Free Improvisation/Smoothie Song with Chris Thile

[@Bullroarer-oj3sp]

You know what blows me away? The way thile play these cascading notes like beautiful raindrops, he says so much, so quickly, and yet with a single note Edgar says just as much. Two ends of the sound spectrum. I love the magic of the mandolin, but each note of that bass goes deep as oceans.

[@hansstorsberg2022]

This really is just a whole different level

[@Kapiwolf123]

two complete masters on their instruments, doesnt get any better

[@mariaorth3945]

Edgar and Chris together are amazing. Can listen to them all day long ❤️

[@jviolin]

Amazing! Edgar Meyer is my favorite bassist and Chris Thile is my favorite mandolin player! Seeing them both is a dream! I wish you guys would play together more often! Such a great sound!! Mad respect for you guys!!

[@StevenSFermat]

*Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile!* Humbling!! I am in awe!

[@markfdesimone]

Fantastic to watch you two listening and reacting so swiftly and freely to each other.

[@badiolino]

that bow drop!!!!! 3:27

[@mrdrock]

Chris Thile plays mandolin like a man possessed... and it is amazing.

[@paulgerards6494]

Great you guys! Merry Christmas an a HEALTHY New Year!

[@JasonHackwith]

[@jackmalvern2394]

[@hanssvoboda]

Really great to hear to 'legitimate' musicians free improvising!

[@mulotwo]

Absolutly wonderful !

[@ireneruthfox]

When I grow up i want to be Edgar Meyer......Amazing. That Thile is pretty good too.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

F-ing Phenomenal.

[@craftycurate]

What a lukewarm audience in the face of such awesomeness!

[@rpguitar]

It seems a sacrilege to suggest that this mando sounds better than his Loar F-5, but... that's what I'm hearing!

[@lesjohns4359]

Wow!

[@drzirkle]

How does one get invited to those parties?

[@franklingamamusician4859]

Muito bom

[@rileysump3913]

now that is expressive mandolin playing. and how to slay what would otherwise be "bluegrassish" bass...

[@eliotoole]

Chris Lifegiver Thile....classic 😂😂😂

[@ryanf5503]

Absolutely stunning and inspiring. Is there any way I can buy just the DVD? I bought the CD a while ago unaware of a deluxe edition.

[@LukeDayInTheUK]

It's hard to watch coz I keep reaching for my mandolin and then being like "no! Keep watching" I have to start the video again and try to watch without being tempted to pause and jam.

[@Fishies125]

+Luke Day I know the feeling!

[@alasdairmacintyre9383]

Jon Russell mee too

[@launitakhan1213]

Sexiest bow drop evah!

[@hoosierbud]

ok, hum that melody.....a1, a2...

[@eliotoole]

Ok who are the 7 mouth breathers giving 👎

[@Username123-b5n]

Edgar is like "ok brother, lets get weird".

[@Username123-b5n]

ps: I dont think the audience realizes what had just happened

[@thecross-eyedpossumband1619]

I would give anything to play like Edgar, rather than a tone deaf child like I currently play

[@JordanRiehm]

What kind of pick is Chris using here?

[@CosmicHippopotamus]

+Jordan Riehm Chris uses Blue Chip, I don't know how exclusively or what thickness/cut.

[@MrMasterHat]

+Jacob G It's the Blue Chip CT 55, specially designed by Thile and used by Sierra Hull as well, I believe. It's quite popular, and very expensive - for a pick.

[@Mandoluke8]

+Jordan Riehm I believe this was before Chris was endorsed by Blue Chip. You can see at 1:27 he is most likely using a Wegen TR140. The pick he preferred before the CT55

[@JordanRiehm]

+luke karmann thanks Luke, I knew it wasn't a Blue Chip.

[@martinv.slawrence2714]

The pick of destiny

[@markblackstad8705]

"I'm not worthy"!! Neither are any of you.
