Cover of Bush/Thile Brilliancy

[Jake Howard]

Thought I would share one I just got done recording. I did a transcription of Sam and Chris' version (which is floating around on the Cafe) and wanted to try and get a video of it. Thank goodness the mandolin stayed in tune long enough..



As always thanks for watching!

[Mark Seale]

Fantastic Jake! I think you may have transcribed the appropriate head bobs too...

[Dale Ludewig]

Excellent!

[Luna Pick]

Wow, that was great, nice playing, and amazing tone. Thanks for sharing.

I'll still work on this tune, advisedly. . .

Nice work! How long did it take you to work out the high part, and did you have to make a recording of the main part and play along with it (stopping as necessary) to work it out?

[Jake Howard]

I transcribed the high part a year ago and kind of learned it playing along with Sam Bush and Chris Thile. That was sort of what this arrangement was based off of for the most part. I made this video in hopes that it would force me to really nail the high part... The video took me maybe an hour or so to record and I probably had 4 solid hours of working it up. Hope that answers your question!

Fantastic, what mandolin are you playing?

[Jake Howard]

Fantastic, what mandolin are you playing?

I am playing my 2017 Nugget mandolin, been really loving it! Mike Kemnitzer builds some of my favorite mandolins (Joe Walsh’s A-style and one of Mike’s bench copy Loar comes to mind). One of the nicest people you’ll meet too.

It would be great if you could tag the transcription here in this post, so it would go along with your video....really great work, and playing....

Fantastic playing Jake, that’s a sweet version and beautifully performed! Bravo.

Great idea... something that should've happened from the start! Here is the link to the thread containing the transcriptions for both parts pf Brilliancy: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...nd-Chris-Thile

And thanks to everyone for the nice comments, I appreciate them.
