Tony Rice Red Haired Boy

[@JimDavidson-FingerpickinGood]

Doesn't get any better than this. We miss you, Tony !!!

[@officialmickeymiller]

I love how they all have totally different energies they bring. Tony's playing is joyful yet his expression says 'this is serious business this bluegrass stuff.' Sam Bush (Mandolin) is super animated. And the bassist's smile. LOVE THIS RECORDING I've watched it probably 23 times this week since a friend showed it to me.

[@roblinxweiler9951]

The one thing they all have in common: they make it look SO easy. In the words of the great Dan Hicks "it's not. It's not easy." :-)

[@ryanlevesque8463]

@@roblinxweiler9951it’s amazing Tony plays so effortlessly, absolutely one of the best players ever! If I could play 1/10 as good as him one day I’d be happy I’ve played guitar for 10years went though few rough years didn’t play getting back into playing but I’ve never felt like such a beginner until I started learning bluegrass. Everyone this bluegrass is easy cause it’s only a few chords, it’s the phrasing and rhythm that’s tricky.

[@simonfarrell2537]

In Ireland we call this "The Jolly Begger Man" .. lovely tune :)

[@mikepagnani3049]

It's because it's a fiddle tune to which words have been added. I play this as "Red Haired Boy" and sing it as "Beggar Man" :)

[@symphonyfarm2009]

Played this on instagram and uploaded for a St. Paddy's tune for both sides of the pond!!

[@jakesmet9426]

Is this true?? If so, thanks for that tidbit...it's the stuff that keeps us all connected, by fiddle tunes!

[@dansimmons5382]

Bluegrass is the death metal of country.

[@SimonOak]

The Little Beggarman is an Irish song that uses this melody. Lovely! Look up Tommie Makem RIP.

[@williamdevlin5233]

And Jerry Douglas on dobro and Mark O'Connor on fiddle. All-star lineup!

[@thefreese1]

And Sam Bush on mandolin

[@joefiala6393]

Who is on bass?

[@donsmith820]

Mark Schatz …

[@MichaelFath]

Just fabulous. RIP Tony

[@telboy1966manu]

I can't express the joy this brings me

[@jonathanbarnesmusic]

Flat picking is one thing. TR’s rhythm playing is a whole other level. Incredible all around.

[@richardperkins5046]

Oh to have been there to see and listen to that all-star line-up. The best at what they do.

[@timeverett6983]

Really enjoyed the jam. Love Tony’s up the neck version

[@HenryROSeek]

A recording that fondles my soul...

[@ThisIDig]

Love Tony rice in the suit and everyone else in their PJs. Dude was the symbol of class and professionalism

[@patrickrwhite8354]

Oh I loved this. I slowed my version down I uploaded it tonight thinking I had it too fast. Very nice guys well done. Beautiful.

[@smeef3449]

Learned this on mandolin a couple of years ago and has never left my brain

[@deanoverlie224]

I'm still cryin' ...

[@craniifer]

This performance is so good I didn't even notice the lack of banjo.

[@Rufus-co7sx]

If JD would have been in this line up would of possible been the best 6 line up in bluegrass history!

[@guitarman5560]

I can play that tune on guitar just as good as Tony. As long as its 1/4 the speed.

[@monsterzero1965]

Hardee har har

[@michaeljames8426]

tough to believe xD

[@treystewart2708]

Lol me too bud!

[@steby123]

Rockers think they can shred , hm ok, just listen !!!!

[@chrisdgough]

Super clean, wow!

[@Jamestele1]

This is about as all-star as a Bluegrass group could get!

[@ChunkHugs]

So good. If you viewers haven't seen what The String Cheese Incident did with this song, check out their song: Valley of the Jig

[@gardenparklike]

I LOVE THIS!!!..

[@thefreese1]

I remember when Mark o'Conner was 15 and eating up a flattop guitar... won the grand nationals a couple years in a row ... before he grabs a fiddle and did the same.. it's a shame that he doesn't put more time on the guitar.... He could've been the next Tony Rice.. He was that good at 15..

[@leehjones]

I guess my question is what the video editor has against Jerry Douglas and/or dobros.

[@Rajat_Subhra_Banerjee]

Super!

[@say-cred]

that's Sam bush on mando right?

[@mf5202]

Yup. The Emeritus Mayor of Telluride himself. Sam is a master himself.

[@lenwoodhudson7445]

Jerry is the men!!!

[@richardperkins5046]

How many men is he?

[@phildirt3]

Jerry looks about 16 here

[@momentmal9443]

In danger of catching fire here...

[@gardenparklike]

When it was, guys?

[@jdubhman]

I like this but will leave the like count at 555 seems a cool number.

[@broliclobster5045]

What year is this?

[@extrasouth]

1992

[@HerbRowe-v3v]

Great musitipn

[@heidipaul242]

Gets the juices goin'

[@Robertlavigne1]

Tony rice plays like a duck. Head and face still as can be, all the action is below the water. Complete opposite of Billy Strings.

[@markcarson5414]

I always mix up the mandolin with the ukulele. Which one is that?

[@flappoid]

It's the one next to the bagpipes.

[@gaberumney]

Manolin

[@gaberumney]

Mandolin* derp

[@blue4948]

Its the trumpet

[@monsterzero1965]

Im not going to answer you

[@user-qt5eh9wb7g]

Dobro player have gas that day or what? Lol... .way outta frame

[@mf5202]

Jerry Douglas. The best ever.

[@scottsmith4145]

Aha! Ok, now i see how he's playing it at that tempo,,, he cuts out some of the melody notes!! I was trying to actually play it the right way at that tempo and its way harder! His way is much easier.

[@monsterzero1965]

These guys wish they were as good as Jay Z and Byonce

[@timothylawrence707]

LOL!!

[@mf5202]

They wish they made the money. That's for sure.
