Expert Mandolin Player Chris Thile Demonstrates Mandolin Shredding

Most people gravitate towards the guitar or piano when they want to learn how to play an instrument. But I’m glad Chris Thile chose the mandolin. He’s incredible. The Grammy award-winning musician is probably the best mandolin player currently alive. In this video, he masterfully shreds Johann Sebastian Bach‘s Sonata No. 1 in G Minor with his eyes closed. When you search “Mandolin Shredding” on the Internet, this video should be the only result.
