Chris Thile embodies such a stunning combination of artistry, soul, and fierce technical mastery. Such a joy to hear him. I'm happy he's on this planet with us.
What an astonishing performance. My mind was doubly boggled when he ventured up beyond the twelfth fret into what I think of as no-man's land tiny fret-spacing world, and shredded up there as well. The man's talent never ceases to amaze. Thank you Mr. Thile... your spirit is such an inspiration.
yes. beyond the 12th fret is just jaw dropping, but I think all in all, just the arrangement is most astonishing. Not that we hae to rank them. He does so many things well. Wow.
I don’t know how I missed this 3 years ago but I’m glad I found it today. Probably the greatest mandolin player to ever hold a pick and in a class with geniuses like Mozart as an overall musician. It’s a pleasure and honor to hear him play.
@@jeffhrsn OK, here's a stab, but I have SO many favorites. I think most would cite Waltz About Whiskey as maybe their most well-known and beloved - and I am totally in that camp too - but my top 3 are: Cavalry, Jump Mtn. Blues, and One More Down.
.... I wish I could send Chris a mental hug for every time I've been blasted away by his music. Maybe I should just start sending him a dollar instead :D
Most excellent. I admit I thought upping the tempo might come off sounding rushed but on some super human level Chris manages to sing out leisurely and relaxed while playing mandolin at mach speed. Just amazing.
Hello Chris, you got me, you got me..... from the first note from your mandolin and the first tone out of your mouth, when you began to sing! Incredible, absolutely incredible.... God bless you and stay safe and well too!
Love you for doing this, Chris. To quote author/RUclipsr and fellow beacon of internet wholesomeness John Green (who was quoting Robert Frost), "The only way out is through, and the only way through is together." Cheers.
One of, if not, the greatest mandolinists of all time! More people need to see what the mandolin can do. It’s not just a “bluegrass” instrument. It’s so much more. Keep pushing the boundaries, Chris.
So heart warming seeing the artists stranded like the rest of us, reaching out. Enough walls already. And, I do love watching Chris teaching mandolins how to play.
OMG! What a great performance. It is absolutely outstanding how fast, accurate, precise and pristine you are, playing the mandolin. Thank you Chris Thile for inspiring all of us.
The particular thing about this performance is that it far transcends a mere display of technical mastery (that’s a big “mere”, I know, but, relatively speaking, mere nevertheless). Rather, it’s a performance of great soul-satisfying depth. Somehow the meager circumstances, an impromptu solo performance at home recorded on a cellphone, make it all the more appealing.
Chris, I tapped back in to this video tonight, and I'll say, it really helped me. I think I'm the only person in the WORLD who would call 2020 the best year of their life, but I got lucky and had some real great things happen to me that year. But, now that I'm struggling, I look back to moments like these when you were reaching across the Awesome void and trying to reconnect with our fellow human beings, and NAILING it... I didn't need this then, but I do now, and I'm so grateful. :)
You always did lift me up. Then when I moved to Nashville I was briefly a neighbour of Noam also, I met him first when he was rescuing an abandoned dog form our local dog park. I hope both of you and all of yours are well.
I was put off by the speed first, but I think now that I've heard and seen this, this was the perfect way to play this song in these particular times. Hard times.

Even the mandolin didn’t know it could do that.
So funny and true .
Hahahaha
👏👏👏👏 😄😄
Fast but is it as fast as Ricky Skaggs doing Rawhide? Now we are talking
For the first 83 years of its life, that mandolin had no idea what it was capable of.
Y'know Chris, they're doing wonders with decaf coffee now...
Lol!!!
Love the song, but could you play a little faster? What, are you just learning that instrument?
🤣😂🤣😂
If he keeps this up, he'll be something one day.
;) Great comment Patrick!
@Iliana Roca sad that you can't tell he's joking. What it's like to be like you?
@@bnellie83 There's always that one person who doesn't get it. I've wondered the same thing lol.
You've gotta professionally record this version of Hard Times. It's amazing!!
Chris Thile embodies such a stunning combination of artistry, soul, and fierce technical mastery. Such a joy to hear him.
I'm happy he's on this planet with us.
He is not human, my theory was alien but now I’m leaning AI.
What an astonishing performance. My mind was doubly boggled when he ventured up beyond the twelfth fret into what I think of as no-man's land tiny fret-spacing world, and shredded up there as well. The man's talent never ceases to amaze. Thank you Mr. Thile... your spirit is such an inspiration.
That Lohr signed Gibson was a good investment. It takes someone of his talent to bring out its' best.
its fucking crazy to see someone so casualty crush an instrument like this. This dude is a monster player and arranger.
ABOVE 12TH FRET!!!!!!!!!!!
yes. beyond the 12th fret is just jaw dropping, but I think all in all, just the arrangement is most astonishing. Not that we hae to rank them. He does so many things well. Wow.
I have listened to this many times and you still make me cry every time. Thanks Chris!
Check out the live performance of this at newport festival .

The bell was ringing in the same key. ❤
YES!!!!
I can't even hear that fast!
Good one!!
Mandolin Orange , Yes .

Old Times and companions, their cover of Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather, Hey Stranger...
Basically anything that Emily sings on
MO and WJ's mentioned by Chris Thile - well deserved recognition. . .....
Thanks Chris. We are so lucky!
My literal ear worm for a week!
Chris isn’t a musician he’s a magician. He doesn’t play music he exudes magic
The skill. It's no newsflash, we all got the memo decades ago, but he still manages to astonish me every time. A force of nature.
YYYEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
I am now convinced...you are simply not human. Much respect, Chris. Thank you.
Chris sure is one stellar human being.
Chris, thank you. If you get bored, please, more.
One of the Best songs everrrr!!!!!
.... I wish I could send Chris a mental hug for every time I've been blasted away by his music. Maybe I should just start sending him a dollar instead :D
Ditto!
✌️❤️ from Asheville NC
Mandolin Orange YES!
That bass rhythm shift in the chorus is incredible
Most excellent. I admit I thought upping the tempo might come off sounding rushed but on some super human level Chris manages to sing out leisurely and relaxed while playing mandolin at mach speed. Just amazing.
Oh this old classic: *shreds*
Can’t help but love you Chris.
If only svery mandolinist in lockdown could come out of it sounding like this! Whoa, fantastic Chris ... thank you soooo much
Bravo, you beautiful human being! Thanks Chris.
thank you Chris!
No mandolins were harmed in the making of this video.
No, but that one is pretty tired now.
@@davidkobb987 It probably asked him for a cigarette afterwards.
Oh, thanks so much. Be well, stay well.
This guy is by far one of my favorite human beings!!Not to mention what a musician!!
Hello Chris, you got me, you got me..... from the first note from your mandolin and the first tone out of your mouth, when you began to sing! Incredible, absolutely incredible.... God bless you and stay safe and well too!
Magic! Thanks so much Chris.
My 3-year-old saw this and asked "Does he have braces?" He remembers your Tiny Desk Concert!
Always speechless with this guy!
thank you
So good.
HOLY MULEY COW!! Thanks, Chris. We miss you here in Minnesota. Hope you are back soon.
Can’t even comprehend that solo at 2:40. My hero!!
Just WOW! Such speed and grace combined! A master at play
Thank you from Corpus Christi, TX.
Thank you for sharing your genius gift which provides a nexus to bond with my musical sons. Jim H Morton, IL

Oh boy that was nice on the eardrums
OMG! What a great performance. It is absolutely outstanding how fast, accurate, precise and pristine you are, playing the mandolin. Thank you Chris Thile for inspiring all of us.
I just stumbled across this last night and I must have listened to it twenty times since then. Incredible.
Thank you, Chris. Hugs from far away.

Always floored by your skills Chris!!!
chris, the number of folk you’ve given the courage to get out of bed this morning. bless ye.
I felt much better after listening to this. Thanks, Chris.
Thanks for your uplifting spirit.
wow! What a musician, what a man, what a message!

Oh. My. God. This was amazing. Then skillful playing. The passion. The lyrical interpretation. So good. Thank you for sharing your gift and talent.
The manic poetry of Chris Thile. It's how we are now. Love from Paris...
Amazing talent.
Insane musicianship and love for music 👍🏻👌🏻❤️
You bring this old lady such a lot of pleasure and cheer! Thank you.
Gracious, that was fantastic! Thank you
Would love to hear from the Wailin' Jennys!
Inspirational
Thanks Chris for brightening my day!
One of her best songs!
I got dizzy watching this! Such a virtuoso, breathtaking.
You always did lift me up. Then when I moved to Nashville I was briefly a neighbour of Noam also, I met him first when he was rescuing an abandoned dog form our local dog park. I hope both of you and all of yours are well.
thank you Chris for these videos from home. Blessings.
Thank you Chris. That was total enjoyment
Thanks, Chris!!

That would be rllly sick!!
@@banjoboston6413 Um, I can send it to you from the 2017 show, your pick (It is blue) I suppose "friend" Kevin Horton.
@@kevinhorton8617 It's a different version though, not this uptempo.
WHOOOHOO!! CHRIS!!!
Wonderful!
You sir are just an amazing musician. You are blessing the world with your talent and spirit and giving. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!!!
I was put off by the speed first, but I think now that I've heard and seen this, this was the perfect way to play this song in these particular times. Hard times.
