This is the kind of competition where the real winner is us for getting to hear such sublime music. I have nfc why this was in my feed, but I'm sure glad it was!
Chapman Welsh's playing is absolutely fantastic
His friends call him "chappy" or "ol chap" or even "chap stick" on occasion.
he was the most melodically interesting.
Found this video randomly and I’m glad I heard him first. I enjoyed his playing. Beautiful chords.
Props to Hayden for playing on after a string broke!
Great picker ! The show must go on👏👏👏👏👏
so sad too he was ripping it up and got interrupted
Lucky to have any strings left destroying that guitar like that
Fuckin a right 🎉🎉🎉🎉 killed it 😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was pretty dope. My heart definitely skipped a beat when I heard that string break.
Chapman Welch had something different in his playing. Superb stuff!
Chapman Welch has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years. He is one of the most amazing humans, musicians, composers, and guitarists I personally know. He deeply influenced my guitar playing and musicianship early on and continues to today. I am incredibly happy to see him make it to this competition and to the finals. I hope he returns next year. All the guitarists performing in this segment were amazing and he belongs up there with the best of them. Much love, my friend!
Does he have any recordings out anywhere or post on social media? I’d love to hear more of his playing!
Thanks from Scotland for making this wonderful video available to flatpickers of all levels around the world. Well done everyone involved, competitors and volunteer organisers. Keeping it live.
Mike Cramer had a very easy-going, smooth style that I liked. All the performers were wonderful. Wish I could have been there.
Now I'm not quite sure how you can judge somebody making art, let alone hold championships about it, but those musicians all sound wonderful! ♥
Right?
Yes I thought the three finalists were the best though. Maybe they were cleanest most on the beat. Least amount of buzzing. Who knows? They all walk out with new guitars. That’s pretty cool.
Wow my guitars just jumped off the wall and left the room. I think I heard the backdoor slam as they left ! Thank you for the beautiful music . In days like these it is nice to see something that is actually GOOD FOR A CHANGE ! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!
Mine slammed the case shut and won’t let me touch her.
Wow, I think I love everything about this festival. It's great to see that even in 2023 there are still these down-to-earth festivals, where the focus is just on music and the passion that comes along with it. Warms my heart.
Really enjoyed Chapman's playing - nice tune and nice tone. Great playing everyone.
A big thank you to the Acoustic Shoppe for posting this great video. It has been hard to find good videos on the flatpick competition at Winfield in years past.
Congratulations to all of the performers and winners on some spectacular pickin! We're proud to be such long-standing sponsors of Walnut Valley and look forward to many future festivals and competitions. And, of course, a special shout out to Ian Ly for his first place performance! Ian, we hope that CW inspires even more music from you and you enjoy it for many years to come. - The Collings Crew
Thank you so much for being such generous sponsor all these years. He couldn’t stop playing it soon as he got it home, and of course took it with him to IBMA. It really showcase well and for the first time ever, he left the Martin home😊
@@takeadeepbreath6053 So happy to hear, and it was a pleasure meeting Ian at IBMA!
I was wondering what the details of this guitar are ?
Well done Collings
So much talent on one stage. Hayden killed it I tells ya
Thanks Chapman’s for providing the videos of the contests, really appreciate it.
Never get tired of the sheer musicianship.
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Chapman Welch....he has been a musical genius since childhood. People need to know him. virtuosos all around. He is music embodied. Love hearing everything he plays
Thank you guys! I still don’t understand why Walnut Valley will not release complete DVDs in their entirety of all the contestants in each category I would buy every single year. They are sitting on a gold mine and have no clue.
That Ian kid has it, he really deserved 1st place. It's so inspiring to see these fine people keeping their traditions alive, proud of their legacy and passing the torch to the new blood.
Np he didn't. he wasn't even close to the best.
so effortless and not even playing on his limit
Ian was by far technically the best.
You have no clue what youre talking about keyboard warrior @@karmakarrot7960
Mike Cramer was my favorite. Very stylish and soulful playing
I liked him too! irish jig vibes. great tone too from his guitar and string choice.
After a turbulent weekend … this puts the soul at ease. The goodness is oozing
I sure do look forward to this every year. Thank you for filming and sharing, and certainly thank you to all the hardworking and talented musicians.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for filming and posting this. Much appreciated.
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Incredible they managed to get Wes Anderson to direct this
Very pastel colour palette
I thought Chapman's first tune was the most thoughtful, musical piece of all of them. The melody remained throughout the whole performance.
Clean as country water! Great stuff from start to finish. Loved all of the players. Guitar is the winner here.
Everyone was phenomenal. Great pickin!
Oh my what a treat... now back to the video...
That was fun to watch. All of them are great! A lot of tasty playing
Thanks very much for posting this. So much unreal talent out there in the flatpicking world. Love seeing this.
man i loved watching all these guys, but holy cow do i love watching and listening to ian play. magnificent.
I knew that kid was gonna win as soon as he started picking 👏🏻 Well done sir!
Great to hear these fantastic musicians. Thanks team TAS.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing the test of the contests.
Ian Ly...outstanding! Great from all...
That was great fun to watch. Everyone was incredible!
Ian is such a G. Fantastic improviser and so much fun to pick with!
Saw Ian Ly’s performance last year and really dug his playing…killer stuff he definitely earned that first place spot!
Big two weeks for Ian. Won the guitar contest, then Band of the Year at the IBMA Momentum Awards with Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band. 😅❤
They are all winners….great pickers here….not an easy gig.
Edited: Big thanks Acoustic Shoppe❤
I love watching the competition live. Then at night they come and jam with us mortals. Always love my week at Winfield.
It's so hard to be perfect on demand. Most recordings we hear are the best from multiple takes, and that spoils many listener's expectations. Bravo to all these guys for their years of hard work and willingness to put themselves out there to be publicly judged.
Thanks to UA-cam for having the function to slow down playback! I’ve just stumbled across my flat picking chop builder for this year! 😅 Awesome playing!
Thank you for the song. Mr. Martin cheers me up as well...
Dang that Collings is sweet!!!!
Man I liked them all . Everyone is really good I don’t know how you pick. All puns intended 👏
Sounds beautiful all of it
Congratulations Ian. Very well done.
I ain't got enough years left to practice enough to play on that stage.
Noice Ian! Shoutout from Santa Cruz.
This is so live. Beautiful, the first tune. Thank you, guys, great job!
Beautiful guitar playing, a pleasure to listen to - thank you
Thank you for posting this video! It's hard to find time for the picking championship with all the shennagins and concerts going on at WVFest. I'm enjoying this!
Something special about the way Hayden plays
A beautiful focus and urgency in his playing.
Congrats to a well deserved champion. 👏 🎉
All of them were amazing!
NICE TO HEAR THE CONTESTENTS' GUITAR WITHOUT 5 BACKUP GUITARS SURROUNDING HIM . ALL ARE GREAT
So glad y'all videoed this again! I really enjoyed it. Congrats everyone! All the finalists were outstanding... Hayden did great when that string broke... and Ian sounded just like his teacher Jake - great tone and creativity!
Thanks for posting!
all amazing - thanks for laying it down
Love the guy who keeps going after his string breaks.
Fantastic. Thanks and sending greetings from Sweden.❤️❤️❤️
This brings a smile to my face and a party in my ears. 🤙🤠
No idea how I got to this video, but I'm glad I did. Outstanding!
same here
All of them are amazing players.
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
awesome peformance. Love the song tribute to Martin by the 1st place Ian.
And the brake rotor ballast for the mic.
character.
Gee whiz how do you pick? All were just great. I did want to comment on Mike Cramer's version of Soldier's Joy. I love the way he gets down low on the song and hits the big strings!
Great show.... Great flat pickers... Congratulatukns everyone 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Congrats to all!
Really good players! Inspiring!
Watched the whole thing ,Loved it, I picked Ian the winner .
Those strings just couldn’t keep up with Hayden's pure talent! Well done!
These guitars all sound great!
Wow, these are some seriously fine musicians.
Clean picking.
Hayden is a great talent 😮 👍
Such unpretentious beauty and skill. The tone and progressions are so subtle and deft. As a trying to be flat picker, I am inspired by their approach and courage.
Good luck with your journey!
That D18 song was so fuckin sick
That was just lovely.
That was awesome! Broken string, my heart sank. What guitar was Mike Cramer playing there, something incredible! They all were awesome!
An Olsen guitar. Big money
I did a little digging, it looks like it was actually a David Vincent Slope D dreadnought. From what I can find, he won it at the 2012 Minnesota flatpicking championships. I'm searching everywhere to find out what the woods are, and I can't seem to find it. I think that's a one off guitar David built specifically for the competition. Tonally, it reminds me of an oak and Adirondack guitar, maybe some sort of European spruce instead of red spruce. I really like it whatever it is, I'm gonna keep searching! :)
Great Job IAN LY!
Greetings from Germany. I love the famous flatpicking.
Nothin beats live music , and talent
Dang, how can they be this good? Time to practice more, I guess. Thanks for posting.
At 13:28 that quick bend Danny did, thats what guitar was made for. Music to my ears
Ian Ly was so smooth 15:40
all of them great in their own right loved it
So beautiful. Pat ? won this in 2010 or so and he was my instructor for a few sessions. These guys are incredible
Lovely stuff. All these great players seem really humble and deserving, so I can't choose a favourite. I will say that Ian Ly deserved his prize, but they're all great.
Technical as hell, but always melodic and accessible for the layman, should any be listening!
What I take away as an inferior picker is the importance of a relaxed right hand action. Not just for tone and articulation, but for SWING! All the best players can swing, not just jazz guys. The great EVH certainly did (though not noted for his flat picking 😂)
Very inspiring!
Mike Cramer's songs were super dope
Mike Cramer! He has no idea how closely I follow what he's been doing on UA-cam. I've learned several tunes the way that he plays them, though not yet very clean. Those are great prizes!
Beautiful
Hayden blew my mind amazing!!!
This was fantastic.
5:53 ooooh don't even know what it was but I love it
Chapman fella was playing some serene classical soundin music there for a good bit
This is nice. Everyone wins here.
I was clapping at home lol!
I really enjoyed seeing this! Thanks for posting these amazingly talented guitarists. It’s especially awesome to see some younger flat pickers playing music that really is part of Americana.
I’m a NYC Slicker lol, but my family went on road trips to nearly every US state and most of eastern Canada for anywhere between 10 days to 3 weeks every summer depending on how much time my mom could get off from work. My widowed mom would save all year so we could pack up the van and make some amazing, unique memories after going through the traumatic experience of my dad being diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer at age 37 and passing away just after he turned 41. Anyway, I was always really happy as a child, teen, and into my adulthood when we would pass through states that had live bluegrass and other forms of country music. I was never a huge fan of recorded mainstream country music - I really preferred rock, metal, pop punk, etc.; fortunately, my parents and grandparents always exposed us to a wide variety of music from our country and all over the world, so I always enjoyed and appreciated all types of genres. We would see all types of live music along the way on these trips, but bluegrass was always the most impactful and memorable. Seeing average people playing extraordinary music in intimate live settings like little gigs, museums, outdoor flea markets, etc. definitely impacted my younger self positively and helped me develop an appreciation for flat picking into my adulthood.
I only started playing guitar in March 2020. I’m now 42. Not sure if I will ever learn to flat pick at a world class level, but I always learn some interesting techniques and ideas from bluegrass players. That being said, it’s really nice to see some of the best guitarists from around the country compete every year. Thanks so much for posting this footage!
For the organizers of this competition, have you considered making an online contest possible? Or even a beginner/intermediate level online contest? Many people can’t travel due to poor health, lack of money to fund the trip, etc. It could be a great way to get many more people involved over the course of a month where the public and a panel of judges get to vote on the players who make it to the next round. I’d definitely love to partake in something like that. I’ve been disabled since 2003, but I became very ill in 2018 and have been homebound since 2019. It would be amazing to have the opportunity to take part in an online contest geared to players at the same level . It would be neat to get some prizes together, but it would still be plenty of fun without winning anything - or maybe it can raise money for a good cause like helping g people like me who are sick and can’t afford guitars/gear/accessories get some help (there is help out there for school children and veterans, but nothing else I’ve found that helps adults who are sick and have monetary hardships). If you’d be interested in organizing this type of event, please send me a private msg on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (links in bio) so I can share my idea in more detail. Thanks! 🙏🏻😇🎸❤️
Okay I got a dumb question. What is the definition of flatpick.
I'm a guitar player from a totally different genre. I've never heard of this.
@@maxammo6282”Flatpicking” just means plucking the strings with a single, flat pick (in contrast to “finger picking,” which can be done with a curved pick on each finger or with no picks at all). It also entails plucking individual notes instead of strumming chords. So basically anyone who’s ever played a guitar solo is “flatpicking,” even though they may not use that term.
@@gwynthegnome2050 oh okay I get it, I kind of figured but I wasn't sure.
Do you ever see any one from the metal genre entering any of these competitions ?
I've seen some of these metal guys do some amazing things 🤯
Nice rendition of st annes reel even with a broken string ,deserves a prize 😊😊
Go Ian! That’s my boooyyy!
Hooray for everybody
Baroque isn’t dead. Beautiful.
