From First Chords to Grammy Awards: Punch Brothers' Chris "Critter" Eldridge

[@chrischarles1468]

Thanks for adding some bluegrass stuff Marty. Obviously Chris is super talented

[@joshnorko5586]

Great interview and sweet playing gentlemen. Thanks guys!

[@RodClark]

Critter is my absolute favorite guitarist. If you get a chance to see Mighty Poplar live, do it! Noam Pikelny is like the Yngwie of banjo

[@dead-river]

chris duo with bob miner is so good too.thanks marty

[@dontdoit6986]

What an insane style of guitar he plays. WOW. I need that in my life.

[@2010BHM]

Great interview, Marty. Critter fucking rules.

[@lisanagel9424]

I have listened to Bluegrass music for a long time, but it was interesting to learn how the different instruments play in a band.

RIP to Chris's father Ben Eldridge (08/15/1938-04/14/2024)

Loved the little bit of the eleventh reel at the end. One of my favorite songs

[@hilarywest2830]

Thanks, loved the discussion, the playing and appreciate the excellent camera work on the guitar hands.

Great interview and jam session with Chris. Loved it!!

Awesome video. I'm a huge Punch Brothers fan and this is the first time I've seen Critter interviewed one on one. He's such an incredible player, it was a real treat to get some insight into his approach. Now, I'm off to check out Mighty Poplar.

[@georgereynolds3977]

Wow just wow! That D28 sounds so sweet. And he sure makes it talk!!

[@lilycat1694]

Just wonderful. Thank you!

Chris Eldridge can alternate pick better than me being a father to my 4 children. If that doesn’t make sense, well it doesn’t…and either does Chris’ unreal alternate picking. It’s so good it doesn’t make sense. I LOVE the Punch Brothers and this is coming from a die hard progressive metal nut that plays 7 string guitars. Something so metal about The Punch Brothers.

Very cool video!!!! Im a martin acoustic guy

[@Mis-AdventureCH]

Critter! Fredericksburg boy! Both father and son!

[@some1369]

Hey Marty I need some advice and who better to come to. I’m kinda in a middle ground as I have the ambition to become a decent guitar player but I just don’t have the passion. I was kind of a rift play but I have learnt a few songs but anytime I want to learn a new one I get really stuck and stop playing I don’t know where I should go from now. I hope you can shed some wisdom on me.

Marty you still haven’t done part 2 of One 😢

[@alnt1922]

[@mathewhutchins2539]

[@snomiguel1308]

Can you do blew by nirvana

[@ceciljacobson2513]

Thank you marty. This one is cool. Love punch Brothers. Kinda sad how npr did Chris Thiele dirty with prairy home companion.. or after Chris got the host spot turned into American something. I likeed it when Garison Kieller still had it. But got cancle cultured out of it. But the guest music guests where always great. But, they killed it Using Covid lockdowns. I have gotten to go see Trampled by turtles. Looking for a chance I can afford to get to a punch Brothers show.

You can play all these songs, but can’t play ripped pants by SpongeBob. Embarrassing…
