The story at 7:50 made me sad for them. They needed the money and Bill Monroe blocked them from the tour. That’s sad. This interview was so wonderful. Thank you for posting it. You preserved some wonderful history here. And Roni was a doll.

There's a world of content in this video, if you take the time to unpack it. And I love how the Patreon "licks of the month" further reinforce these concepts.

Salutations from Scotland. I never really figured out how to integrate double stops into my solos until you came along with this, and it really clicked! I've been working on it for the last couple of weeks and 'game changer' is no exaggeration. Thank you so much for sharing this.

❤❤❤❤❤😮

Sometimes I just need some structure and guidance to my practice. Running all my scales using your 3rds pattern and 3 note progressives with the metronome doing downstrokes and tremolo from the Wyatt video is turning me into a beast. Thanks boss.

Finally starting to pick up on stuff pretty fast. Got this little lick up to 90bmp in G. Now working out in A, both open and closed fretting. Great stuff Chris!!!

Nice. Now just to figure out what's going on. Thanks man.

Chris, I'm sure you're aware of the pick tap on the worthless tit on the fingerboard.

This is cool! I just ordered my first Mando on Amazon and I was wondering if u had any idea of some good KZbin lessons to get me started

Yes! Every video is exactly the lesson I need next.

Love the pentatonic scales!

Hello! This is great! Quick question - when doing the arpegios, I notice you are doing the major chords G, A, B, C, etc... Why this instead of the chords in the key G, Amin, Bmin, etc.. Would practicing arpegios in that manor also be valid? Thank you so much!

Great lesson!

Really appreciate your teaching style. You help make the path of practice seem a little more clear. Love the idea of these 3 pillars and will be working on this to get further into an intermediate stage. Thanks for your time and what you bring to the mandolin world!

Thanks so much for these exercises! You've really got me hooked to learn more. Infinity loop? I've got to check that out!

This was very far beyond my skill level, but I still learned a whole bunch. Thanks Chris.

Another video worthy of bumping.

I just spent a few days focusing on this, soooo helpful.

Just wanna say hey - made it to the end and enjoyed all of it. Chris - even though I’m a guitar player, really enjoy your words of musical advice. I came across your 30 min/day minimum not that long ago (10 grunt 10 melody(!!) 10 stuff your working on) and it has made a big difference, especially in those days I wasn’t into practicing - I would say “just do 30 today”. More often than not it goes longer. And love all your stuff with Pete R. Mickey - not sure if you’ll see this comment but if you do, thanks for all your lessons. Thanks again to both of you!!!

I appreciate the writing on this episode.

I like the theory of this land is your land staggered arpeggios teaching

Thanks for a great lesson! Saw you with Peter Rowan at ROMP a couple of days ago. Awesome is the only word!

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Whoa! It's Christopher Henry's respectable little brother!! 😊

Im trying to like and comment on all your videos because they're important. And this is another great one. You're filling a major gap in the mandolin education curriculum currently available on KZbin. Every video is _that_ video. The one i was trying to find on another teacher's channel but couldn't. Thanks for your unique ability to survey the landscape and identify what is needed and produce it in a straightforward way with zero fluff and zero idle chatter.

Another beyond valuable lesson Christopher! Can't express my thanks enough!

I agree with the crowd that cheered when you mentioned using the infinity shape. That arpeggio shape is indeed a crowd-pleaser.

In the squares of the city by the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office I saw my people And some were stumbling and some were wondering if This land was made for you and me.

Awesome!.👌

No fluff just Great Stuff! I Love your teaching style and clarity. perfectly paced. Thank you so much. This may sound a little weird but " thank you for the peace filled manner in which you teach." Dan in Vesuvius, VA

Appreciate this. Thanks for sharing!

Some of the finest picking either side of the Mississippi. Beautifully composed song as well.

Which parts do you have to do with your feet in the water?

This video is a major contribution to the KZbin mandolin community. I can think of no other quite like it, and as you can see from the comments, it was sorely needed.

now I can’t unsee it. I am pretty sure Jake is the clone of Chris.

Nice! Working on this tune today. Glad you posted this.

Dude sounds just like you, both voice and mandolin!

Great lesson - thanks! It’s cool to hear the Herschel Sizemore influence come out in Steffey’s break.

Many moons ago! So welcome! Thanks for the kind comments!

Dang son, all clean cut. Great lesson. Thanks!

This is such a helpful and fun way to practice tremolo mechanics. Thanks Chris!

This music is ageing like fine wine. timeless vibes.

Yeah man. Seriously. Every lesson of yours is solid gold and im a better player for having engaged with it. Thank you.

What's the bridge on your mandolin. Thank you.

Incredible lesson it's almost like playing amazing grace in closed position

Greetings from the year 2024... Thank you for the timeless advice!

Awesome! What a speed!. I never play like you !. Genius! 🙏👌
