    Chris Thile has gotta be one of the most talented and likeable people in modern music.
  • @wsmc14
    This man is one of the most talented musicians/composers of our lifetime. If history does not remember him as such then I will lose faith in humanity.
  • @powercatsp
    I would give anything to be able to "see" music the way musician's like Chris Thile do. Him nerding out give me music life goals!
  • @ponyphonic
    What an amazing musician. I love his enthusiasm, and I love that Radiohead was the first thing that came to his mind there.
  • @kittehnoir
    I like that he's a little kooky, there's a real spark to him and he looks so happy when playing
  • @StephenRahrig
    Every once in a while I get encouraged to pick up my mando and jump on youtube to learn a few licks. Inevitably a Thile video will come up at some point. I'll click to see what he's been up to, I punch myself in the face, put my mando back in the case, weep like a child, and go get some Taco Bell.
  • Its like he went in my head & pulled out all the words I've been thinking for so long....there is such a fine line between each genre of music; & confining yourself to just only certain types of music is crazy....I love this guy!
  • @Twykye
    I've seen so many people say they think he's talented but strange. So many of the world's amazingly talented people are "odd" and misunderstood. I think he's a genius in his music and a beautiful free spirit in life. The spark you see in him when he's talking about music is a joy to watch. I've been lucky enough to see him perform and I feel blessed to have been in the presence of such a person. He's fantastic.
  • @Tom-TomAlmighty
    He is truly gifted and genuinely see the connection and love for all genre . Just love what he embodies . Thank you for sharing your gift with us all .
  • @pickinstone
    Genre hopping, the end of genre. AMEN, BROTHER! There are two forms of music for all intents and purposes: Good Music done with care to and between musicians and the audience and Bad Music where the people playing music don't care about each other or the audience at all. There you have it folks. Welcome to the future. It is groooovy :)

    When Chris plays mandolin, not only does he feel every single note, he lives it. There is absolutely no beginning or end to his mandolin and his body. When he plays they are cojoined, they are as one, and then when he sings, oh my sweet bliss
  • @bottlebowling
    God, I love watching him play. He is, unabashedly playing the music, and not focusing on anything but that. he is one of the greatest musicians I've ever seen or met.
  • @jwstout007

  • @stevenpaitsel3214
    Im a New Fan of Chris Thile...But a very old fan of bluegrass... Chris Thile, talks about his passion for his music!... I enjoy that more artist's should tell us where the music comes from....
  • @lukesukes
    That is some beautiful tone coming out of a gorgeous old mandolin played beautifully. I'm reminded of some of Béla Fleck's classical excursions. This is just great stuff.

    This man is waiting for Mozart's next album
