Sierra Hull - Sonata No. 3 in C Major (Allegro) | BACH

[@davidjohnson126]

Is there nothing that Sierra can't play on a mandolin? Her talent is jaw dropping!! And she makes it look so effortless! Her voice is beautiful, her personality seems so great, and she is so pretty!! She is a total blessing! Magical!!

[@atticstattic]

She can't play second fiddle!

[@pascalsolal]

The answer is work, work, work...

[@seejayjames]

Damn, Bach is hard as hell, and she does it so effortlessly. Bravo!

[@kaialoha]

with a pick!!

[@iamJROD]

@@kaialoha Mandolin is usually played pick style, but i get your point. This piece is played on the classical guitar with the fingers, and you have to have great technique to play it well.

[@unknownkingdom]

It's not that hard

[@atticstattic]

Bach is fun to play!

[@colinlamont5040]

Love that part with 2 melodies and the drone talking to each other, but it's all 16th notes lined up in a row. A musical tesselation with all the pieces fit together snugly - no gaps!

[@joeleary3014]

How cool is Sierra though, smiling through the shred so effortlessly like it's someone just strumming wonderwall 😂

[@stevenpivec8803]

Seriously, doesn’t second guess herself and effortless is the perfect word. True Mandolin player and a natural

[@MrBigbadbowen]

Hearing that just confirms how many hundreds of years ahead of his time Bach was!

[@ImKevan]

his level of understanding of musical composition is still higher than the entire musical knowledge of the top 100 pop stars combined and its 2020, and i mean, i subscribe to the church of van halen where our lord eddie once proclaimed "if it sounds good, it is good" but, i'm sure if Bach was still alive/bought back to life, that'd be something to brag about lol.

[@rampeguelarg]

or how many hundreds of years behind we are.

[@MrBigbadbowen]

@@rampeguelarg listening to radio one, I'm not sure hundreds is enough, more like thousands

[@CT2507]

Why did he have to be ahead of his time? What was wrong with his own time? Perhaps he was behind.

[@CerealKiller1973]

Sierra and Chris Thile blow my mind. Virtuosos. Absolutely beautiful music.

[@drewrandall8161]

Could this channel be, like, 45% Bach music on mandolin like this? Because this was great! Paradoxically both perky and soothing.

[@jmc5281]

Bach is excruciatingly difficult but you play it effortlessly. The mark of a great musician. You look like you're really enjoying Bach. Good for you! Cheers.

[@daf827]

Bluegrass Bach! I love it. She’s an amazing player.

[@ghallums]

One of the best mandolin players on the planet and she is also a very sweet person in real life.

[@BillB23]

"That's all I've got for now." Thank you kindly, ma'am, that's a gracious plenty.

[@stevebadachmusic]

Bach is what got me playing mandolin. love it!

[@jimthompson9992]

So much talent in such a tiny little lady....incredible! God outdid himself there!💖👍

[@dwells37]

I like hearing her talk almost as much as I like hearing her play! She had me at "hey y'all"!

[@panzerlieb]

I’m not worthy. I think I’ll go sell all my instruments now. Seriously that was amazing👍🏻👍🏻

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Your tempo is really impressive! I can't imagine how hard you worked on learning and perfecting this.

[@PoopilussMcDoopiluss]

Dude you know shes talented. I play death metal and cant do that shit. Instant subscription and like for this one.

[@ZaoJin]

vibin while shredding some bach with such ease, real queen shit ngl

[@greenmile9496]

Well done! 😃👍 I closed my eyes and felt like I could SEE the notes as they were played 🎶🎵🎶

[@dcorzi]

Wow.. that picking technique is monster level!

[@boddhiswaha5446]

I love the sound of this instrument! Its like a Banjo, but less...banjee

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

It's more like a violin. Banjee should be added to the dictionary though.

[@morganh1066]

as a classical orchestral musician this so appeals to me! you have real musicianship. and I LOVE your voice! loved your rendition of "mad world" too!

[@helloworld451]

Wow, so beautiful., Sierra..I think would Bach would be proud.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

We got to see her in concert last year. Very, very talented. We were somewhat amused that she played little or no bluegrass music. I would have liked that much more.

[@shaibal6363]

Amazing. Control, dynamics, speed... wow

[@McCaffreyColin]

The most relaxed and accurate hands I've seen in a long time. Amazing.

[@funanimal4]

friend sent me the linky: DAMN! Fingers flying, consciousness holding on for a perfect ride of a performance! Just like catching a perfect tube.

[@stephenlennartz3466]

Thank you for the inspiration this morning! Beautifully played. I'm a guitarist/pianist/vocalist and just took up mandolin this past week. Wish me luck and thank you again for this lovely performance. Pairs really well with coffee btw!

[@FrankMac59]

What a lovely person and a superb smile.

[@hurley1940]

Freaking awesome. Your picking technique is so fluid and effortless. Wow 🤩

[@paramidge8935]

What a stunning musician - absolutely in her own tradition and absolutely at the bleeding edge. Keep pushing those boundaries young lady and thank you very much.

[@TigerKing77]

Not sure the washing machine jam was awesome but I'm thinking the Bach maybe my new favorite 🌟🌟🌟🌟 you go Sierra

[@Jim_Kay.]

Fantastic playing, and that southern US draw.. Jayyyzus (yes, I’m Irish) 💕

[@normaparks8623]

You blow my mind, always thinking out the box. You are ART!

[@gman2380]

Sierra is a breath of fresh air. A delightful girl indeed and just exudes confidence . Plays beautifully as well as being beautiful herself. A real find on here.

[@guitartec]

Hey Sierra, I hope you, Justin and both your families and friends are all safe and healthy.

[@michaelhawkins1173]

Lovely I enjoyed your playing very much all the practice made perfect.

[@kevinroberts9580]

Sierra Hull has no boundaries with Her Awesomeness. Genres can't contain her

[@stevenpivec8803]

You’re such a boss on the Mando… keep shredding ! Once I picked up the Mandolin I was hooked and instantly upgraded my instrument. Went from metal style to fast picking on Mandolin and it worked out GREAT and was able to find our band with all sorts of roots to start a band that’s more “newgrass” and different style than any band and it’s done us wonders for our following.

[@willmarona4188]

My wife and I have seen you live many times and you NEVER disappoint!!! Stay well and hope to se you soon!

[@SamAlexCaldwell]

Haven seen you since you were a little kiddo at the Jamboree. Very glad too see you still play!

[@petekay67]

Yes, BACH!! Would love you to do an album of Bach.

[@robertingersoll2850]

Ooh, you are going to be near my Mom. Thank you for your marvelous work.

[@jackwilloughby239]

Bach's first paying gig was as a violinist. All of his sons played the violin except the one who was left handed, Johann Christoph I think. He probably taught the violin along the same lines as he taught the Harpsichord: Six months of four note patterns, hands static, in all positions and all keys, quite like Liszt's technical exercises for Piano. I've tried to replicate this Method in my series called "Gripology" for Jazz Violin. What I have found starting as a Bluegrass fiddle player, who got into Bebop with out classical training, is that Classical Training is more geared towards playing Paganini rather than Bach. And this is born out in comments by Henrik Szeryng and Nathan Milstein that "You have to adopt Unconventional Fingering to play Bach!" For me, the big thing was not that it was "unconventional" rather that it was Chromatic based rather than Diatonic. The pedagogy, or approach, to playing the Unaccompanied Bach is really only shared with a Lucky Few, so it can seem Monstrously Difficult! But on the other hand, since I played guitar(flat picking,) I was able to use that knowledge to learn the Prelude in E and the Presto in G minor on the Violin. I just totally ignored the fingering and the bowing and tried to learn it like I would learn Donna Lee for instance, on the Guitar.

[@allanharris970]

Normally I surf guitar videos but now and then check an mando one. That was so clean and smooth. Great job.

[@truman42746]

Never heard Bach played on a mandolin before but if anyone could pull it off it would be you! That was great!

[@josephestes3899]

That’s awesome Miss Sierra. I do apologize. Because that’s all I can say after that one. Ur my hero young’un😉

[@ronanoboyle8432]

Beautiful. You really should come to Ireland (when all this is over)..ye would be so welcomed!!! Many quality festivals over here....especially on west coast 😃😉👍🏻

[@ThreeChordGuitar]

Amazing work, as always. Sierra is such a treasure.

[@emilianomarquez1629]

This is totally not related, but once i was playing in the beach in BC with a bunch of my hippie friends, when this guy comes with a mandolin like yours and just rocks out the most wackiest train hopping songs and totally made our night way cooler in the midst of a beautiful sunset. Love your music.

[@DonChillum]

Watching your fingers dance over the neck gives me an experience that basically is what I guess seeing a true russian ballet would feel like.

[@jnoelization]

Hey Sierra this is Emmy that little girl from Raleigh NC you did a consert there before you became famous!!! Our friend Ron Block introduced my family to you and you played my violin. Anyway hope you are well and I wanted to tell you that I still play fiddle and piano. Hope to see you someday with the rest of the stars even if I'm not playin know this I'll always be singin. - Emmy

[@manuelhaspel6754]

Incredible, fantastic

[@LouderGrawlix]

Pure joy.

[@BulentYazici]

Great !!!

[@jvz773]

Fantastic! I just recently stumbled upon your music here on KZbin. I’m so impressed with your picking speed & accuracy. Do you have any picking tutorial videos? If not, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love a video on your picking technique: how you hold the pick, pluck the strings, maybe some drills and excercises to hone our accuracy and speed, etc. Thanks! Keep up the amazing work. All the best.

[@jacksonfranklin5314]

Beatiful!!!!! Bach is Bach!!!!

[@karenjennings3239]

You are spectacular young lady! Thank you for sharing your talent! God bless you!

[@billsepmeier8444]

Just breathtaking.

[@ravingcyclist624]

Bach wrote some cool stuff for the mandolin! 🙂 Enjoyed it!

[@daigo1952]

Hey girl! I asked you (in Frankfort, IL) if you had any Bach years ago. I played some the next time you were there, so I was thrilled. I am more thrilled to find these videos. Thanks a bunch...!

[@Leviwf]

Absolutely shredding. This is great.

[@jonh901271]

Nice to see a Hull kicking butt!

[@allanharris970]

OK I must do an addendum to my previous post. This video led me to peek at some of your other stuff. Really great playing and very nice vocals. Your guitar work is also very smooth and graceful. Really unique and tasteful as well. What a treat to watch the videos of the various Mandolin's and the very nice Guitar and Vocal work. And some excellent musicians around you. You deserve all the success for sure. If you come near central Illinois I may have to get a couple of my music buddies to attend with me. Keep up the outstanding music. It's not just great playing/singing,,, It's a very enjoyable style to listen to.

[@bulldogwings54]

Oh, Ms Sierra! Outstanding Job, God Bless You and thanks for the wonderful music!

[@herbertwells8757]

In case you’re wondering, this is more or less the first half of the fourth and last movement of Bach’s third violin sonata.

[@NIKONGUY1960]

Not heard from you in a good minute! So good to see your face again.

[@fonwoolridge]

Huge fan since roanoke jam.... This is fab too!

[@utubewillyman]

This seems all so second-nature to you. MUSIC IS NOT EASY. STOP IT.

[@philgray1023]

It's never been easy for me but to my son it is like walking. He started getting lessons from a pro. After 3 weeks he was playing stuff adults struggle with. He had no concept of hard. I noticed by 8 years old, he tuned guitars by ear, not by reference to tuners or pianos. He drives a truck now.

[@KingxJDog]

Phil Gray did he quit?

[@damotheman4196]

@@philgray1023 That was a weird ending to your comment Phil but i've met a few like your son in my time playing. Hope both of ye are happy regardless.

[@JamesDGardner]

Phil Gray yeah I agree that was a strange way that you ended your comment. Is he okay, is he still playing? He shouldn’t ever quit.
