A little inspiration for us all.

Absolutely sublime. I wonder how many tunes Thile has in his head. There must be an astounding library in there.

Thile is awesome. He's the guy who got this guitar player to pick up the mando in the first place. He's such a monster player... and has been since he was a small child. A true prodigy and the most amazing mandolinist I've ever seen. Just plays tour-de-force pieces so effortlessly. I grew-up (in the 80s) a disciple of Yngwie Malmsteen because I was drawn to his virtuosity on the instrument. That's what blew me away about Chris... he plays mando like that... without all of the over-the-top stuff. Of course... he's not a heavy metal rock star... so I don't think he could get away with the whole Yngwie schtick in the bluegrass/newgrass genre!
