“If you aren’t making mistakes you aren’t practicing “. -JW. If this is true I practice every time I play. Excellent interview.

What a great transition to get him talking about electric guitars. I think it's a mark of a well-rounded interview to not just talk about bluegrass centric topics but to explore a musicians full interests. It really makes for a complete interview and for a more complete profile of them Andy is a great interviewer to get that information. I found it to be fascinating

Jake puts the frosty in the snowman Praise God. He’s smoother than a mcsmoothie, puts the sweets in berries, and the G in the run. Word.

So many bits of wisdom in this interview! Jake is so humble. “If you’re not making mistakes when you’re practicing, you’re not practicing”

Dann Huff! Love his killer solo on "Place in This World"

That was cool. Loved how Salt Creek was interlaced in whe the topics changed. Is the full version of them pickin that anywhere?

Nice. Hes is an absolute monster Randy Savage picker. Thanks for the nugs. Great interview. What an awesome gentleman, and jedi guitar player.

What a treat guys, thank you.

Two incredible flatpickers! Very insightful interview. I’m constantly amazed at how Bill blurs the lines between major and minor

Jake is a beast. Thanks guys for doing this great work for the bluegrass cominity. Cheers from Brazil!!

Many thanks to the Lessons with Marcel team for this excellent interview. Jake made me think about my playing in a different, better, way. I don’t have to think of my sour notes as necessarily wrong but just need to bring them back out of the weeds and keep moving. Both Andy and Jake are masterful musicians. Thanks for the great content.

Jake is an excellent picker and teacher! Really enjoyed his teaching at Nashville Flatpick Camp in 2023! He has great insights and guidance. Now if I can only hold my pick correctly! ;-)

I’m sure glad Ricky Skaggs was looking for a

Same! I'm glad to see he's gone this far.

Seen him live twice with Kentucky thunder, my favorite guitar player

Great interview! Thank you Jake for doing us Utah pickers proud!

Great interview!! Jake is a great teacher. I took a Skype lesson with him a couple of years ago and he helped me out a TON.

Jake is a great musicIan, a great teacher, and a great guy. One of the best doing it today, and probably ever.

This is such a great interview-super insightful. I think this Jake guy knows what he's talking about!

Great interview Andy. Ain't this bluegrass community great? Jake is so inspiring. Fun listening to both of you!

Of course, Tony was a favorite. I play by ear, self taught. I listen to Jake and think about busting my guitar. He's such a great person and musician. Complimentary of many people. I'm not past learning, but the theory stuff is past me. Thanks for this wonderful interview with one of today's best guitarist.

Wonderful interview! Love the deeper dive into some of the mental aspects of the game

Great interview! I’m ready for part II. The only way it could’ve been better was for Jake to show some of his “stock” licks or the speed bursts ideas. Y’all sounded great playing together too.

Thanks Andy and Jake!

Both of you are terrific teachers (Nashville Flat Pick Camp). Great stuff. Great vid! Keep at it!

This interview is a treasure! Thank you

His no-wrong-notes philosophy reminds me of Victor Wooten & Jimi Hendrix, Victor Wooten's whole thing is "no note is wrong you just played it poorly", and Jimi's was "you're always a half-step away from the note you should've hit, which is easily solved with a string bend" either way you can't hit a wrong note of you adjust your thinking & approach.

What a great interview! Thanks for this

Great interview/ conversation between two of my favorite pickers

Thanks for posting this.

Yes! Jake is my favorite since i first caught that contest vid of him doing st. Annes reel . What a monster talent , technique, tone , creativity. Great to see him being noticed.

Same feelings here, Jake is next level.

Great interview, thanks!

Really enjoyed this, thank you. 🎸

Kentucky Thunder is without a doubt the most professional bluegrass band that I have ever heard...PERIOD!!

Brilliant interview, really enjoyed it. Now to put down the mando and get the guitar!

We'd like to know how his guitar is setup...string height... relief....etc...weird how he holds his pick hand and fingers

Thank you for sharing this 🙏🙏 Excellent 👍

He's unreal, and such a nice guy!

Andy and Jake together??? Is it my birthday?

Andy: "It's really hard for me to crosspick at a fast speed." Jake: "Me too." 😂😂😂

Wow so so useful!

Yeahyeahyeah

This is hilarious.

Talking about "plugging in", did Tony Rice ever plug in?

Took lessons with Jake for years, made me so much better. And just astonishing to see him rip off brilliant stuff off the top of his head at 150+ BPM.

I took a Skype lesson with him on right hand speed technique. It was at 10am. At one point he demonstrated some stuff and said "I haven't really warmed up today so it's going to be sloppy" and proceeded to burn some licks perfectly at what must have been 170 bpm and was just like "well, you get the idea".

nice. 21:19

Did you actually do this interview on lessons with Marcel? The granular scale master? 😂

Surely someone is going to transcribe Jake's "all twelve notes G lick?"
