You're right, he didn't! You can see in the video I tried to be a little careful with my words because I hadn't been able to find a conclusive answer. I take full responsibility for doing that, I don't want to spread misinformation. A more detailed history, the album was recorded in January of 1975, it was later that year that Bobby Slone helped Tony Rice track the antique down. That's why there's so many pictures of Tony playing Clarence's guitar with JD. When Tony Rice got the guitar he hung out with Grisman at a recording session for James Taylor's Gorilla album. Allegedly, Tony cut some takes for the album which would make that album Tony's first recording with Clarence White's guitar. But it doesn't sound like they used any of Tony's takes. Thanks for the correction Mandohat!!
This break changed my life. I was playing rhythm for an ensemble just about a year, I was relatviely new to bluegrass from my past rock/metal past but loved it all. Anyway, the group would look at me to take my break and I would just shake my head and let someone else take it since in bluegrass a lot of the princibles from other styles of guitar playing can't really be applied without extensive corelation of the techniques and timing, it just seemed too hard for me at the time. Then I stumbled onto Tony Rice (who of course I had been listening to prior to that) and J.D. Crow's live performance of "Old Home Place" and Tony's break had me by the ear then something clicked. It made me dive deeper and deeper into the bluegrass technique untill that was all I seemed to be doing on a daily basis. About two weeks after that I was taking breaks. This break is THE break that got me to start playing breaks and it means the world to me. I was 19 then and 28 now, and I haven't looked back. Also, i've never seen a hearing aid battery changed. Neat. lol Love your videos man.
WOW!!! Now THAT'S what I call a JAM PACKED LESSON!! Lots of history, cool stories, pictures, theory, scales, a pretty hot lick all broken down....GOLLEEEEE!!!! And all that presented by....Da Biggest n Baddest Billy Goat in da Barnyard!!! You are definitely "Juan en Emillion" amigo!!! Can't thank you enough!!!! 😀😀😀🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🎼🎼🎼
Floating.....brains blown out! Thanks marcel - What i Love about learning a solo is the way it forces practice and makes fruit in other parts of my playing and is like insty- material for other breaks to work on!
John Starling has always been and probably will always be my top favourite 3 singers/entertainers in the world of bluegrass music thanks in large part to a wonderful local banjo player in our town. He exposed/taught me many valuable things when it came to life and bluegrass music in general. One of the most important being the simple art of actually listening to music in general. Otherwise I feel I would have missed out on a lot of amazing accomplishments in Bluegrass music. He was like a father to me and I miss him a lot. May he rest in peace.
Great stuff and greater playing. I grew up near Warrenton, Va, near the home of Bluegrass Unlimited. I grew hearing The Country Gentlemen, Seldom Scene, Bill Harrell & the Virginians, JD Crowe & the New South at local festivals. Awesome
These videos are so cool- not just sharing tabs but going into the music theory and history behind these songs. The bluegrass and jazz songs you pick are perfect, and there is always been one song I’ve never been able to find tabs or chords for and that’s Tony’s Mar East. If you could find any information about this song, it would be incredible
Thanks.Marcel! Quite apart from the break, that was the most perfect potted history of JD Crowe and the New South ( album not band) and Old Home Place ever! I might mention Doyle Lawson went on to form the very influential Quicksilver a while after leaving JD and a long spell with the Country Genrlemen. Mainly a mandolin and banjo player.
Thanks for being forthcoming about your hearing aids. I finally got some last year (needed them for 40 yrs) and it's changed everything. Birds chirp! Who knew?
I’ve been living with right ear hearing loss due to German Measles as a child. I’ve been told to get a hearing aid, but I’ve resisted. My resistance comes in handy when my wife complains about something.
Great music/history lesson. On the history side, for anyone interested, Clarence White's brother, Roland, also appeared in the Andy Griffith show with Clarence. He's the one picking the mandolin, and still does to this day, albeit a little hairier and a lot greyer. (Don't know if he's gone to using hearing aids, though.)
They don’t call it the legendary Rounder 0044 album for nothing. And speaking of legendary, it’s crazy to me that you don’t have 10X the subscribers you have.
@@dionst.michael1482 crazy enough such that his sub count actually more than 10X’d. So, I guess not that crazy at all. See ya in another 4 years. Cheers.
One of the things I notice about Bluegrass is that there are many Basic Licks that are injected into Bluegrass songs and lick patterns that occur over and over again.... Do you have a video on this or are you thinking of doing one?
I’m well on my way to letting somebody else figure it out and just hiring him to play with me. Can’t we just do that? Sounds a lot less painful to me. Lol!
I wish I could do that 🤦♂️. I just can’t keep up with the machine gun rate Of notes to flat pick. I have to figure out a carter style way of playing everything lol. Just the basic melody 🎵. I call it the front porch version 😂
In the video I referenced sometimes he doesn't play what's on the record at all! I just used the performance video to check which fingers he uses to approach that one funky floating section which he does play like the record in that video. Hopefully any other finger choices I changed (read: not notes but fingerings!) are inconsequential!
He didnt own clarence's guitar when they recorded that album though. From still inside book

PS I have always liked the second part of my current break for this tune, so to pop this infront of things is going to be SWEET!

Haven't transcribed that one yet! Definitely have a couple off that album I've yet to share though.
Thanks.Marcel! Quite apart from the break, that was the most perfect potted history of JD Crowe and the New South ( album not band) and Old Home Place ever!

Think i just found my new favorite channel. What an awesome teacher u r thanks for this
Thanks for being forthcoming about your hearing aids. I finally got some last year (needed them for 40 yrs) and it's changed everything. Birds chirp! Who knew?
Pardon?! Lol!
Great video...especially the history of Tony and Wyatt and Jerry. Thanks!!!
These lessons are in a great format. So much info
Just found your channel. You're stuff is awesome, hope your channel continues to grow. You deserve it man!
Brilliant, subscribed on the spot
Thanks for this, love your videos :)
Nice history lesson 👍👍
Biggest. Baddest. Billygoat in the Barnyard... Haaaaaa
That's gold Marcel
Nice video brother. Great job.
I’ve been living with right ear hearing loss due to German Measles as a child. I’ve been told to get a hearing aid, but I’ve resisted. My resistance comes in handy when my wife complains about something.
My loss is both ears since birth. Good news about hearing aids, they ain't perfect. You can always play dumb, just ask my girlfriend!

How can this video have only 506 likes?!
They don’t call it the legendary Rounder 0044 album for nothing. And speaking of legendary, it’s crazy to me that you don’t have 10X the subscribers you have.
How crazy though?! Like on a relative scale of 1-10? Asking for a friend of a friend. Just kidding. Nobody cares. Lol
@@dionst.michael1482 crazy enough such that his sub count actually more than 10X’d. So, I guess not that crazy at all.
See ya in another 4 years. Cheers.
Hey Marcel, could you do a lesson on the Stanley brothers version of Mountain Dew?
I’m 28 and love bluegrass!
No you don’t
Is there a tab or lesson on “Makers Mark”? A nice mellow paced tune by Tony Rice on his Mar West Album?
Could you please do home from the Forrest kick from manzanita album
Your wish is my command: th-cam.com/video/TKf5R9qFTPQ/w-d-xo.html
commenting for the algorithm but i'm also getting into bluegrass and this shit rules.
Does anybody know what kind of capo he is using
I know im late buddy but tony usually plays elliot capos and marcel uses the elderly instruments ultimate capo
Hilarious!! Love your videos man. 🤘🤘
Was this recorded in Bb for vocals?

according to the old video of tony playing a break, his fingering position are much different than this.
In the video I referenced sometimes he doesn't play what's on the record at all! I just used the performance video to check which fingers he uses to approach that one funky floating section which he does play like the record in that video.
Hopefully any other finger choices I changed (read: not notes but fingerings!) are inconsequential!
