Marty Stuart - Greatest Mandolin Solo Performance Ever

[@TheFloridaPappy]

Saw him do this in concert. You're sitting there listening and watching him play, then suddenly realize he's been playing flawlessly for about five minutes like there's nothing to it. True professional.

[@jjsnead1294]

I dont think anyone who doesn't play an instrument will ever understand how hard this shit is. Beautiful

[@charger19691]

Marty Stuart belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Period. If there ever was a true country artist, it’s Marty Stuart!

[@NurseBerger]

If Mister Marty Stuart can't come and play this at my funeral, I just ain't gonna die.

[@Kaktuskastl]

share this plan.

[@mickkollins]

One of the most significant artists in country music today...he smokes all those new Nashville wanna b's to high heaven..Love Marty...the Rolls Royce of Country musicians

WOW! No matter how many times I watch this I always have the same reaction. WOW!

[@raybin6873]

I love it when a musician tells the story... This one by Marty is great! 👍👍👍

[@bobdalton2062]

I will never forget seeing Marty do this in a little old town of Leroy New York a few years back. Smokin hot picking! Played it just as if he was at the grand old oprey, perfect as you please! Love all Marty’s shows! A gift from God to us!

[@doctortabby]

I was asked to sing Marty Stuart song at a friend's father's funeral some years back. Of course I obliged, learned it, and did it. It was the first I had ever heard of him. Talented dude!

[@philburns961]

Just got a mandolin for Christmas. After watching this total genius I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t. But one can aspire

[@stephenhill6003]

Even if you are like me and only squeeze out a few tunes, learning to play will help you fully appreciate what you're hearing on stage. 🙂

[@renegade1520]

What an unbelievably talented and hard working musician! Marty is the best.

[@PeteWoronowski]

What Marty can do most can only dream of. Thanks for sharing this!

[@nigelbullock4411]

Saw Marty do this in Birmingham UK in Oct, together with his Superlatives one of the best, if not the best gig, I have ever been to.

[@dolam]

I just watched the PBS documentary on country music by Ken Burns. I had no idea how talented Marty Stuart was from such a young age. That documentary gave me a whole new appreciation for him as a musician. This video just showcases that ability, thank you very much for posting.

[@darrylmaxwell-os7pu]

I believe that JIMI , EDDIE & ROY CLARK would agree this is the greatest guitarist on earth

[@SuzyQ1956]

Oh wow! Marty is simply amazing, I love listening to him. And he’s hot too! 🔥

[@haydenquakenbush8626]

Man, I saw him play this at Sweetwater in fort wayne indiana and it was the coolest thing ever!

[@ronaldknisley9792]

Man Marty just rocks no matter what that Mississippi boy always gets it done.

[@foothilldave]

I guess playing mandolin for 50 years - starting as a 10 year old prodigy - gets ya purdy good.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Same thing occurred with Ricky Skaggs, who took up the instrument at age 7.

[@nayrreztiewhcs1225]

Says the guy who sucks and knows he's never gonna be as good 👍 🙄

[@flautalee3090]

Marty clearly loves every aspect of playing and performing. Clearly loves practicing mandolin and guitar. You don’t get this good ~ and get better ~ unless practicing nourishes your soul. I’ve seen videos of him grinning at other musicians, just checking out their technique likely to learn something new, enjoying making music, working hard doing it. I get it.

I met him a few years ago. He and his wife Connie are genuinely sweet.

Living Legend. Marty gets it cause Marty is it

[@erichodgson1020]

This man definitely sold his darn soul. For EARGASMIC talent.

[@mairianncullen8753]

No, the amazing thing is he *didn't* sell his soul. That is what makes Marty Stuart so very, very special. He stayed true to the roots of the tradition.

There are mandolin players and then you have Marty Stewart. Never been recognized as the great mandolin player he truly is. He played my mandolin at a festival one time. His name is on it too.

[@garyjdixon7729]

This mandolin is exactly why I've seen Marty Live 15 times as many will chose Ricky Scaggs as the best but to me MARTY is GOAT playing that priceless piece!!

[@Hollcall]

WOW......................this man is an ARTIST ! Nice to hear Halifax [ live in N.S. ] mentioned. lol

[@RichardRuth]

i lived in N.S back in the late 60s. I like it whenever I hear Halifax mentioned!

I live in Nova Scotia and love to hear it mentioned!!! J.P. Cormier could play that tune. Of course, he can play any tune!

[@jimmyc5498]

damn!!! I didn't know and man did I underestimate him. thanks for educating me ....

Talk about royalty. Marty is Mozart with the mandolin.

[@underground1976]

Where did I ever think Mr rouse was a craven County NC man? I wish someone would clear this up for me.as Marty said Ervin Thomas Rouse was a Florida native? I'm fully aware of the orange blossom trail round Orlando and I ain't seen many oranges here in Carolina or blossoms lol but I was raised hearing that this was an Eastern NC written or composed tune.NC already brags of the first flight and it kinda got ohio a little sore about it lmao.cam someone clear up this thing about Mr Rouse and his orange blossom special for me please?

[@FANJG24]

You are correct. Ervin Rouse was born September 19, 1917, just east of what was then the unincorporated community of "Fort Barnwell" in Craven County, NC. He left home for NY at age 8, and moved to Miami in 1938.
