[@Luneytoons]

You know someone is talented on an instrument when they don't even look at it while playing. All these guys are fantastic musicians, but Michael Cleveland is unreal!

[@TheViralWizard]

He’s blind, he couldn’t look at it if he wanted to!

[@Sluggo01]

Mikey Cleveland on the Mandy doin inovs at 2:53 +. They all laugh they can't believe it....lol. he is so talented

[@TheFoofding]

What's an "inov?"

[@Sluggo01]

The Foofding Innovations or add-ons or additions to the normal Fretboard thanks for asking have a good day

[@adambenigni5626]

The man is an animal. He could win every IBMA.

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

Mr. Cleveland the good Lord broke the mold when you came along !!! I wish I had 1/10th of your talent. Fine pickin boys !!! God Bless Y'all

[@timsendsit]

I’d love to know what Mike said to Patrick to make him laugh so hard. I’ve watched this video dozens of times and it never gets old

[@williamgage7447]

Michael says something about playing a song in the key of F. He said it’s hard as shit. Patrick cracked up.

[@timsendsit]

@@williamgage7447 It's when they're into the second round and Patrick finishes and Jake starts. Pat leans in to Mike and says something and mike's response had Patrick cracking up

[@williammills8953]

Mike Cleveland is good on that mandolin. Wow. Pickin away. They are all talented. This is some of finest music ever.

[@Sluggo01]

Powerful pickin, like to see the "pop country" players even come close to this accuracy...wow great picks

[@skiesofcornwall4431]

Incredible. Wish I could experience this in the UK. God bless y'all.

[@buckzx12r]

Love JD Crowes version of this with Jimmy Martin!

[@simonhumphries6200]

That mandolin is killer. Heard it said he's not so shabby on fiddle neither.

[@riceflatpicking4954]

Best fiddle player in the world

[@TheJano1974]

men men men this is good music

[@easyeasely]

the best view for learning banjo. I wish every instructor would use a gopro for teaching instruments. great vid.

[@gpmcd1044]

I keep waiting on Sheriff Taylor to knock on the door and everybody but the bass player jumps out the window. I loved it guys!

[@SUPERSTREETMUSTANG]

Holy smoke, they good! 👏👏👏

[@snakeroll]

OMG, that has got to be one of the most fun bluegrass video on youtube! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@garybragg2385]

All these guys are top notch. Michael Cleveland is the most impressive. Think he's good on a mandolin, watch and listen to some of his fiddle playing.

[@MsGavbo]

Every few weeks I watch this video to remind myself that I’ll always have more to learn!!

[@tuffruff93]

SON!! Mighty fine pickin' and grinnin'!

[@windsurfertx1]

Fantastic. I really like this. Bedroom bluegrass at its finest.

[@Aljoshaaa]

have You noticed Mike's right hand at solo part, he's doin the same as Sam Bush, it looks he's playin rhytm but instead doin a solo ...

[@symphonyfarm2009]

Banjo CAM! ....seriously Russ gota go talk to your boss and convince him it is a good idea to wear it on stage at least twice a tour!

[@SwissBanjo]

He needs even 2 cams !!!

[@bcp5296d]

Boss aint havin it and that's just fine cause Ricky has paid his dues.

[@101proofplease6]

Getting into a picking with Mikey Cleveland is good times all the time!

[@arthurogle7581]

Im old so I remember Jimmy Martins release of this tune. (1956)? Victor Jordan on the ole 5, Vernon Derrick on mando. Jimmy on guitar. Then J D joined the Sunny Mountain Boys. We always played this in A Major.

[@krikeyitstimeforcricket967]

You guys are wonderful.. keep that train rolling guys. Much love from the Netherlands.

[@vmalcolm]

Man, every time I watch this video I always wonder why Tim doesn't look like he's having ANY fun until AFTER the killer song ends!

[@kimhumphrey2476]

Michael Cleveland is a monster. Great video.

[@SwissBanjo]

Just wowwwwww!

[@iknowyouarebutwhatami]

SUPER JAM!!! All killer musicians and great people

[@Knappist]

Improvisation or what 🤟

[@danadeputy7469]

I would have hated to have been Patrick McAvinue setting next To Mike playing the fiddle. Lol

[@mdemartile]

[@gorillaspawn6071]

[@jeffgoins8633]

[@Sluggo01]

Mike Cleveland...damm...easy, wow the riffs on the Mandy...wow..I recognize the fiddle player..RedLine Audi Blaylock player, met them at the home place, Audi still has personals stored at my mom and dads place. Great friend, these guys are just plain great. Wow

[@arthurogle7581]

I remember when 2 of these pickers, Russ and Patrick used to pick for Audie Blaylock. They were great then and are awesome NOW!!!! Jimmy Martin recorded this back n tha day with J D on banjer and Vernon Derrick on mando. I pick regularly with an awesome blind banjo picker. Name is Wayne Harris. Weve played in same bands off and on for 44 years. Blind guys ROCK.

[@mdrsmeltracy]

[@agalligani]

This song... Big Country.... I can't find it anywhere. Is it a standard? I'd like to learn it.

[@battlehrfred]

KOOOOOOL PLAYING

[@mandohat]

Beautiful banjo playing

[@angelamitzelfelt1299]

Can you tell me the song at the end credits??

[@agalligani]

This is a great perspective I really enjoyed this. Banjo cam is a thing!

[@agalligani]

Jake Workman .... what a picker!

[@joshuahymer15]

Mighty fine.

[@danielwhittington4559]

This Awesome, I love there music !

[@jasonjohnson3462]

Yup, good

[@blackbirdpie217]

Takes me back to the Jimmy Martin instrumental album Big and Country- where they used electric mandolin on this piece. This version is the only emulation of that I've heard since it was first done back in 1965. you can compare them just search "big and country Jimmy Martin" on KZbin.

[@leonardwilcox4570]

Vernon Derrick on mando

[@nopadolta354]

Love it!!

[@justandrew3844]

What is that song on the end

[@arthurogle7581]

First heard this tune ages ago by JImmy Martin with Crowe on his "banger" banjo and Vernon Derrick on fiddle (see You Tube video).Patrick Mcaveenie in this version is a likely replacement for Bobby Hicks on fiddle.

[@gmcd8312]

Yesssss sir. Amazing

[@KG-vi2mv]

How do 17 people dislike this?

[@bkelly5570]

Yuengling Lagers! Pottsville Punch.

[@rheacentral2393]

I’ve been looking for this song on ITunes but it’s not going so well. What artist have covered this?

[@carolynfrance335]

Hotel manager “hello Police I need to report a bluegrass concert in room #208” Police dispatch “it’s okay we have officers there, they can’t hear anything have a good night “ click. Police dispatch to officers on scene “ hey could you put a request for Orange Blossom special or runnin down the mountain by the Kruger Brothers? Just keep the mic keyed so we can listen.....

[@johnnyfenlayson8720]

Hot!!

[@joshuahymer15]

These boys may have cut it down??

[@guymerritt4860]

I wish I'd rent a hotel room and these guys would be next door. Yi-ha!!!!

[@clawhammer704]

Does any know who made the guitar pickers strap closet to camera.

[@jasonk9874]

Banjo cam!!!!

[@Coltons_Country]

What is the name of the song in the end credits!?! I must add it to my playlists!

[@angelamitzelfelt1299]

I wAnted to know the same...if u find out please comment here

[@jonb3551]

what version of big country is this? I've been searching online for a tutorial on this version buut cannot find one. All I find is the bella fleck version.

[@cardwellave2]

Is this song called Big Country? The only Big Country i can find anywhere is Bela’s. This song is so catchy.

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

Yup that's exactly what it is!

[@winkcrittenden6011]

Mike is a freak

[@Goggansjoe]

Francis Crittenden easy...

[@angelamitzelfelt1299]

What is the medley at the end

[@jonos138]

Have a question about this version which I love. Does this by any chance have another title as well? When I do a search for any tutorials on this tune it always comes up with Bela's version and not this version. Anyone know where I can find this version??

[@SantasWorkshop1964]

This is so awesome to try to play along with all of you men,about 1/4 the way into it my right hand melts down and I cant stop laughing ,sometimes I make it half way through but I cant thank you enough for showing this,I'm having alot of fun up here in northern Minnesota out in the middle of nowhere lol

[@HotRodSixString]

And Russ Carson on banjo

[@bigcase4449]

Is this in a hotel room? I if so hell yeah.

[@yalahamike]

[@arthurogle7581]

Holy cow lead guitar player. Hock that Collings and get a Martin D28!!! We'll be able to hear ya. Guy in our S W Bg Club has a $5K Collings we can barely even here. Or better still a Preston Thompson from Sisters Ore.

[@HPNomad]

arthur ogle don’t think gopros are paramount in their audio game

[@com4420]

Why can’t y’all be in the room next to me in the hotel instead of screaming kids?

[@AMA-G]

アメリカ スゲーべ。普通のウチでこんな事するなんて！

[@backcountrybluegrass4770]

HOT

[@bridgettecampbell1018]

Yes, but who was the banjo player?

[@timturman2096]

Russ Carson

[@OfficialBluegrassMemed]

Hahahahah! That was good!

[@Vicartje]

Imagine if you had the privilege of being in the hotel room next door...

[@raymondcote6669]

It would have been nice to HEAR THE GUITAR

[@235buz]

Great music but amateur camera work.

[@craftsman3361]

Cleveland is picky to picky we tried to get him to play with us for a few songs only he would not ,,I don't like that I've been around the best he should be more friendly

[@alan4sure]

Couldn't hear any Jake solo at all! WHy not cut your volume guys?

[@jasonbaldwin2171]

He could also dig in more.

[@guitardudebanjoman]

Hes also the only one facing away from the camera. That makes a huge difference.

[@aeliushadrianus7351]

Killer musicians but horrible cameraman...

[@henri7999]

Was expecting Fleck's big country :/

[@arthurogle7581]

My D35 has waay more volume.
