Little Medley - Jerry Douglas

Jerry Douglas - Dobro

[@Fjornr]

16 years later and I still come back here, what a great talent!

[@canadianroot]

In every genre of music or specific instrument category, there are people who stand out from the crowd so much that they are almost without peer. Jerry Douglas is one of them. Sort of like, "There's Jerry, and then there's everybody else."

[@Amp389lanG]

canadianroot: no "Sort of like" about it! There IS Jerry, and then everybody else. Peerless on Dobro...

[@lh7801]

Amen

[@jackvalentine566]

Then there is josh graves and everybody else* Jerry is a close second though

[@melcina]

I saw him live, in a small setting, when all he had out was one cassette tape. I have been in love with his music ever since. He is a Master!

[@danflowers7]

Jerry is one of my greatest inspirations as a player for my life... and I've been playing guitar of one kind or another for 35 years... then I got to meet hem. He is as gracious and considerate as he is talented. And, because of his encouragement I'm now working with the Dobro... inspiring. :)

[@jimdamiano994]

I Love this. I'll forever be a Jerry Douglas fan!

[@chasewrenn7109]

Until you try and play this instrument will you appreciate how amazing his playing is. Well done

[@EzyoMusic]

Even with frets I can't do anything substantial. Let alone with just a bar.

[@MrPoodleguy]

Jerry Douglass - simply the best!!

[@retreathighlands7014]

Just seen this man up at Telluride Bluegrass Festival and he is beyond amazing!! If you ever have a chance to see him, GO!! If it's a few states away, even better....road trip!!!

[@jaylilly1]

Love the Allman brothers tribute little Martha, one of my favorite. Thanks

[@laserr20]

I absolutely love it! I can't get enough of Jerry's Dobro playing.

[@prakashlingden9190]

listen to jerry duo with pandit vishwa mohan bhatt overtones and stained glass,missipi mud,bourbon and rose water, resurrication,

[@TaZ101SAGA]

Jerry will always be the Dobro master

[@Terenuretina]

Jerry's fingers are like buttlerfly wings. He is so gifted ... there is just no-one like him.

[@miranriznar]

Jerry je mojster te kitare. Prav posebno doživetje je poslušati ga. Imam vse njegove albume. Vsaka mu čast...

[@andrewmcguire8529]

Sublime, can listen to him all day

[@qwerty38307]

I have to show this to all my teenage friends. Maybe they will finally understand why I like this kind of music.

[@ramseydaugherty5515]

He is hands down the very best to have, or will ever, play the resignator guitar, otherwise known as the dobro. Thank you Jerry, please keep playing. Nothing but love from the Top Of TEXAS

[@tjw27529]

Mad-props for a GOAT Dobro-man!!! So darn good!!

[@musicianforjesus]

I heard him play this medley when I saw AKUS in Lewisburg West Virginia. I love the way he works Little Martha in. Hes always been a favorite of mine.

[@scotchman1012]

it,s so amazing. Jerry ist the best. Best wishes from the westcoast from germany. Mike

[@johnnybub]

jerry 'flux" douglas is a musicians musician, he isnt limited to bluegrass, folk, blues, jazz or rock,,he can play it all, Ive been watching him since we were both 18 yrs old at the bluegrass festivals with jd crowe, then the whites,, a very nice friendly man, down to earth,, but magical!

[@giraffe9752]

Finally got my Dobro yesterday :) going to be playing like this in no time ;P

[@MagicAccent]

And did you? :)

[@nickycallicutt9743]

😂😂😂😂

[@bostonmariner6738]

He's an amazing talent. He makes the dobro sound like many more instruments than one, and the music he makes is SO expressive! It's amazing how he moves from one piece to another while making it sound effortless. And I just love "Monkey Let The Hogs Out"!!

[@XaeroQ3]

Dobro is very very cool, luv the tune!

[@dannycraig6873]

Fuce

[@HowardWimshurst]

the GOAT

[@chemistryset1]

this guy is just incredible, what a talent, what a feel - not sure even someone like Ry Cooder at his peak could pull off something like this ..

[@kippersinabox]

Oh, I think they're both great in their own right. Douglas is awesome, and I love Cooder for his sound too.

[@NastyJ007]

This video is Freakin awesome!!!!! Jerry D. is the man!!!! thx 4 the great sound quality tomtscotland great vid

[@Jenxxie]

Awesome JD, just awesome !

[@romeoromero808]

mumford & sons feat. jerry dougglas brought me here. this is awesome!!

[@EzyoMusic]

For me it was the other way around - I saw that he was featured when I checked the album out and I was like "YAY JERRY DOUGLAS!". Seems to happen more and more often these days with various artists. :3

[@nathanmilnthorpe11]

This Guy! Seriously Such Talent :-) if I could play Dobro even half as good as this I would be so Happy

[@deferre]

A great master! Not only a virtuoso, but tasteful playing till the last note. :-)

[@southroncross]

One word...amazing!

[@hawaiiandobroblues]

I met Jerry last night. Very nice man!

[@chadfengel]

and maybe the best musician in the world too.. amazing talent!

[@TheSarah730]

Lots of Jerry Douglas on the Get Low soundtrack!! Wonderful Sounds!!

[@bilbocroft1]

Ah, obvioulsy a man of great eloquence as well a impressive musical intellect.

[@davidmolyneux5289]

Congratulations!!! You have won a medal!!!!

[@crossfiremechanix]

MMM Love that little Allman brothers lick he threw in!

[@helendreyer5156]

Specifically "Little Martha". The bros. would be proud.

[@RichardFeynmanRules]

Good beyond description! thanks for posting this. what a master!

[@aylettkish2924]

OMG! Holy Cow! Yeee Hah! I can't stop the tears! Thank you so much!

[@rednecksam95]

Awesome. Love that sweet intro

[@Zerpentile93]

Holy shit. That sound is awesome.

[@MrBfennell]

He threw in "Little Martha" at the end. I think I might be crying.

[@HarleyWillem]

I like metal, rock, classical, country, all real music......but this is unreal. Hail to the king, baby.(yes, evil dead)

[@Silopanna63]

Who in their right mind would give that a thumbs-down is beyond me.

[@onehipdawg]

Simply amazing!

[@RickCogley]

Wow, what a player. Amazing.

[@duhg599]

Imagine Jerry Douglas collaborating with Derek Trucks. So much gorgeous slide work!

[@FriedEggsWithChips]

America's best dobro player. :)

[@LycoValleyRRFan]

Good Luck. I'm getting one soon and hope to be at least half this good.

[@philxbx]

Gotta be the best I've heard!

[@BeckyPoC]

I love Jerry Douglas. I named my last cat after him (and my current cat is named Bela).

[@unturnthisstone]

How dobros must yearn to be touched by Jerry Douglas...

[@musicianforjesus]

He is on several of the Alison Krauss and Union Station videos. Hes on Maybe, Let Me Touch You For Awhile, The Lucky One, New Favorite, Restless, Goodbye is All We Have and If I Didn't Know Any better. I think hes in Steel Rails and I've Got That Old Feeling as well.

[@andrewmunro44]

thats awsome , good playing man!!

[@mikeyb1212]

Outstanding!

[@Stringman1950]

THE BEST!!!

[@fasteddie1257]

Alison Kraus and the Union Station would be incomplete w/o Jerry.. no doubt.

[@FriedEggsWithChips]

I just had omelette and chips for dinner. Delicious!

[@marnin1960]

Wowowow! This is awesome! :-)

[@rednecksam95]

I play bluegrass dobro in open g and so tried a similar lick but it didnt sound right so i tuned to open d and it sounded bit better. Id love to be able to play like jerry!

[@TaZ101SAGA]

i heard somewhere that he was regarded as one of the finest musicians in the world

[@captbanjo1]

I've long believed just that!

[@buzzracer69ify]

The best ever !!

[@shadowsdad903]

Amazing !

[@alonzogarbanzo]

Dunno if you ever got a complete answer on this, but Dobros (and their metal-bodied cousins the Nationals) and other resonator guitars can be played the way JD is doing it---this is standard for dobro, face-up and addressed vertically, with action way high (who needs frets?) and strings very tense (better for slide), or held like guitar, which is the most common way you see Nationals played, with or without slide. (continued)

[@bigboijc]

that's MISTER MASTER JERRY DOUGLAS!

[@twlvhrs]

I'm a fan...what can I say

[@RandyStrubleBackingTracks]

Very nice!!

[@sergiovexenat6134]

Realy a Great Master of guitar. Jerry is a Genius!

[@bichomaldito]

what a virtuoso JD is.

[@flatpicker15]

that's 4:19 of my life that i would love to rewind and do again.

[@cuzinkevin]

Just magic

[@jessecline4226]

Love his hat tip to Duane with little Martha. Jerry, much like Duane, is head and shoulders above the rest.

[@BATENKILL]

Jerry douglas is the best that has ever lived and slayes dragons in hell with his axe and fears nothing!

[@MrTelejohn]

I have officially titled this man the "Dobro dictator'.

[@rubentschernutter2093]

00:25 haha japan fusion trance sound AWESOME VIDEO!

[@MrDanecookie]

I Love 'Little Martha ' by allman Bros. and Dickie Betts....

[@joshuajsc]

great stuff!

[@LEON4PRES]

He did an album called "changing Chanels". Super cool if you can find it.

[@tedrhodesgolf]

he's the best in the world

[@okay_sure_cool]

so impressive. and i don't usually enjoy this kind of music!

[@hawaiiandobroblues]

Jerry Douglas is GOD.

[@CosmicXRay]

seen him live - Jerry is the same, only better a very funny guy onstage as well

[@WGBader]

From 0:02:14 to 0:03:24 is "Little Martha", by the legendary Duane Allman, the unequaled Mt. Everest of slide guitar.

[@giraffe9752]

Well actually! I just recently got the Mr Jerry Douglas to sign my resonator guitar, along with a few pointers and a picture! I have also played it in front of a crowd a few times in the past few weeks. So overall, quite well!

[@tomtscotland]

You're right - good tip, thanks!

[@ABFABF183]

I love it

[@juspasenthru]

Wicked sick.

[@joker86CJ]

Wild West calling over there!!

[@breizhun77]

the best

[@alonzogarbanzo]

(continued) Either guitar can be set up (except for square-neck Dobros) with action low enough to fret if that's your preference; but nobody can effectively fret a high- and tight-strung Dobro. That's strictly for slide work.

[@rugmop]

He's a bloody showoff, and aren't we glad he is?

[@maverickdallas100]

bernie mcdonald Maybe so, but he's got the mettle to back it up!

[@karinablacktie]

@bigroy38 He's also her producer.

[@robertinoferro7506]

Excelente! Recuerda a Stephen Stills.-

[@Stratomite]

"All rounds to dobro eventually lead to Jerry Douglas"--John Fogerty

[@jeffbuesing]

A bit of Leo Kottke going on. Only taken to some other planet. Fabulous.

[@johnnydobroboy]

3 people didn't dislike jerry douglas... 3 people disliked the fact they cant play like ol jerry does :)

[@Teleman01]

I tried to learn Dobro. Problem I had was that I wanted to play just like him. So I had had to put it down for a while.

[@gabrielcunneen2863]

2019??

[@StratBeer]

sounds like rye cooter good stuff

[@southern428]

AND THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT.
