Wayne is on the nicest guys I have EVER met! Very gentle and glad to answer silly questions. I am very fortunate to get to know Wayne and many other music and bluegrass folks in the mountains of VA and NC.
Had the pleasure of meeting Wayne and Jeff Little at an event a few weeks back, both are true gentlemen, and very down to earth. OH, and they can play!
He is a gentleman and a luthier's luthier. And man can he play!! Thanks for the video and the insight offered. Enjoyable. By the way the last tune was Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotton. Not Wheels.
I will play a Henderson one day. I will tell you guys what, Brian Galloup out of here in Michigan is a good given talent at making guitars as well. I consider myself blessed to have picked on a galloup
I guess all the guys about his age from the mountains play Freight Train (closing tune). I've heard my dad play that a thousand times... Wish I'd learnes to play it.
2:44 "I can play a little bit," there's no need to be quite so modest dude, I would get pelted with beer bottles and dead cats if I said I played guitar .. when I hear someone talk like that I like to recognize a kindred spirit. Then when he plays like you do I have to go back to feelin' like lonely loser again .. I go on pokin', plinketty plinkin' and proddin' away just the same but I will never be any good :) gruesome innit, cheers.
Amazing video. I loved it. How much would it cost to for a guitar like that one he was playing? The last guitar he played in the video. Where in VA is his shop located? Great video thanks for sharing.
JoshLovesIt it's a beautiful great sounding guitar. But no way I'd pay that. A Martin D-45 list for less than ten thousand dollars. They always go up in value.
+shecky308 I'm afraid you'd have to drive to his workshop or contact his daughter if you're interested in one of her guitars/ukes (he usually helps on them). Check my blog post.
+shecky308 I do, but I don't give it out. This is the only other way to contact her: theluthiersapprentice.blogspot.com/ But I wouldn't bother them unless it's about buying an instrument. They get a lot of people wanting to chat.
Hope you're joking. I also build guitars. And I can play smoke on the water (Beginners Song) and even live in Switzerland where the song was written..... And Wayne Henderson is like a God to me as Clapton to others... Cheers, Victor

One of a kind you won’t find another luthier like him he is who he is and I dig the hell out of that
Great guitars but what's even better is that this is the kind of person that I would like to be friends with. Great guy.
Amazing talent, both playing and building instruments, and so modest ,an all round nice guy, thank you , from Scotland, true country gentleman
A very humble man and great craftsman, and a fabulous picker, too

Truly legendary. And truly great sounding guitars.
Wayne is a Character but in all honesty a genuine nice man. A true craftsman and a good story teller.
I do wonder who gave this video a thumbs-down. A Techno freak?
Wayne is the BEST
👍 Right!!
That mandolin sounded beautiful
Magic.......what a beautiful instrument......thanks
Great - Wayne Henderson is an amazing man! I've been reading "Clapton's Guitar" fascinating book. Thanks for posting this.
Love to here u play ,sounds great.
Counting down the days until I get my Henderson D-28!! So soon.... it's only been about seven years......
All this, AND he's a REd Sox fan. It doesn't get much better in my eyes!
They are beautiful
great video and interview with a true master . . . . I'm hoping to get my L00 this Christmas
Do you play mandolin? Yeah.....I lay a little bit. Humility of the Masters
Oh! And this guy comes out with "make me a pallet" awesome!

Redd just turned me onto these...I need to get one!!!!
Wayne opened the video with a bit of Wheels on the guitar. Wow.
Bravo!

Pure genius.
Got to love a mandolin that is finger picked by a master.
Great video!
I would love to see a video on how she makes the pick guards. Has the lady ever made one?
Cool video and guitars!
superb
WOW! What a beautiful guitar at 9:24 Sounds nice too!! What I'd give to be able to play guitar

How do I go about getting one of these fine instruments?
OMG Wayne is a Master
Tune is "wheels"
Is someone covered in sawdust also a legend? Because I'm covered in it as I type!
hello from randolph guitar welch oklahoma
WOW !
I wish he made me a guitar
Mandolin with finger picks? How cool is that?
First time I ever saw someone finger pick a mandolin.
Amazing video. I loved it. How much would it cost to for a guitar like that one he was playing? The last guitar he played in the video. Where in VA is his shop located? Great video thanks for sharing.
I think $25,000+, but might be off by a lot now!
JoshLovesIt it's a beautiful great sounding guitar. But no way I'd pay that. A Martin D-45 list for less than ten thousand dollars. They always go up in value.
I think if you go to a shop they range from 3 to five grand. But if you go to a dealer that baught them off him. They are about $25,000.
Anyone know what tune that is that he's playing? It's great!
acefrehley19731973 ...........................WHEELS !

Epic

Wayne,contact info???¿
nice video..What would be the cost to build a mandolin, in ""ready to play condition like the one @300 minutes.mmmm
If ya gotta ask...in all seriousness
the waiting list is as long as I am tall
That's all cool... but can he play smoke on the water??!
George Eliopoulos B-)
Never Mind Says the guy with the stale ass meme for a profile photo.
Hope you're joking. I also build guitars. And I can play smoke on the water (Beginners Song) and even live in Switzerland where the song was written..... And Wayne Henderson is like a God to me as Clapton to others... Cheers, Victor

In English :) And best to just hope you can catch him in his shop.
whiskey before breakfast

haha - "yeah I can play a little bit". yup.
Cool vids channel
Love him----but the background talking! Aaaaaaaa!
argh
that looks like a boston red socks B on the side his hat, i can only assume he is of the true nation
I am absolutely torrified to build my own guitars. It would probably come out half baked Get it... tee hee.
Stick the mean youngin' in the closet. I can't compete with that in an interview!!!
He needs dust collection in his shop.
