Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge - Whiskey Before Breakfast

[@jlange6171]

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

[@dasonmusic]

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.

[@carlmclaughlin6574]

If one is to the point of needing whiskey before breakfast. It can feel like lsd. A bad trip

[@brianj4090]

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

[@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!

[@vleesharp]

This was highly enjoyed! Thanks!

[@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

[@sternebringenflairlecker2687]

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

[@tsopuaifa]

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

[@sgbsammy]

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

[@NUJAKKCITIE]

the beginning sounds more like whiskey after breakfast 🤣

[@BBRNPTS]

absolutely stunning!

[@lagonandderelict]

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

[@iansnyder274]

Incredible playing and communicating between these two....

[@RandyHooHa]

Sensational, love these people!

[@poguie]

This is SO AWESOME!!!

[@pinsk94]

What interplay!!!! Amazing!!!

[@arthurl2045]

Amazing!

[@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.

[@tedtalour6414]

Masters of melody.

[@dennisrobinsongardner]

What a great blessing.

[@TheSpoonwood]

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

[@kylereilly3259]

Totally getting those vibes :D

[@joshuawiechers1726]

Wow! Mesmerizing!

[@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.

[@dasonmusic]

Hahhaha

[@russ_sibbison]

That's what the thoughts in your mind sound like before deciding on whiskey for breakfast

[@Lubo060662]

Bravo, virtuoso!

[@olgavoskoboinyk9506]

Dieser Dialog ist wunderbar!!! 🤠😳

[@vivekbodh2096]

amazing mind blown!👌

[@AlphaBravoCapital]

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

[@imaseeker100]

Masterful

[@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.

[@dasonmusic]

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

[@johnnyparker9928]

Some things are better left unmolested.

[@mito88]

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

[@carlmclaughlin6574]

Lage's into reminds me of "the dangerous kitchen" from frank zappa

[@JeffinBville]

Sweet.

[@jinukijinuki1827]

Wow I love the intro!

[@Jack458111]

Lage went full Derek bailey there at the beginning

[@dasonmusic]

Bringing out the Cecil Taylor within.

[@patrefkorwa9371]

Trolling starts @2:18 onwards 😂

[@MtnLiner]

Ritalin before breakfast.

[@UAL320]

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

[@cliberg]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@charliegarvin775]

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

[@sofie_lea]

😍

[@imaseeker100]

Like a GD space jam

[@nylonsteel]

Arnolds Schoebergs tea mixed with whiskey before breakfast

[@jonathanwinskie9788]

John Cage before breakfast 😂

[@utub333]

2:11

[@kewlec7855]

lol improv all the way

[@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.

[@collinfields9571]

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

[@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)

[@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.

[@chriswilliams5930]

simply stunning impro style! chris williams anne frank project soundcloud

[@tomokra]

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

[@michaelcrosby6955]

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

[@CraigAWhelanJr]

Holy shit....too grand.

[@OldGrowthRedwood]

Surprised at Lage, intro bizarre

[@jarrodcanada7322]

BooZegrass

[@Qman170]

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

[@martifingers]

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

[@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%

[@wolfgang4078]

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

[@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

[@alan4sure]

Molly Tuttle has much better version.

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@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?
