Jake Workman - 2010 Texas Flatpicking Champion - St. Anne's Reel & Old Joe Clark.

[@seppalin5163]

I've been listening to this tune for 68 years. This boy am very very good, thank you for posting.

[@GHOST.productions]

I've just read the comments makes since why people keep coming back. This just brings a smile to me and a foot stomp. Perfect.

[@kellylaserworks7861]

Saw him in person with Ricky Skaggs a couple of months ago. He is truly one of the great flat-pickers of today and still so young.

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

fluid and musical. really inspiring to hear this style executed so cleanly and clearly.

[@NallDave]

One part inspiration, 9 parts perspiration. You don't learn to play like that overnight.

[@vanguard4065]

you do learn it overnight. but you master it over years.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

It only took him nine years. Dudes a freak of nature

[@demolitionwilliams7419]

He IS a freak or nature that's for sure. He's very hard working at the same time

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

I love the greatest…Jake Pickman!!!!

[@MrDrFuller]

beautifully done and melodically inspiring......... unusual for chop filled guitar playing!

[@pressedearth9492]

One of my favorite fiddle tunes. Great rendition.

How talented! Now that is some mighty fine picking! Thanks for sharing Bill!

[@stevysound]

A pleasure to listen to

[@dannywoody5497]

Wonderful playing

[@guibox3]

Holy crap. That has to be the best version of St. Anne's Reel that I've heard. I'm stealing most of those licks for my straight forward, balls to the wall version that has serious accuracy issues. Nice job!

[@agalligani]

Can you do those harmonics? That was some twisted sheet...

[@jeloeb]

That is so inspiring. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be able to pick like that but I am sure going to go practice a bunch.

[@floater156]

I think I have that same model of guitar. I love it.

[@gwendolinkirkegaard1812]

What I love about this style of playing is that it is not fast (or demanding) for the sake of sport but also looks out for a good tone and end result. Also in Germany st Anne's reel was adopted into a children song about 'grandma riding a motorbike in the chickencage'. Lol

the "Old Joe Clark" part reminiscent of Ian Dury & The Blockheads: "Sex & drugs & Rock & Roll", same hookline riff. Same riff by the way as Charlie Haden's bassline on Ornette Coleman's "Ramblin"

Hey Jake, ever thought about touring with Chris Thile? I bet he's love working with you

[@MarieMandolin]

Hi Alex. Your comment is most interesting and informative for me. You are right about the Drop D. I agree he is playing standard but that drop D. gives a different sound.Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate it. Have a nice week end Look up DEE DEE pick's channel I thing you would like his playing of the guitar.. Marie

So do I and it's going on my wall after seeing this. ;)

Standard tuning using a lot of tasty open string licks

[@turtleking6840]

I'd like to talk to this "teacher." I bet he's one of those lunatics who tells you to "practice" too. Like that makes a difference? It's like, back off man, I'll practice when dad buys me a 1930s D-28.

[@whiskyngeets]

Can I find this arrangement somewhere?

If you like this flatpicking look up billy strings.

[@vwald]

YES!!.. :)

[@roalik4270]

WHAT ??? With a comparison like that, I dare say that you don't play. Combine the flare of an enthusiastic air-guitarist with a 20th percentile guitarist, and you have Billy Springs. I am not discrediting the value of showmanship or passion, but contest judges would not be so easily fooled.

[@nickmarble7226]

Hi Ken!

[@USNAVDC]

🙂

[@agalligani]

His pinky is huge.

[@MarieMandolin]

If they could play like this in regular tuning that would be something else again. Never the less I do enjoy different tuning and find that some music goes better in different tuning.

[@thadmesser1921]

Hey Marie, put some of your picking on here and let us have a listen!

[@MarieMandolin]

Look up my guitar arrangements on my channel. Then tell me what you think. I find that I discover a lot of new ways to play a piece just by practicing. Thanks for your comment and suggestion. I will try to upload more. Your friend, Marie

[@ankaht]

What do you mean by "in regular tuning" He is either Standard tuning or maybe Drop D and I only mean single Drop D as in DAGBDE, this is by the rules of the competition itself. So other than having a slightly (1 whole step) deeper range on a single string, he's playing it standard.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

He is playing in standard

[@willbranthicks]

Dang! That's all I'm going to say.

[@KCBarr1]

Was I a competitor against this guy, I would have Tonya Harding'ed' him with his own guitar after the first round.

[@GarrettRatliff96]

I am glad that I didn't have to face him last year. I would have been slaughtered. Last year a Daniel Wheeler won and you talk about PLAYING A GUITAR!!! I only managed to get 4th, unfortunately. It was a nice guitar they were giving away, too. A Jeff Robertson custom made Adi top, forward shifted scalloped bracing and mahogany back and sides. She was a beaut!!!

[@KCBarr1]

Garrett Ratliff Are any of your videos on here? I'd be more than happy to listen to them. I love listening to flat pickers. I especially like this guy, because for some reason his playing picks me up when I'm feeling down.

[@GarrettRatliff96]

ken barr I don't, but I can get some uploaded for you. I also play banjo, so I can get you some of that too.

[@KCBarr1]

I'd be more than happy to watch them. Thanks

Are you kidding me???.... Wow

his pinky is the size of my middle finger

the tuning is in eflat major seventh!!

[@jeffrolfzen]

It's standard, it's a requirement of the contest that you play in standard. They only make exceptions to Drop D

genius .. simple as that .. u couild live a million years trying to play like that and u aint never going to do it !!

[@dantheman348]

I love the music but it’s true and we should all be cognizant of that. This style is mostly 16th notes and it sounds fantastic when done properly. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and pretend it’s something it’s not. There’s other music for that. In fact there’s music for everything whether you want to be deeply immersed or simply entertained. No one is above the other they thankfully exist just the same.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

It's dance music brainlet. You're supposed to buck dance or square dance to it. That's what the material is written for.

[@turrafirmaguitarchannel]

It’s dance music. Good for parties and drinking too.

[@stickgs]

Don't these people have jobs? Putting in a lot of hours of practice to play like this....just sayin!

[@mrartistbill]

My playing has improved since I retired because I spend a few hours a day playing the guitar.

Musta started playing at 13 months old.
