We are very lucky to live in the same timeline as this virtuoso Chris Farley. Really Post-modern he is

[Chris Daniels]

Henceforth I will use this video to prove once and for all that I'm a superior mandolinist in comparison to Thile. Any other recordings, live performances, or common sense intuitions that prove otherwise should be mocked and disregarded with extreme prejudice.

I cannot unhear that.

[Zach Wilson]

Lolololololol!!!!!!!!!!!

[pops1]

I thought I was the only one to use that tuning for mandolin. Now I have to learn a new tuning.

[Lane Pryce]

Some funny stuff! Lp

[ccravens]

Sounds like he copied some of my licks..

[David Lewis]

Brilliant. I can’t wait for mr Farley’s new album.

Thanks for posting. There’s one around somehere of new grass revival which is pretty funny too.

[Baron Collins-Hill]

Very well done!

I have a pretty healthy and ridiculous sense of humor, but I have to say I have not found these kinds of shred parody videos to be funny. Not even a smirk.

My brother, a guitar player, loves this stuff, and laughs himself into fits. I just don't get it.

[JFDilmando]

well..... not ashamed to say I laughed out loud.

[bobby bill]

I laughed out loud. But I'm ashamed.

[Mark Gunter]

They don't make me roll in the floor and howl, but I find them amusing. The first one I saw awhile back was the Tony Rice shred, and it really tickled me.

I had never heard of these shred videos. After I watched the Thile one and read some of the responses here, I decided to do an experiment. I played the video with my wife sitting next to me but not watching, just listening. As I suspected, she thought it sounded bad, but no worse than mandolin music sounds to her normally. The only thing that tipped her off to the video being a parody was the announcer saying 'Farley.' She knew that sounded wrong. She did not know the mandolin sounded wrong. Just knew his name is Thile.

[Br1ck]

Those are just too funny. The Tony Rice video was hysterical.

[Al Trujillo]

Farley has lost a lot of weight.

Farley has lost a lot of weight.

Being dead twenty years will do that to a body.
