I had a blast studying Tony Rice's playing and hopefully was able to share a small insight into what he does. I realized I didn't have a name for that series and I thought that should change for the next artists we cover.
So the series is now called In the Weeds. And if you clicked on this thread, you know Chris Thile is the next artist! This will be a challenging one in many ways, Chris has so many projects and so many great recordings that I'm sure I'll miss someone's favorite tune. But I thought a fun jumping off point would be his record Sleep With One Eye Open with Michael Daves.
Just like Tony's solos on Tony Rice Plays and Sings Bluegrass, I have transcribed all of Chris Thile's solos on this record and now in the process of figuring out how to share them. But for now I have tutorial videos of the solos from this record coming out that I will post in this thread. The first video is the solo "Loneliness and Desperation".
Please enjoy (and share your favorite Thile song while you're at it!)
