Eric Gales & MonoNeon - Live at The Dunlop Booth (NAMM 2016)

[@DavidGossettMusic]

When an upside-down bass legend runs into an upside-down guitar legend and the time-space continuum nearly breaks under the weight of the musical moment that just happened.

[@coach.b]

I don't know how to describe west I just listened to but it's the best ever. I'd just watched MonoNeon with Marcus Miller and Wooten and the gods of YT sent me here 😮

[@chrismason5152]

As a left hand guitarist I can't tell you how many lefties do Albert king style Flipping a righty still strung right handed. Or either just play right handed. The pool Of True Lefties is def the path less taken

[@paulthomas8262]

Hendrix originally played upside down. Probably why he could play behind his back.

[@beaujaymes75]

And both are right handed🤣🤣😂😂

[@joaniepeters2565]

I absolutely love Eric gales!

[@brucestirling8215]

Just when you think we're all doomed, you hear this...

[@davidmatthews3131]

...and you know for sure.

[@santosmadrigal3702]

In my imagination , Bill Buford would be a great match . This trio would go beyond Supergroup .

[@user-gs7or4fi2n]

The whole planet is doomed and this changes none of that unfortunately. Great jam tho😂

[@LafemmebearMusic]

You gotta watch their knees!! Their separate perception of rhythms they choose to follow is so wild! Its like a link into their personal senses of rhythm and how they differ.

[@dontbelievethahype]

nice observation :)

[@EricLeCrennSanchez]

I think it might actually have to do with the instruments they’re playing. As a guitarist myself, and specifically a blues guitarist, I noticed I was following the rhythm like Eric Gales when I read your comment. I think it’s because as a guitarist you play more chords and individual licks, kind of riding on top of the music, crazy solos aside. But the bass line is more focused on eighteenth notes the whole time, being a jazz Jaco Pastorius riff and all. So mononeon has to keep the train going so to speak. It’s almost like he’s beating a drum with the bass line kind of. I don’t know, just a thought I had 🤷‍♂️

[@ItWentChunkaCHUNK]

@@EricLeCrennSanchez Eighteenth notes?

[@MarcosMonteiro79]

yes but also how they meet

[@AfkaSound]

Weird, was staring at there knees and saw this comment, so true, amazin

[@Phyoomz]

Holy fuck. I JUST realized they're BOTH playing right-handed guitars upside-down. wtf!!!

[@purvel]

Took me the whole jam to realize! It was that repeating thing that starts at 7:33, had to check how he was playing it because it was the first thing that looked "wrong" at first sight >_>

[@LiquidityThieves]

Eric gales is from a different planet!!!!!!!

[@FASTFASTmusic]

And They say music is dead. They just looking in the wrong place

So why are you typing?

[@RayfieldA]

It's Always So good to hear when professional musicians jam together unrehearsed!!

[@PatrickHaeslerMusic]

What a groovy new take on an absolutely classic funk standard. Love it to bits.

[@aaronpu6054]

Could you please tell me the name of the song?

[@PatrickHaeslerMusic]

@@aaronpu6054 this is The Chicken, written by Pee Wee Ellis, most famously performed by Jaco Pastorius

I can listen to it endlessly

[@longcastle4863]

These guys went to some alternate reality and played around there for awhile... And we got to listen

[@jarisdreaming5861]

omg, my new favorite bassist, mono neon is on fire! and they both play upside down and backwards... like me!

[@user-gs7or4fi2n]

Hats off bro,not the easiest way to learn I imagine 😂

[@peopleunite78]

Eric Gales is what's up !!!

[@TeariiDeflesselle]

This performance is top notch !!

[@traindawg21]

Dude I love watching Eric play.. So much character with that guy... Mono just sits back and sets the tempo... I love stuff like this here

[@UnequalTemperament]

Dude is doing a LOT more than sitting back and setting the tempo -- that said, I really liked their interplay here and, as busy as this was, they both still knew how to give each other space to stretch out. I enjoyed this immensely -- way more than I thought I would a NAMM video!

[@susiehenders]

This is stunningly beautiful 🤯🎸🎸🤯

[@sweetegg]

mono's musical awareness is a sight to behold. I've watched this countless times and notice something new everytime.

[@joaofpl]

This is just too good!

[@ryanl442]

been watching this on replay such a good session

[@jimhood1202]

Delay effects quickly sort out the good from the great. I love hearing a crazy riff five times but crap myself when I know that every mistake gets the five times treatment too. This here is beyond great. Thanks for posting.

[@carguy99]

MONO-ificent! Just outstanding! Love it....

[@aliuraydi8751]

are we playin guitars wrong way this whole time? is this the right way?

[@zeeeOgre]

I've asked myself as well! These guys are MONSTER players.

[@michaelmadcat]

Haha, I think you're right. Turns out I've had my geet upside down and backwards this whole time.

[@santosmadrigal3702]

That's how natural they are . Nobody can teach you how to do that upside down ... They are in their own lane .

[@2earache]

@aliuraydi8751………..nope! It’s the LEFT way!!!

As it has from the first time I'd met/seen you at the Fat Frog in B'town, you're the BEST next-gen Jimi Hendrix in this world today!!! And you aren't Jimi. To ME you've surpassed him and gone to your own level!!!! Got mad love toward you, brother!!!! Keep it going... keep pushing it forward!!!!
