recommend?
