What a great transition to get him talking about electric guitars. I think it's a mark of a well-rounded interview to not just talk about bluegrass centric topics but to explore a musicians full interests. It really makes for a complete interview and for a more complete profile of them Andy is a great interviewer to get that information. I found it to be fascinating
Many thanks to the Lessons with Marcel team for this excellent interview. Jake made me think about my playing in a different, better, way. I don’t have to think of my sour notes as necessarily wrong but just need to bring them back out of the weeds and keep moving. Both Andy and Jake are masterful musicians. Thanks for the great content.
Great interview! I’m ready for part II. The only way it could’ve been better was for Jake to show some of his “stock” licks or the speed bursts ideas. Y’all sounded great playing together too.
Jake is an excellent picker and teacher! Really enjoyed his teaching at Nashville Flatpick Camp in 2023! He has great insights and guidance. Now if I can only hold my pick correctly! ;-)
Of course, Tony was a favorite. I play by ear, self taught. I listen to Jake and think about busting my guitar. He's such a great person and musician. Complimentary of many people. I'm not past learning, but the theory stuff is past me. Thanks for this wonderful interview with one of today's best guitarist.
Yes! Jake is my favorite since i first caught that contest vid of him doing st. Annes reel . What a monster talent , technique, tone , creativity. Great to see him being noticed.
Y’all didn’t happen to post the full version of Salt Creek did ya? I love that last clip with the intertwining melody stuff. Almost a Dixieland approach. Andy is an insanely good, inventive guitarist.
I’m very new to bluegrass and I saw this guy playing with Ricky in Texas this year and I knew right then and there, I need to remember the name, Jake Workman because he is indeed a MONSTER.
His no-wrong-notes philosophy reminds me of Victor Wooten & Jimi Hendrix, Victor Wooten's whole thing is "no note is wrong you just played it poorly", and Jimi's was "you're always a half-step away from the note you should've hit, which is easily solved with a string bend" either way you can't hit a wrong note of you adjust your thinking & approach.
There’s a recording of Sam Bush giving him grief for not plugging in, to which Tony replies “this guitar belonged to Clarence White it don’t need no f-in cord!”
“If you aren’t making mistakes you aren’t practicing “. -JW. If this is true I practice every time I play.
Excellent interview.

So many bits of wisdom in this interview! Jake is so humble. “If you’re not making mistakes when you’re practicing, you’re not practicing”
Two incredible flatpickers! Very insightful interview. I’m constantly amazed at how Bill blurs the lines between major and minor
Great interview!! Jake is a great teacher. I took a Skype lesson with him a couple of years ago and he helped me out a TON.
Jake is a beast. Thanks guys for doing this great work for the bluegrass cominity. Cheers from Brazil!!
That was cool. Loved how Salt Creek was interlaced in whe the topics changed. Is the full version of them pickin that anywhere?
Great interview Andy. Ain't this bluegrass community great? Jake is so inspiring. Fun listening to both of you!
What a treat guys, thank you.

Both of you are terrific teachers (Nashville Flat Pick Camp). Great stuff. Great vid! Keep at it!
Dann Huff! Love his killer solo on "Place in This World"
Wonderful interview! Love the deeper dive into some of the mental aspects of the game

Great interview! Thank you Jake for doing us Utah pickers proud!
This is such a great interview-super insightful. I think this Jake guy knows what he's talking about!
Great interview/ conversation between two of my favorite pickers

Nice. Hes is an absolute monster Randy Savage picker. Thanks for the nugs. Great interview. What an awesome gentleman, and jedi guitar player.
Seen him live twice with Kentucky thunder, my favorite guitar player

Same feelings here, Jake is next level.
We'd like to know how his guitar is setup...string height... relief....etc...weird how he holds his pick hand and fingers
This interview is a treasure! Thank you
Jake is a great musicIan, a great teacher, and a great guy. One of the best doing it today, and probably ever.
Brilliant interview, really enjoyed it. Now to put down the mando and get the guitar!
Jake puts the frosty in the snowman Praise God. He’s smoother than a mcsmoothie, puts the sweets in berries, and the G in the run. Word.
lol
Thanks for posting this.

What a great interview! Thanks for this

Bends can't save you on an acoustic with medium strings though.😅

Talking about "plugging in", did Tony Rice ever plug in?
There’s a recording of Sam Bush giving him grief for not plugging in, to which Tony replies “this guitar belonged to Clarence White it don’t need no f-in cord!”
@JPM-NM Well, of course, Sam plays the mandolin, and it's janglely tone is hard to make worse! And, like Billy Strings, he likes to move around a lot.
Kentucky Thunder is without a doubt the most professional bluegrass band that I have ever heard...PERIOD!!
Andy and Jake together??? Is it my birthday?
He's unreal, and such a nice guy!
Wow so so useful!
That little full chromatic G lick, .... that one is gonna get some slow down and looping replay for a while...
Andy: "It's really hard for me to crosspick at a fast speed." Jake: "Me too." 😂😂😂
Us: no kidding! 😂
You’re gnarly for playing that first song in G 💀
Did you actually do this interview on lessons with Marcel? The granular scale master? 😂
Whats a granular scale master?
Yeahyeahyeah
nice. 21:19
This is hilarious.
Surely someone is going to transcribe Jake's "all twelve notes G lick?"
I already did… start with G and end with Gb
oh, the irony when jake says he doesn't transcribe!
@@EatonSomeMore and by someone I meant someone on Marcel's staff 😊 ruclips.net/user/shortsMqQFIGZxmqQ?si=EzUJcfooq8oImOju
🤣@@ryans.arnold3008
This guy said you would be better using your ear then transcribing. Lol well that's transcribing their bud lol. This guy is the typical rock guitarist
Whoopi Skaggs ? ? Did I hear that right when asked what band would make you move to Nashville ? ? HAAAAAAAAAAAA ! ! !
😇 P r o m o s m
This was inspiring but listening to this guy talk about guitar theory is kinda sad lol
The guy interviewing is a better player.
