This is one of the most astonishing performances I have ever seen. One guitar, four hands... sure, it's an old Vaudeville trick, but have you ever seen it done with such virtuosity, humor & grace??

Back in the day, Roland, Clarence and Billy Ray (the Kentucky Colonels, along with Roger Bush)would do this with banjo, mandolin & guitar. I've also seen the Dillards and the original New Lost City Ramblers do this stunt. It IS impressive! |

YouTube had a Quebecois fiddler / piano combination playing a medley of fiddle tunes. |

I think the best part is how much fun they seem to be having with it. My hands get in their own way,I don't know how they accomplish that marvel. Unko Paul |

I saw three Scottish fiddle players I know doing this – the bow of one playing the strings of the other, all stood in a line. I thought it was amazing. Even their bows were going in parallel. Then my friend (who like me, played mandolin) said “I bet we could do that”. So we tried, and yes we could. Immediately, and without practising! You just have to know exactly the same version of the tune, note for note. Which is, I suppose, the hard part.
