Years ago, I was privileged to meet Ricky Skaggs quite unexpectedly. I told him how much I admired him as a person and a musician. I mentioned that I also liked to pick a little country guitar. Ricky told me, Son, don't quit your day job! I'll never forget it! Thanks, Ricky for the sage advice and for quite literally saving country music from the dustbin of history. Oh, yeah.... LR Baggs makes the best dog-gone acoustic amplification systems on the planet, IMO.
God Bless you, Brother..I love that you are open about your faith in the Lord. Id love to play with you someday...for sure when we are gathered around His throne..Much love
This man is literally the greatest guitar player I've ever seen. He is the first player to ever blow my mind with his technical ability, my mother knows that I'm interested in guitars and showed me him on CZcams. From that day forward the debate is over when the conversation come up who is the best guitar player. I haven't come across any other player who is even close to Skaggs with the exception of Chet Atkins.
i like that Ricky played some jerry reed... Its been a desire of mine to be able to play some of the guitar lead from Hwy 40 blues, but its so far out of my league... Glad i found your channel :)
It seems that Ricky doesn't play guitar often enough....I love to hear him on mandolin and fiddle....but it's such a treat to hear him on guitar too. ……..I love TRADITIONAL music and Ricky a great gatekeeper.
That's quite a compliment coming from a master like yourself, because Adam, you are one of the finest pickers to ever pluck a string ! You are definitely on the top of my A list, and have been for a long time.
Playing guitar is a gift you give to yourself, out of a love for music. Will the Baggs plug right in to an acoustic amp with a 1/4-inch jack, or does it need a preamp? Thanks, Ricky, you are one of the True Greats!
You can trust me too, this pickup is unique, i mean the other ones could raelly be swap out, because the lyric is a new standard, like when they invented the flat top guitars instead of archtops. It's a true microphone inside the guitar, and you have the closest sound to an external microphone you ever heard!
I play mandolin??...Please Ricky, you can play the guitar like the best of them....love how you're rockin the hair....you no longer look like a preacher to me!!...not to say that's bad but you know what I mean!!

Jesus is the only master , who do you idolize a man?
I’ve got no idea what an LR bags is, but if Ricky’s got one I need it!
Good guy.
Ricky is a National Treasure 🇺🇸
I like the beginning tune
Anyway I can learn that mr Skaggs ?
I’d love to see a tutorial from ya !
Grate!!!

You can plug it straight in, but I would recommend a preamp.
All time great sinģers
Yes sah!
Any way I could record at your studio? I have the songs, just need the studio
Is that a Collings D2H on the right Ricky?
Ricky is and has alwasys Ben the man.
Who has an idea what tuning ricky is using o that last little jig?
The Lord put Ricky here to play and sing......
What’s the first song Ricky is playing?
Very close to Tommy Emmanuel Maton 808 tone..Beauty
808 bicycle playing cards
so what is he plugged into on the floor?
he has definitely developed his God given talent to good purpose
What DI is he plugged into ?
The LYRIC link is broke
Nice promo
Ricky looks so like my neighbour. Kind of cute. 😁
Exactly what guitar is Ricky using here?? It sounds really beautifully...
It's a PRS Artist Package Angelus. He has some pretty sweet custom inlays on it, not the standard birds.
This video makes me want to swap out every pickup in every acoustic guitar I own. I trust Ricky Skaggs if he said its good, then I'll think its great.

Arnold Deal Yeah Rickys DA MAN'!. Love him & his band Kentucky Thunder.
Cam from Modern Family
who else caught that Lenny Breau riff he was playing there?
I wonder if Ricky can still do Country Boy or is that very hard at his age?
Oh, he can still tear it up, haha!
Yes he can.
I play mandolin??...Please Ricky, you can play the guitar like the best of them....love how you're rockin the hair....you no longer look like a preacher to me!!...not to say that's bad but you know what I mean!!
My
like ;-)
He looks like Cameron on Modern Family with long hair.
I love PRS electrics, but was not impressed with the Angelus. Was not expecting to see Ricky Skaggs playing one.
Maybe I should take another look.
Skaggs playing Merle Travis style using the Chicken Pickin' technique. I've tried. And I've tried.
Yea I like the opening tune, I wish he made a tutorial, I’d love to learn to play that
That’s my cousin
His talent and ability have nothing to do with some phantom he calls god. He got there in is own right. A great musician and songwriter.
so you know.....I'm a LIBERAL YANKEE, I MEAN A SOCIALIST, I love everyone lefty.....Man I dig Ricky Skaggs.
i came close. To being a famous musician. But i failed. My fault. And i live in horrible regret . Unfortunately. (true story)
No matter what happened, if you can still play and love it, that's all that matters. Success is measured in many ways. All the best
Thought I was looking at Barbara Bush for a minute...
lawd Ricky lose a few and get a hair cut.
and you're perfect?
Mark Stevens LOL almost
I thought it was the Quaker Oats dude.
