Doc Watson & Earl Scruggs Play Cripple Creek Just Having Fun

"I can play guitar breaks." That was the understatement of the year.

[@BeingRomans829ed]

And of course Earl was an outstanding guitar picker himself.

[@Sapoguapo]

Hahahah! I had the exact thought!

[@JusticeAlways]

Ah yes!👍 God bless Doc....

[@Zachary_Walker]

When you good you know it lol.

[@gskessingerable]

When Earl Scruggs leans in an admires your guitar playing you know you're good.

I wish he could see billy strings play

[@Ron4president09]

@@gskessingerable doc watson and merle travis are the greatest of all time but it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t love to hear billy carry on the torch

[@MaxG-jk8ty]

Billy has decades left to catch up to the legends. He is one of the best from the new school. I hope he doesn't burn out or fall for the trappings of fame and fortune. I only wish his tickets weren't so expensive... He is very humble and an undeniable talent. Comparing artists instead of appreciation really misses the point. Music is not a boxing match, it's a celebration of humanity.

[@bobmartin2937]

This brought back so many memories of my father and uncles sitting around and strumming. No distractions like we are all so bombarded with today. Much, much simpler time then.

[@gwatts907]

Amen

[@KN-lq4zv]

Amen

[@genebrenner855]

You can see ol' Earl leaning in to appreciate Doc's amazing guitar runs.

[@gregmccarter2176]

Doc couldn't see, but in his heart and soul he saw more than most people...

[@danf4616]

Wow, Doc has no trouble picking that double time. Amazing player and singer.

[@ZenFox0]

What a treat to see these legends jamming together.

[@MamothRoar]

The beauty is in the conversation they had without exchanging any words.

[@erinbarger3822]

Earl Scruggs set out to find the best guitar players in the world with these videos and I think he just found him.

[@jimforgue3424]

Yep, all you can do is watch in amazement

[@blaineday8675]

That little grin on Earls face purdy much says it getting good

[@JonRiceMusic]

that guitar playing was unreal

[@drewmcauliffe6285]

my first intro to bluegrass in Lenox MA circa 1975. Doc and Merle and I was forever changed

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

I know just what you are saying. the two of them forever changed me as well. David Hoffman filmmaker

[@CrucesNomad1]

Raised on this and still love it, thank you Otis Chutes.

[@jillsansing1189]

Thank you Google for reminding me how much I love Bluegrass music. I've spent several hours going through clips and listening. I'm from near Shelby, NC and grew up with this music. Thank you!

About 40 seconds in , his focus changes. It’s amazing

[@TheGreyGhost_of43rd]

Some of the greatest of all time

[@primovid]

Holy F...those are some amazing musicians right there!

[@khoney32]

I love getting to hear their discussion, gorgeous video capturing some lovely musicians, thank God for them. Didnt know about Bobby until today. So many memories of clogging on a team called Scenic Land Cloggers with my stepfather who passed too young Oct 2023. Wish they could stay with quality of life but I love them nonetheless, even Bobby who I didnt know, but this captures a time, an era of life for me and an era of Bluegrass. ❤

[@maggieemrick7623]

I love this. Docs so cute ❤ in Boone right now visiting relatives and can't help but to picture him playing downtown before he got super famous. RIP Doc, Merle, and Rosa Lee ❤

[@Joe30pack]

I had the pleasure to play with Doc Watson one time at a little impromptu Jamboree in Owensboro Kentucky. Some of the best Pickers in the world would meet down there every October on the banks of the Ohio, with a burgoo Festival in the background❤

Thank You David. This is a true gems and two of the bluegrass ForeFathers! I enjoyed seeing ihem both pick and especially in their earlier years. You got some true Classics in your videos; again Thank you~~~PEACE LOVE LIGHT~~~Da KID

I love how each of their feet are syncopated with eachother lol

[@ghostinthemachine5821]

FIRE!!!

[@jefflindeman]

I love when Doc says he doesn't think his son Randy can handle the breaks, because a few years later in a 1978 concert that has Doc playing on stage with his son, weeee doggie, he taught that boy well! I was fortunate enough to have this gem show up in my recommendations today. 34 minutes of Doc Watson bliss: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2W2cp55q5uln5Y

[@VidarLund-k5q]

You need to own the album Strictly Instumental by Doc, Flatt and Scruggs.

[@CCoburn3]

There are lots of arguments about who was the best guitarist ever. But there has never been any debate about who was the greatest banjo player. Earl Scruggs stands alone.

Ah yes early 20th Century punk folk!

Banjo is about twice as loud as three guitars.

Earl had what's called a " pre-war flat head" Gibson. They are majestic

My whole life ive wanted to play that but im just not good enough lol

I completely agree. Stupid me at a young age, I throughout the outtakes. I can't believe that I did that but it's the truth. David Hoffman filmmaker

You can type in Tracy Newman she does a decent version.

Playing too fast. Showing off how fast they can go rather than showing how interesting the tune is. Notice the great tension in the guitarist's face towards the end.

I believe he played as fast as his heart desired. This should be enougj
