You and your band are awesome! Where i live mandolin means strictly classical italian mandolin, so it was so cool to see the instrument under such a different light. Your music is so fun and energetic, couldn't stop tapping my foot. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
This all makes perfect sense, but I like how out of context you could say his explanation is "As a mandolin player in a bluegrass band, I'm the snare drum. To get started, I recommend playing some Bach."
This snare thing has blown my mind. As a guitar player, who fakes being a mando player, I've always thought of it as a melody machine. Learned so much from this.
@ryanhass8716 Oh dude I saw her live at Doc Watsons 100th birthday tribute show and she's insane!!!!Gave billy strings a good run for his money going back and forth with guitar solos. She's an absolute masterclass
I started watching this like "Heyyyy they got the same double bass dude back that was in the banjo episode", and then very quickly noticed that "THAT'S THE DUDE IN THE BANJO EPISODE"
Man... The jam session at 17:00 ish make me feel like im travelling all by myself, in the most beautifull landscapes known to man... Just me, my backpack, the strings and the sky. Music allways gets me very emotional, and that was it! Astonishing work!!
Theres nothing better than to listen to someone be unapologetically nerdy about a craft that they’ve put so much time and energy into. I came for the Banjo Slayer all those years ago, but I am absolutely staying for this series of musical crash courses.
There's just something about when a group of musicians are so in tune with one another 3:01 that one player can be literally on his steam deck but as soon as he hears he can connect, he does. It's awesome
At 12:08 Rob showed us just how good he was a guitar. Due to muscle memory or sheer intellect, he hit the low string and it rang out ever so quietly, and he immediatley muted the string entirely using with his thumb. Absolutely beautiful performance and showmanship, well done.
Gosh that improv song was just unreal! One time i met a mandolin player in a violin store (they had other instruments too) and jammed with him (because of watching your videos rob!) and they're just so beautiful! Somehow they're so underrated, just awesome instruments!
Dude these instrument / musician features never disappoint. It’s so fun to watch people show something they love. And Robs genuine curiosity adds another layer of intrigue. This was awesome.
The octave mando and the mandolin sounded super complementary. Not to mention the bass doing bass things and the little rolling feel the banjo gave. It was awesome
I love bluegrass and it really is. People like Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle have really opened younger people’s eyes to how sweet a genre it is, and in my personal opinion I think more young musicians want to play something different than the electric guitar rock our parents wanted to play when they picked up their first six string. That’s just how times change, and it’s always good to see more people pick up more folksy styles of playing and be able to appreciate it.
4:44 to extend what Jake said: one major reason for the mandolin to have pairs of string is to make it easier to do tremolo (to mimic the bow on a violin). In barock/classic music, tremolo plays a big role on the mandolin.
Plenty of people mentioned the banjo and bass players reading a book and playing on a Steam Deck. But I really enjoyed when I noticed the bass player breaking his cool reading role and starting to shake his foot to the rythm at 8:08 because that's when I started to tap my foot also 😂
wow, i am not a super experienced player (~2 years) and i have never had the chance to learn or try and jam with others but that jam at 17 minutes literally made me pick up my guitar and grove along with some of the g and c chords i know. i will never get tired of these types of videos, thank you rob
There is small part of my brain that is only scratched by listening to different instrument experts give props to Rob for being able to pick up their instrument so quick.
one of my favorite things about these videos is how much room you give the Context of the instrument to breathe, gives such a better understanding of the instrument and how it plays out in a band, as well as providing a slice of that culture or subculture it comes from. it's deeply human and it brings me out of the worst of moods to a genuine love for music again
That was a Nice way of explaining it to Rob-mando is the place where his guitar technique and his drumming sensibilities can truly meld. I hope he explores it more.
There's a Brazilian song called "Bandolins" (directly translates do Mandolins) by Oswaldo Montenegro, strongly recommend listening to it for anyone who likes the sound of this instrument.
I got an octave mandolin last year, and let me tell you, there is no better cheat code to getting other musicians to like you 🤣 I've written some singer-songwriter style tunes on it and played them at open mics, and the people there are SO tired of hearing acoustic guitar that they treat me as if I'm mozart himself. I've been invited to accompany people at shows and play on their albums, and I'm not even that great on the damn thing.
13:50 Banjo player was like, "hmmm sounds about the same to me...can't wait to see where this goes". LOL Great video and loved the energy from the dudes in the back.
Rob, you are such a great learner and these instrument explorations are my favorite thing on this channel. I love the passion the experts bring, and the jams are such a good time!
Rob I can’t tell you how much I love these videos. Watching you invite other musicians out and you guys just geeking out about their instrument is exactly the type of content I need in my life.
I'm a long-time metalhead and rocker from the south who recently gained a serious appreciation for classic country music and bluegrass, so this was incredible. Love the vocal harmonies as well.
the jamming with the whole band is some incredible stuff, i can’t imagine how cool it is to pick up a new instrument and almost immediately fitting right into a jam session!
Sooooooo good! Thanks Rob and all the crew involved in this series. Please don't stop! As long as there is a new instrument to be heard, just keep going!
I don't even play mandolin and I knew what that tone guard thing was instantly, just because I've played around with my acoustic guitar holding it against me vs not against me, and the difference in sound is quite noticeable when you are/aren't muting the back. Same with ukulele!
2:44 I love this guy 🤩 despite obviously being super talented, the way he humbly just shared a little snippet (so as not to be presumptive or impose) but then didn't need to be asked twice to fully go into it. That's true confidence and love of the craft right there -- he knows what kind of gift he's got, loves sharing it with anybody who's interested, and isn't the least bit concerned with proving it to anybody who isn't!
Rob, I just want to say how much I appreciate your deep love and knowledge of music-it's absolutely contagious. I love music theory, and your videos feel like a gateway into this incredible world that exists all around us in the form of sound. Seeing how it all fits together through your perspective is truly inspiring. You have a real gift for creating, and it shows in everything you do!
I feel like a lot of the times I don't like certain musical genres because people don't show off enough, so it's not very exciting. I love these series of videos because it's the instrument players actually getting to show off.
Absolutely, most people's first exposure to new genres of music is whatever profit-optimized generic inoffensive and uninspired thing gets played on the radio, in an elevator, or on hold.
These videos never miss, something so great about seeing passionate artists interacting with each other. The atmosphere is practically glowing with energy.
The bass was so necessary at the 17:00 jam. There were random triplets, dotted notes, testing then and lead, but it all made sense because of that bass pulse.
damn, that part at around 17:00 felt so much like a outer wilds song, that's amazing how much those instruments can either play extremely chill music and hyperactive bluegrass licks!
Henhouse Prowlers! LET'S FUZZIN GOOOOOO! 2 of my favorite worlds colliding! Henhouse Prowlers have performed worldwide as American musical embassadors of Bluegrass music and American roots in general.
I have never been into bluegrass, or mandolins, or banjos, but man is it great to see these people who are so good at what they do and hear them teach about the thing they love. Please keep making videos on any instrument out there!
Brought a much needed smile to my face and lough out load when the banjo player said it was all about the banjo. Great video - makes you want to pick up an instrument.
Love how all these banjos, mandolines and their brothers and sisters are all so versatile and technically complex. Meanwhile the bass in every genre and every single song just goes: beep bop beep bop beep bop beep bop. :D:D:D:D:D
Each time you begin to jam the mnity of people around the world take their musical instruments and connect to your improvisation. You may not hear this, but you are sure that it is so. Music amazing. Thanks for your work.
Rob, I love your channel. You do so many different styles of music. A little bit of my family history. My Grandpap was in a Blue Grass band. He could play mandolin, fiddle, banjo, a bit of guitar and harmonica(all self taught and he learned cover songs by ear). This was waaay back in the day, around the 1930s- 1940s. It was at a time where most towns and cities each had their own radio stations. Well my Grandpaps band would play live on these radio stations around the area, along with carnivals, fairs, festivals, dances, etc. They even played live on radio stations in New York state, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and I think Ohio. One of the biggest things they ever did was play at The Grand Old Opry. It was a kind of blue grass jamboree kind of thing with band from up and down the east coast. A guy who was scouting bands just happen to hear them live on the radio and invited them to play. And from them playing there my Grandpap and another guy were offered jobs as studio musicians in Nashville since they could both play multiple instruments. After a lot of thought he turned them down. He had a wife and everything in Pennsylvania. He never regretted it. He played in that band until his family and job needed all of his attention. He even taught himself architectural drafting and design(old school with slide rules, protractors, t-sguares, rulers, and other thing)and typing. All this from a man who only made it to 7th or 8th grade( he left school to work on the family farm). I just wanted to share this with you. Keep up the amazing job. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Bluegrass is my background..my granddaddy was a professional..he sat in Dolly Partons livin room and played for her personal entertainment right before she bought silver dollar city and made it dolly wood..he got to play with the dillards aka the darlings..but anyway he was a guitar picker and mandolin.. somehow I ended up left handed like my dad we both play mandolin and guitar upside down n backwards..we can't play a left handed instrument to save our lives.. aside from all that i Love you Rob brother and especially these awesome pickers you got on here..i never heard of them til you brought them on the channel
I fucking love how the guys at the back get a Steam Deck and a book out like they're at a doctor's office or something
...and still instantly jump in with the vocal harmonies.
Your games, everywhere... every... where.
I wish I had a bluegrass band near me ready to jump in a jam at all times.
If I win the lottery,
There’ll be signs.
@@robscallonhaha the dream that is❤😂
Haha! I will jump in on harmony while reading or playing a game EVERY time.
It was an honor to show you around the mandolin! I’ll be working on metal mandolin for the rest of this year, thank you 😈
Much love! Thank you for being wholesome and kind as Rob did
You and your band are awesome! Where i live mandolin means strictly classical italian mandolin, so it was so cool to see the instrument under such a different light. Your music is so fun and energetic, couldn't stop tapping my foot. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
@@TofuRabbit And where im from (Kentucky) this is the only way I heard it forever same with the "fiddle" lol
What is bluegrass if not the metal of folk music? (Folk metal notwithstanding)
that's the most fun I've seen with the mandolin since the first time I ever listened to Herschel Sizemore! Thank you guys!
I sincerely hope there’s an upright lesson to come from this session, would love to see more of these guys on the channel
*I spoke too soon*
You got it! One upright bass video coming up!
We shot it right after this one :)
bars
I could tell it was coming when I saw that white upright in the back
@@robscallon Let's gooooooo!!
Rob pulling out his usual Midwest Emo chords in a bluegrass setting just became a Punch Brothers song.
Scallon's law: Anything that can be Midwest emo will be Midwest emo.
This all makes perfect sense, but I like how out of context you could say his explanation is "As a mandolin player in a bluegrass band, I'm the snare drum. To get started, I recommend playing some Bach."
You didn't know Bach was a drumer ?
Sounds like a musical parody of the turbo encabulator 🤣
@@dancoroian1or some PDQ Bach stuff.
"Also, you have to decide whether to destroy Miami."
Thanks for having us Rob! You should play a show with us. ;)
The banjo was in Rob's video last year, right?
Yup! That was me!
Yes please! Would love to see it!
You guys know how to have fun :) ... cheers from a metalhead \m/
What uh.... were you playin? Out of curiosity
This snare thing has blown my mind. As a guitar player, who fakes being a mando player, I've always thought of it as a melody machine. Learned so much from this.
bluegrass is seriously so underrated, extremely groovy without any drums, and people just shredding it on acoustic instruments
Stumbled across Molly Tuttle just trying out some guitars a while ago and was absolutely floored.
The skill of these musicians is underrated also. Bluegrass folks have some serious chops.
True music of the people. Check out gypsy jazz - same idea
Watch some Sierra Hull live videos if you want to hear one of the best mandolin player
@ryanhass8716 Oh dude I saw her live at Doc Watsons 100th birthday tribute show and she's insane!!!!Gave billy strings a good run for his money going back and forth with guitar solos. She's an absolute masterclass
I started watching this like "Heyyyy they got the same double bass dude back that was in the banjo episode", and then very quickly noticed that "THAT'S THE DUDE IN THE BANJO EPISODE"

The most emotional few minutes of my day right there 💖
I almost wish they would release that on spotify or something bro it was insane
I came to comment about that.. best part of the video for sure.
Same feeling! Beautiful
The octave mando jam was incredible, it's like Rob and Jake have been playing together for years!
Theres nothing better than to listen to someone be unapologetically nerdy about a craft that they’ve put so much time and energy into.
I came for the Banjo Slayer all those years ago, but I am absolutely staying for this series of musical crash courses.
These guests need a bigger shout-out in the description.
Oh absolutely!
Slipped my mind
On it now 🤘
17:45 my brain melted from joy at this exact moment. I looooove bluegrass!
that's what got me to press like instantly
It was contagious, stuff like this is why I always have an acoustic guitar near my desk to join in (and I did.) Music is just the best.
1:49 "Mandolins are tricky for trying to play solo"
Rob: ... and I took that personally
There's just something about when a group of musicians are so in tune with one another 3:01 that one player can be literally on his steam deck but as soon as he hears he can connect, he does. It's awesome
😂GREAT JOB GUYS !!!!! FANtastic ! Learned more in 10 min than inexpressible time. Keep on Trucking' 🌹❤ 🦋 ❤️🌹
I loved that moment. Didn't even look at each other and they all came in at once
The jam sesh around the @17:00 mark got me misty-eyed. So good!
Banjo guy pulling out a Steam Deck is my hero.
This series is a national treasure! You capture not just the "how" of different musical instruments, but also, crucially, they "why."
1:32 Banjo player in the back just casually pulling out a Steam Deck in the middle of filming a video. Love to see it. 🤣
There's multiple videos where they pull this gag :P I believe in one they're playing chess 😂
At 12:08 Rob showed us just how good he was a guitar. Due to muscle memory or sheer intellect, he hit the low string and it rang out ever so quietly, and he immediatley muted the string entirely using with his thumb. Absolutely beautiful performance and showmanship, well done.
Gosh that improv song was just unreal!
One time i met a mandolin player in a violin store (they had other instruments too) and jammed with him (because of watching your videos rob!) and they're just so beautiful!
Somehow they're so underrated, just awesome instruments!
For anyone wondering, the song at 2.37 isn't an original song, it's a cover of a bluegrass standard - Nellie Kane by Tim O'Brien and Hot Rize
Right. I was wondering if that was a bad edit or what.
8:10 love the foot going while reading in the background
Dude these instrument / musician features never disappoint. It’s so fun to watch people show something they love. And Robs genuine curiosity adds another layer of intrigue. This was awesome.
As a bluegrass musician who's been watching your videos for years this makes me very happy! I hope more people get into this amazing genre!
The octave mando and the mandolin sounded super complementary. Not to mention the bass doing bass things and the little rolling feel the banjo gave. It was awesome
I feel like bluegrass is having a resurgence recently, and I'm loving it!
I love bluegrass and it really is. People like Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle have really opened younger people’s eyes to how sweet a genre it is, and in my personal opinion I think more young musicians want to play something different than the electric guitar rock our parents wanted to play when they picked up their first six string.

Always a raucous time with the Henhouse Prowlers. Love how good the vibes are.

So after watching you learn bluegrass, I think the only logical next step is to go with mariachi! I’d love to see you shred on a bajo quinto!
The fact that we're progressively seeing all the members of Henhouse Prowlers, I dig it
That was a Nice way of explaining it to Rob-mando is the place where his guitar technique and his drumming sensibilities can truly meld. I hope he explores it more.
As a mandolinist, it was so so cool getting to see you learn about my favorite instrument and where I began my musical journey some 16 years ago!
There's a Brazilian song called "Bandolins" (directly translates do Mandolins) by Oswaldo Montenegro, strongly recommend listening to it for anyone who likes the sound of this instrument.
Mandolins in Brazilian Portuguese being "Bandolins" is a special kinda funny, and I love it.
I also recomend checking out a "choro" mandolin brazillian artist called Hamilton de Holanda, the guy's a beast in mando
Man these guys are awesome, love the chemistry
I'm a lifelong guitarist that just got gifted a mandolin. This is perfect timing!
Bluegrass is the only that can make me feel joy, sorrow, and beauty at the same time
I got an octave mandolin last year, and let me tell you, there is no better cheat code to getting other musicians to like you 🤣 I've written some singer-songwriter style tunes on it and played them at open mics, and the people there are SO tired of hearing acoustic guitar that they treat me as if I'm mozart himself.

Playing the banjo has done the same for me! I’m def wanting to get an octave mandolin now tho
@@lilmint1575 I've got the Eastman MDO305 (same one Rob uses in this video) and highly recommend it.
@@dflosounds thank you!!!
13:50 Banjo player was like, "hmmm sounds about the same to me...can't wait to see where this goes". LOL
Great video and loved the energy from the dudes in the back.

It is incredible how talented everyone in this room is. Great video and superbly entertaining.
Rob I can’t tell you how much I love these videos. Watching you invite other musicians out and you guys just geeking out about their instrument is exactly the type of content I need in my life.
For anyone wondering the piece in 2:00 Is Violin Sonata 1 by Bach
I'm a long-time metalhead and rocker from the south who recently gained a serious appreciation for classic country music and bluegrass, so this was incredible. Love the vocal harmonies as well.
Have never been much of a fan of country or blue grass but anytime I hear a mandolin I know it’s gonna be a good song.
One of the best things in the world: guys having fun making music together.
the jamming with the whole band is some incredible stuff, i can’t imagine how cool it is to pick up a new instrument and almost immediately fitting right into a jam session!
These videos make me so happy. Thank you all!
Sooooooo good! Thanks Rob and all the crew involved in this series. Please don't stop! As long as there is a new instrument to be heard, just keep going!
As a mandolin player, I was shaking my head just like that at 14:00
I don't even play mandolin and I knew what that tone guard thing was instantly, just because I've played around with my acoustic guitar holding it against me vs not against me, and the difference in sound is quite noticeable when you are/aren't muting the back. Same with ukulele!
2:44 I love this guy 🤩 despite obviously being super talented, the way he humbly just shared a little snippet (so as not to be presumptive or impose) but then didn't need to be asked twice to fully go into it. That's true confidence and love of the craft right there -- he knows what kind of gift he's got, loves sharing it with anybody who's interested, and isn't the least bit concerned with proving it to anybody who isn't!
As a metalhead I gotta say that I utterly enjoyed you guys Jamming around!
Rob, I just want to say how much I appreciate your deep love and knowledge of music-it's absolutely contagious. I love music theory, and your videos feel like a gateway into this incredible world that exists all around us in the form of sound. Seeing how it all fits together through your perspective is truly inspiring. You have a real gift for creating, and it shows in everything you do!
This might be my favourite instrument spotlight video you've done
The piece with the octave mandolin was absolutely insane bro
Rob is like Avatar Aang and I’m over here like Kitara “you’re so naturally gifted!” It’s awesome how you can just pick up things.
I feel like a lot of the times I don't like certain musical genres because people don't show off enough, so it's not very exciting. I love these series of videos because it's the instrument players actually getting to show off.
Absolutely, most people's first exposure to new genres of music is whatever profit-optimized generic inoffensive and uninspired thing gets played on the radio, in an elevator, or on hold.
unlikely that I would ever select such music to listen to ‘on my own’, and yet, ….. I utterly enjoyed this.
You can tell Rob loves music so much. That's why i'm subbed.
After that bit @20:15 I'm going to need to request more metal mandolin. Awesome dudes and awesome playing, I can't wait to see the upright bass video
In the 1920's and 30's National built metal-bodied resonator mandolins; it doesn't get more "metal" than that!
These videos never miss, something so great about seeing passionate artists interacting with each other. The atmosphere is practically glowing with energy.
The bass was so necessary at the 17:00 jam. There were random triplets, dotted notes, testing then and lead, but it all made sense because of that bass pulse.
I'm a guitarist and just started the mandolin a week ago. It's a super fun instrument and I love it!
I always love the sound of mandolin, it sounds like a more crisp version of the ukulele. Great video as usual, Rob. 😁
damn, that part at around 17:00 felt so much like a outer wilds song, that's amazing how much those instruments can either play extremely chill music and hyperactive bluegrass licks!
Henhouse Prowlers! LET'S FUZZIN GOOOOOO! 2 of my favorite worlds colliding!

Can't get enough of videos like this. Thanks, Rob.
God hearing the talent in this is just unreal and makes me just enjoy music more
Love to see the love for bluegrass. Ive noticed that it is very much a musicians genre.
Each time you begin to jam the mnity of people around the world take their musical instruments and connect to your improvisation. You may not hear this, but you are sure that it is so. Music amazing. Thanks for your work.
Oh man, I love your video's so much! Thanks, Rob!
Love it! I’ve been playing mandolin since I was 16 and it was a real pleasure to see it featured here.

I'm so happy so you exploring instruments again. Keep the head up, Rob. You are enough as you are.
dude, perfect timing. Just got my first one two weeks ago. Coming from the guitar, it's been a lot of fun.
Led Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones also played mandolin on "The Battle of Evermore" and "Goin to California" !
Fun fact: JPJ owns a coveted February 18, 1924 Lloyd Loar F5 mando that is one serial number away from the one owned by mandolin genius Chris Thile.
These videos with the Henhouse Prowlers give me such a sense of joy, smiling the whole time. Love it!
The vibes are so real... this video > therapy
Dude, these videos! I just keep smiling all the way through! We love you Rob for doing this!
I love these types of videos you make man, Theyre so genuine and fun to watch.
NO WAY, I HAVE THAT SAME MANDOLIN (Rob's) I am a mandolin player myself. I also love how you brought out the octave mandolin that is sick!
These shows are always so delightful and joyous. Don't know how else to say it.
I’m not typically a bluegrass or mandolin fan but I’ve been listening to this ending jam session over over it is epic.
Music is a universal language. I love seeing how much fun everyone has when playing with Rob.
Whith the amount of love you spread in this world you deserve nothing but happiness
y'all are great teachers! so cool seeing how the bluegrass sound gets put together
"It's all about the banjo" made me laugh real hard. 16:16
I love how one of my favorite local bands ends back up on this channel!
The Jurassic Park bit was so silly and wholesome, I love it
