Sierra Hull - Secrets Songs & Tunes mandolin DVD

Trailer for AcuTab's Sierra Hull mandolin DVD - Secrets Songs & Tunes.
www.acutab.com/...
Sierra Hull started her first year of college in 2009, and is already one of the most celebrated mandolinists in and around bluegrass music. While still in high school she released her debut CD, Secrets, on Rounder Records. On this 2 DVD set Sierra teaches the mandolin solos she plays on Secrets, plus a number of instrumentals she recorded as a pre teen.
To get things started, AcuTabs John Lawless leads Sierra through a discussion about how she came to be a stunning virtuoso at such a young age, including her early influences and inspirations. The bulk of the video, however, is all music with 10 complete songs and tunes demonstrated, taken from her critically-acclaimed debut album Secrets, from Rounder Records (CDROUN0601).
Sierra teaches these songs carefully and in great detail. She and John discuss each solo before it is demonstrated by an all-star band, and then she breaks it down slowly, piece-by-piece. Even though a few of the solos are fairly difficult, the way she teaches puts them within the reach of most pickers. She goes slowly, breaking each peice into easily-digestible bits, stringing them all together in a format accessible to beginning and intermediate students.
Songs taught include:
Smashville
Thats All I Can Say
Hullarious
From Now On
Secrets
Sierras Waltz
Ice On The Road
Everybodys Somebodys Fool
Abscence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
A printed booklet with tab and standard notation is included.
Three screen orientations are available for the split screen sections, based on whether the left or right hand is of greater interest. Switch between them using the Angle key.

[@lukeifraser]

Killer sounding mandolin tone! Well spoken and great player!

[@skylark280]

beautiful talent its nice to hear raw talent like hers.

[@MartynDunnMusic]

I'm learning to appreciate the mandolin more and more, now I've listened to it for a couple of months. I've been planning on buying one, but I don't want to have any regrets afterwards.

[@pensacolaargo]

MAN I LOVE THIS YOUNG LADY. A RAY OF LIGHT

[@Pickinbuddy]

She's got the smoothest technique I've ever heard!

[@davidtheguitarman]

i think there aren't other girls like her that can play a mandolin so good....

[@MISTAWULFY]

I just recently got my own mandolin...I love this instrument, don't you?

[@speakwhnspkn2]

What a talent. Glad I found out about this tremendously gifted young lady.

[@FilMandolin]

From one mando player to another.... There is no disputing your talent young lady. You have a fine bluegrass style second to none and believe me I have heared many,I play in a band and have been fortunate to play support to Hayseed Dixie..twice. Now how lucky am I :) Excellent recording re sound level and graphics. Go girl go!

[@RNTcomeback]

She is gorgeous

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Very tasteful - she considers the overall end product and sound!

[@josephwitte]

oh my goodness that mandolin sounds amazing.

[@Gxyz222]

Pretty instrument, pretty instrumentalist! She's got it!

[@Shamonachild]

shredding on a mandolin.... Wow!

[@vcp430]

@narutosaenz You're absolutely right! Sierra has way more talent, a WAY better vocalist, and amazing mandolin player, plus she doesn't go out and get wasted every night. She's so nice, and it's amazing how much ability she has on her instrument.

[@acutab]

The tape was to kill the sympathetic overtones from the strings behind the bridge in the studio. Sierra had a blast insisting that it was the flag of her people.

[@katietricks]

thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@UmphreysProwler]

I'm in love.

[@SouthBoston88]

[@lizzyvance]

[@SHADOWMAN296]

If You Think her mandolin is sweet,you should here her guitar!!! Get her cd''s man she is a good teacher. A very sweet Young Lady!!!

[@bobbyearl60]

sierra hull gives this increasingly cynical over 50 boomer hope.here is a beautiful girl with obviously strong character and does excellent music. im learning mandolin so I have even more appreciation for her skills.she can sure make it sing. reminds me in many ways of allison krauss.how id love to see a rebellion against all the computerized electronic stuff and see more people her age doing music with feeling.kind of like how grunge was the opposite of shred.heres to hope....

[@Burro1231]

@narutosaenz I thumbed you up cause your grammar proves your point..

[@chewondoggy]

thats how i like my music.....mushy and hard

[@dnncastle]

Why does she have colored tape on her strings? And I just want her to know if she ever looks on here, I am a huge fan. I actually heard about her from a friend and went out looking for her CD and finally found it so I could listen to it over and over. I didn't know she had put out this DVD, now I will have to buy it. I have been trying to learn these songs from her CD, but I am fairly new to the mandolin and couldn't keep up. Now I believe I will finally learn them.

[@COWBOYMACLEOD]

Ron Block on banjo and Sierra Hull on mandolin, as if perfect for the tune "Dueling Banjos" played in the key of A and Sierra and Ron would do a good job, wouldn't they?

[@lysolknight]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't pay attention to what she was saying because of the CC's.. Captions from KZbin are hilarious! But yes, she can play like a god.

[@leoncioviolin]

bravo bravoo

[@mrh3tic]

@narutosaenz pop is basically how well someone can be marketed, it has nothing to do with talent, if u want talent, u have to venture away from mainstream music, and REALLY do ur homework persay

[@procarpenter1788]

@mandojapan Why even make a comment like that?

[@campjaml123]

@narutosaenz It called having an overly incredible PR team, and disney trying to take over the world - thats why Sierra Hull is not a super big artist
