Lord, I love how the Dobro sounds. Makes me wish I could play it. Jerry Douglas is one of the best Dobro players around. Nobody plays it like him.

[@uum6]

This man is more than just your bro, my bro, he is DOBRO.

[@SmokieJay]

Ehhhh

[@gened9787]

As of this writing, there are 49 idiots that gave this video a thumb down. I was browsing and came across this and thought I would give it a listen. I never heard of this guy before. Beautiful music and playing. 2 thumbs up!!!

[@dearbornsavoy]

Oh my god, Jerry Douglas playing "American Tune". I am beyond beyond.

[@thomasscoville1148]

Paul Simon! via JS Bach. Thanks. I knew I had heard it, but it was so heavily ornamented I wasn't sure.

[@ron.v]

Hahaha, I was wondering if anyone recognized Paul Simon's tune.

[@andylee8299]

Man this is beautiful as well as inspiring, jerry is the reason I started playing dobro

[@K131399]

When him, Tony, Sam, Bela, and Mark would play together at festivals and stuff, find me a stage blessed with more raw talent, not to mention they were adding to the legacy of the greatest art ever created in America!

[@Classics1w1]

What’s the song

American Tune (Paul Simon)@@Classics1w1

[@handstandish]

Gorgeous music Jerry. Love the playing. Love the sound of slide guitar.

[@Banjo362]

Jerry is a master of the Dobro, that was beautiful.

[@rpotter6147]

Why not just move on and not vote a thumb down. This is the best Dobro you will ever hear.

[@kennethproctor8205]

If you can find it anywhere, give a listen to his album Changing Channels....not country dobro...more of a jazz feel...but you won't believe how good it sounds

[@kennethproctor8205]

[@MarkusBoettner]

Absolutely agree! This is what angels' harps sound like! :)

[@sw3929]

I bet Curtis Lowe could play a pretty mean Dobro..just saying

[@thinweasel1]

Andy hall is amazing as well

[@Zerpentile93]

Dobros sound great. So clean.

[@joshmc333]

The instrument itself is not inherently "clean" - Jerry is just the best to ever play one!

[@jscountrygirl85_326]

One of my favorite instruments in country music. Always loved how it sounds. A lot of the country music from the late 80's and early 90's I grew up with features the lovely sound of the dobro. I believe Jerry actually played on many of those records.

[@laxnative4622]

Just saw him tonight in concert in Beverly Hills with Tommy Emmanuel. Crowd loved him and his bass player. What a beautiful sound.

[@Stringman1950]

The absolute best dobro player. Such feeling and never a wrong note.

[@derekjohn4412]

Stringman1950 He is second to none

[@Stringman1950]

Jerry is humble and has an amazing repertoire. He seems to never forget a melody or harmony. What a true joy.

[@matthewcarroll733]

Jerry would be the first to tell you..wrong notes happen.. professionals know how to make them sound right to the listener

[@dennisross901]

He is so awesome, you feel like you're in a better place.

[@custodioguitar]

Just Great. More or less 40 years ago, I had the chance to talk to this Master of Dobro, in Lisbon - Portugal. He's a very nice person, and plays great. Very good version of the "American Tune" played by Jerry on Dobro. Thanks.

[@Banjo362]

I like the the sound of a Dobro it has a nice mellow sound and its sweet sounding.

[@johnwatson3026]

top class is JERRY DOUGLAS,WHAT A GLORIOUS ARTIST...:)

[@13Silveraven]

Best Dobro player in the World !!

[@shaunmcinnis1960]

Those harmonious slides,..so so powerful. Heavenly

[@1besieged]

Most of you should recognize Mr. Jerry Douglas of the band Union Station , they play songs with Alison Krauss, all heavenly beautiful music, wonderful Mr. Douglas, smooth & perfect, makes so many emotions come from one's heart to hear you play so beautifully! Bravo!!

[@nelsoncolorado3355]

The most beautiful instrument ever played

[@HikeColorado]

I’d never heard of Jerry until last night when he joined Derek Truck’s on stage and jammed at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Wow, huge fan now 👍❤️👏

[@maxine54560]

I was first introduced to Jerry Douglas on United Breaks Guitars. I have been a fan ever since. Beautiful!

[@Sparks53]

For many years Jerry was lightyears ahead of any players out there and it is only in the last decade that some players have come very close to playing with his ability. He will always remain the master in my book.

[@dirtmansimages]

Thank you John and Ed Dopyera for giving us an amazing instrument to hear!

[@mickeymousey1239]

ahhhhh so soothing he's truly one of the best!!!

[@clintballinger1370]

All i have to say is...WOW!!

[@FL-BEACH-MAN]

This is why he won 14 Grammys , wow

[@acutiepie]

Amazing....and beautiful...Love his music..Only one Jerry Douglas Dobro Master.. !

[@TheGolfFanatic1993]

He is from my little hometown in Ohio spoke to my sisters graduating class this year funny that there is hardly any articles about him in my hometown paper.. I guess no one appreciates good music.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

probably after he's dead and gone years from now they'll probably Janis Joplin him in your hometown. if you don't get my drift feel free to reply and I can expunge

[@Vesnicie]

Well you know what they say about prophets and their hometowns...

[@dannilaser16]

dakota they must be liberals.

[@dannilaser16]

Brendan Mather they tend to not have an appreciation for good music.

[@Tracymmo]

​@@dannilaser16 Warren, Ohio is liberal? [snort] It's Rust Belt, a place that was never "liberal" even when it was solidly blue. But maybe when Warren voted heavily for Trump (because he said he'd save the GM plant, which he then failed to do) they started listening to the pop country dreck that's probably all over your radio. As a liberal, I shouldn't be here at all apparently. I'll go throw out my jazz, blues, classic country, classical, and early rock and roll to tune in to the musical genius that is Toby Keith.

[@Thomas-ys4rc]

KEEP IT COUNTRY. ❤

[@loge10]

And he looks so unaffected (as in affectation) - a really great guy (I met back in the early 2000's when his deity level was reaching his ultimate).

[@bretchamberlain8285]

stunning

[@lucylou100]

A very nice Beard Dobro too! Truly a master.

[@isluman1619]

Such beautiful music, looking forward to seeing Jerry this year at Telluride!!!

[@Papatrain77]

Jerry is one reason I own a dobro. Greg Booth is another. Can't play like they do, but it sure is fun to try!

[@jedinaiit2345]

What kind did you get?

[@BirdYoumans]

@@jedinaiit2345 Regal. Middle of the road at best, but good enough to learn on. Actually recorded a few tracks with it in the fills. Sounded OK. Would sound a lot better in Jerry's hands though lol!

[@jedinaiit2345]

@@BirdYoumans that’s awesome. Maybe I’ll find a regal as well and give it a go. Cheers!

I have a feeling that Chris Rea would sound so very awesome playing that instrument..... In my opinion, Chris Rea plays the slide guitar better than anyone. Ever. Love the sound. ♥️

Jerry Douglas is without a doubt the best living Dobro musician there is. Josh Graves was the greatest ever. Jerry has accredited Josh as his influence.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

According to Alison Krauss Jerry is the greatest ever, and of course she's totally unbiased ;). He produced her first record for Rounder.
