That's exactly how my pa taught me WBB. Note for note.

[@dasonhandjr]

Died laughing. 😂😂😂

[@MtnLiner]

LSD before breakfast?

[@coolhandluke2310]

You nailed it.

[@fredlyr1]

Like at 4:00 am, between first and second sleep? we used to do that as kids. Now i'm old and severely brain damaged.

[@craig693]

This is nothing short of incredible. Well done, fellas. Fantastic song performed brilliantly.

[@mattworden123]

The way these guys know the neck of the guitar is astounding! Love it!

[@sternebringenflairlecker2687]

Two guitars, two players... grrreat music! Nice watching. Thank you for uploading

[@BBRNPTS]

absolutely stunning!

[@RandyHooHa]

Sensational, love these people!

[@dennisrobinsongardner]

What a great blessing.

[@joshuawiechers1726]

Wow! Mesmerizing!

[@iansnyder274]

Incredible playing and communicating between these two....

[@gadgetpdx]

2:45 Love what comes before but what a great performance after this mark.

[@JosephEaorle]

Thank you. I got tired of listening to scale practice

[@poguie]

This is SO AWESOME!!!

[@sgbsammy]

i saw them live..up close personal..fantastic

[@vleesharp]

This was highly enjoyed! Thanks!

[@pinsk94]

What interplay!!!! Amazing!!!

[@tsopuaifa]

That's is what it is all about. Having fun!

[@Lubo060662]

Bravo, virtuoso!

[@brianj4090]

Insane, clearly they’re both aliens. Julian’s mastery of the instrument is mind boggling and Cooter musicality is really top notch

[@vivekbodh2096]

amazing mind blown!👌

[@tedtalour6414]

Masters of melody.

[@arthurl2045]

Amazing!

[@megajames3000]

that dissonant intro by julian... jesus christ... that must've been some good whiskey

[@alan4sure]

Or really bad.....

[@russ_sibbison]

Yet Chris was able to jump in and join the cacophony - never get sick of watching these two play together.

[@dasonhandjr]

Hahhaha

[@TheSpoonwood]

Leo Brouwer esque ... dig it Coryell+Catherine Awesome

[@kylereilly3259]

Totally getting those vibes :D

[@NUJAKKCITIE]

the beginning sounds more like whiskey after breakfast 🤣

[@lagonandderelict]

Holy fu*k that was incredible!!!!!!!

[@imaseeker100]

Masterful

[@olgavoskoboinyk9506]

Dieser Dialog ist wunderbar!!! 🤠😳

[@JeffinBville]

Sweet.

[@ayushsachdeva3051]

I want someone to look at me the way lage looks at chris.

[@AbigailPoirier]

That's easy! Just learn how to play guitar like Chris, haha

[@nicolosmoffitt]

You should watch “someday my prince will come” with Martin Taylor.

[@dasonhandjr]

This is the third comment that I laughed out loud at.

[@isabelapeixoto6601]

Obrigada Dani Iunes por me indicar Julian Lage! Agora vejo a semelhança entre vocês, me dá dor ao pensar que vc não está mais aqui para crescer tanto quanto ele. Enfim, QUE HOMÃO DA PORRA.

[@carlomormorunni5690]

I don’t know what that means exactly, but I’m pretty sure I wholeheartedly agree with the ALLCAPS portion.

[@johnnyparker9928]

Some things are better left unmolested.

[@miles2928]

The song that I dream about playing is almost too simple for them...

[@jinukijinuki1827]

Wow I love the intro!

[@sofie_lea]

😍

[@mito88]

at the beginning chris is like wtf... :)

[@cliberg]

2:15 + ... "boys will be boys"... ;.-))

[@Jack458111]

Lage went full Derek bailey there at the beginning

[@dasonhandjr]

Bringing out the Cecil Taylor within.

[@UAL320]

2:15 How to make 2 awesome old Martins sound kids plastic ukuleles…

[@bk6312288]

Anyone have the tab for this? Critter? Jules?

[@milesdavidsmith]

lol

[@symphonyfarm2009]

best youtube comment ever!

[@nicoswarley]

Just learn whiskey before breakfast in any bluegrass book and you’ll be off to the races in no time.

[@MtnLiner]

Ritalin before breakfast.

[@utub333]

2:11

[@imaseeker100]

Like a GD space jam

[@patrefkorwa9371]

Trolling starts @2:18 onwards 😂

[@hectorjayala]

any idea which is the mic they are using?

[@tdlw]

I *think* I read somewhere that they use Chris' modified Neumann U87 - but I could be wrong (I'm probably right tho)

[@Pat-Healy]

Before the 2:45 mark it’s just two extremely advanced musicians trying to be dissonant on purpose. Sort of meant to sound so bad it’s good. 99% of people on this planet don’t understand it, I sure as hell don’t. First part is for the extreme music nerds (which they are) the second half after 2:45 is for the rest of us and holy shit was it one of the most beautiful acoustic performances I’ve ever seen

[@bobodeyuca]

Nah man, if you aren't into the atonal sound good for you, but don't trash it.

[@Pandolin11]

@@bobodeyuca This is just playing around in modes, not necessarily atonal. But yes, don't trash it. :)

[@bobodeyuca]

@@Pandolin11 true true it's not like a 12 tone row or anything you're right, honestly I don't really care about music school words and stuff hahaha but yeah sounds good to me

[@bobodeyuca]

@@Pandolin11 i kinda thought playing around in modes was like what atonal meant tbh

[@Pandolin11]

@@bobodeyuca Not necessarily. Atonality implies a lack of tonal center (a home base note, if you will). Throughout the intro they might shift tonal center, but there's always one present. Modes are manipulating the intervals (distance between notes) of a scale, and some can be alarmingly dissonant, but they're still based on a tonal center. I haven't analyzed the song, but I want to say the melody to Bone Collector uses a mode as well.

[@nylonsteel]

Arnolds Schoebergs tea mixed with whiskey before breakfast

[@kewlec7855]

lol improv all the way

[@charliegarvin775]

Have you ever watched twins together? They speak a language that only one another can speak. These fellows are twins from another when.

[@CraigAWhelanJr]

Holy shit....too grand.

[@jonathanwinskie9788]

John Cage before breakfast 😂

[@tomokra]

right around 2:29 ... that's just mean ...

[@chriswilliams5930]

simply stunning impro style! chris williams anne frank project soundcloud

[@slownoman]

Is there a tab for this? Not the lysergic one. I dare ya to cover this. Not the best of these two amazing players. Picasso throwing pasta at the wall.

[@michaelcrosby6955]

Damn it’s hard to play that badly. Tells you how good they are 😂

[@John-wr6yo]

Ah, melodic interpretation . Deviations from the true format of melody,but staying in the basic framework of it. Not for the purest, but purely entertaining.

[@OldGrowthRedwood]

Surprised at Lage, intro bizarre

[@Qman170]

I thought I was listening to Captain Beefheart for a minute.

[@collinfields9571]

2½ minutes of noise followed by a pretty great rendition of Whiskey Before Breakfast....

[@jarrodcanada7322]

BooZegrass

[@paulorton2608]

I'm just a bluegass picker. I recognize talent. They have go it. My ear still hurts however. Rather listen to tony rice billy strings, Forgive my ignorance.

[@alan4sure]

Agree 100%

[@theidlefactory2340]

More like LSD before breakfast

[@wolfgang4078]

oh man, so you can destroy a beauty melody....

[@frankdiscussion2069]

after one and a half minutes of someone hitting random notes on the guitar i change the channel

[@scottbookman]

you made your move to soon

[@clarknickerson7890]

Nothing random about it. 😊

[@martifingers]

Just proves Bluegrass is a primitive musical form incapable of any complexity or emotional expressivity...😉

[@alan4sure]

Molly Tuttle has much better version.

[@livingroompickersclub6358]

Horrible intro...I get the whole having fun artistic license thing but they made an otherwise pretty song abstract and ugly...Just my opinion

[@alan4sure]

Agree.

[@gabedenver8938]

bits of this really sound terrible. like im all for disonance here and there but some of this just sounds bad.

[@tonefilter9480]

You idiot

[@ngzcaz]

Excellent picking... however, not a good version to me. Perfect example of straying too far from home base and yes Virginia, you can have too many notes.. Sorry.. just my opinion..

[@Lea99Jones]

It's always easy to find a straight version of this tune. seems to me Tony Rice made a living off of straying from the melody.

[@ngzcaz]

@@Lea99Jones True... sometimes it works for me.. other times not so much..

[@MtnLiner]

Ok. Ok. Sorry in advance. Gay before breakfast. (I’m just kidding ) I’m mean, come on... that’s funny, right?
