But this bunch has become a huge exception amongst my general music tastes. Honestly cannot get enough of Nickel Creek. Serious talent.

Cool stuff! Love how the guitarists guitar is all beat up lookin'. Always a sign of a good guitar player. Which says a lot about how far I have go cuz all my guitars look pristine.

I got a question though. I notice the guitar guy is playing with a capo on the 3rd fret. Is that to match the natural tuning of the mandolin?

Just curious.

I know the other two instruments play mostly single strings so tuning is not an issue there.

give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

No idea mate. All I know is that it's a good combo the way they play it.

I have heard this style being termed "Newgrass" - Quite a few modern rock elements intertwined with the traditional Bluegrass instruments and style (I think. I am no expert on this stuff).

The last instrumental is the best, where they play some amazing scales between guitar and mandolin. Very cool stuff
