fantastic banjo & singing bluegrass performance Tyler ,,,,,,,,,,,greetings Renee from Australia

Cool!

I have a good few examples of these little “human” elements in old recordings. My favourite is on an old Clayton McMichen record. During the fiddle break, the guitar player (Riley Puckett) keeps playing this super annoying and repetitive G run. Each time he does it, he goes a little more off beat. I don’t know if he did it on purpose to trip up Clayton, but it cracks me up whenever I hear it.

When I took jazz band I had this professor, he said he kinda dreaded classical music because how you're supposed to play is how it's written on the sheet, there's no room for interpretation, but when he started playing jazz is where he really found himself, because nothing is a mistake, it's personal expression. That being said there's another term in jazz, in the pocket. When you play in the pocket it means you've got it down so well, you're not just playing it, you got it locked in, the syncopation, the anticipation, the groove, the way you're in sync with the rest of the band. It might sound elitist but when Ralph messed up he wasn't playing in the pocket. They should have stopped right there and re recorded. As for the throat clearing tho, the way he did it definitely got some personal expression in it.

This is why i love this channel, real people and real artists, no matter how experienced we are, making real music and understanding the heart and soul of what our music is really supposed to be, i am so thankful I've found a group of like minded friends that keep this music alive still today and inspire me to keep playing the music that i love so much. Thanks everyone!!!

Underrated video

I love it when I hear ‘em spittin’ tobaccy!

This is all the more relevant a discussion since the rise of AI-rendered so-called "music".

I’ve always loved the little mislicks and mashed notes on old records… I love in Roll in My Sweet Baby’s Arms how Earl in his backup goes a fret flat and instantly corrects it mid roll… it ain’t just music. In today’s society it’s astonishing how much of the human element is being or already has been eliminated. Take all these automatic machines when you call places such as pharmacies and other places of business… we’ve almost been automated to death!

This why I like a lot of field recordings, probably. They're about documenting the music rather than presenting it as a commodity; actually UA-cam is a good repository of unedited performances once you get down to the smaller channels catering to specialised audiences. Zak Sokolow loses a string off the bridge at the end of one of his older videos and laughs it up - doesn't hurt anything to leave it in and invites you to have a laugh too. Jobless Worried Blues, I think.

I think it’s the mixers, back then they just sang around one mic nothing fancy. It came from the heart and wasn’t messed with. Also I noticed in the old Stanley brothers songs at the end you’ll hear them lean back in their chairs which I’ve always found cool!!

Definitely a lot to think about. I think musicians tend to obsess over "perfection" in their performances, anything that falls even slightly short of robotic precision is deleted and redone. Seeing a favourite musician fumble a chord or hit a flat note can be really endearing and there is humour and personality to be found in it. You gotta laugh it off. We seem to be afraid of mistakes or imperfection and so try to erase it

And going even farther back in time it’s a shame that singing and playing music among families got replaced by radio, TV, records, CDs, and now internet. Growing up the only place I got real live music was at church. Nobody hardly plays music anymore. And if you do play music other people would rather listen to their digital recordings anyway

Do y'all ever notice this or feel the same way? What do you think happened along the way to make modern music so overproduced?

I never knew the back story to the song, really interesting to hear Proffitt's family history. Great as always. Loving the bolo tie of course

Thanks once again Tyler, sounding great!

Whoa ... sizzling. Nobody Came also grabbed my attention, so clearly I should educate myself about the Gillis Brothers.

The rooster appreciate......good tune and picking...the rooster is it french ?😅

This is what I call grass right here… definitely no cutter cookie stuff like a lot of the “modern” sound today…! That damn rooster at the end knew it too!😁

Crazy good man! Love the Gillis brothers! Wish they’d come back! Heard they were a few years back but also heard they decided against it for whatever reason? Anyway… you slayed it here buddy!👍👍👍👍

Crazy good playin

The rooster really liked it! Me too!

That first break up the neck was nuts! Well done, brother! 😁

beautiful picking as always!

Lyrics: Lord I never knew the right way Many times I called your name in vain But when my life is down in trouble I always seem to call your name In a church house Sunday morning I prayed for the Lord to save me there He bid me to come and listen On my knees I said a prayer I want to walk the righteous pathway To that mountain up yonder I will climb In your footsteps I will follow To my home upon Mount Zion

A classic done right! 🔥

Love that one! Love your Mountain style banjo!👍

Beautiful tune Sir. 🎶🪕🎶

Anyways very well done Tyler 🔥

I'm going down a rabbit hole looking up his family. His niece died this year on January 18. He does have living blood was just a bit hard to find.

Great sounding. Thanks

What's the banjo tuning?

You can make that banjo ring ❤ and your singing is so nice

Really good ,love it 👍💪🇺🇸

That one slapped me plumb in the calaboose!

Very nice! [But the real poors rep Rural King and Key.]

You’re killing it brother! Would you mind dropping the tuning in your descriptions? Glad I came across your channel

This is great!!!!

I could play Wild Bill Jones all day! Earlier I played Jubilee for 30 minutes.

Awesomeness!👍

i like this a lot :)

your enthusiasm really comes through in your playing, you make that bright, ringing, bell-like aspect of the instrument really come through, at times it's got a sitar twang, it's really beautiful, and your vocals compliment it flawlessly. I often curse the youtube algorithm for serving up slop, but your channel is pure gold.

Excellent picking, I’m telling that 3-2-5-1 roll is the supreme roll for two finger banjo, i started messing around with it on this tune and it sounds fantastic as well.
