“Caution: the fire exit is on fire”

[@slimpickens8343]

Jake plays so clean. It always blows me away

[@555Gear]

Best Forked Deer out there period 🦌

[@AikiFuz]

Hats off to whatever audio genius managed to record 3 loud instruments in a concrete box and have it sound presentable!

[@joshuasaltzman2403]

It's the players too - they know how to adjust their dynamics to the acoustics.

[@Grindstaff09]

@@joshuasaltzman2403 It's the instruments as well!!

[@DwindleDwellandDwarf]

Bob’s rhythm guitar playing is other worldly. Damn good!

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

That Norman Blake coming through

[@kaspersderlund5573]

This is one of the best things about youtube; casual moments of brilliance like this, preserved for mere mortals like me. Thank you!

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]

Incredible. I love watching masterful players holding down the rhythm and making each other sound great. These guys are true masters that make this look so much easier than it really is.

[@LibbysBluegrassVideos]

I heard these guys saying they were going to find a quiet place to film a video, I guess that place was the stairs! 😂 Amazing picking!! @Collings Guitars, you need to get Jake to IBMA every year! 👍

[@PseudoAccurate]

Smooth, beautiful, creative, badass.

Ok - if these guys did this impromptu, this is insane.

[@bigmac51290]

This is one of those "head shake of disbelief" videos. When I grow up, I hope to have half of their abilities.
