tony lee [australia]

[hochbob]

By far the best cover of this classic I've ever heard!

[Budzpip]

I was checking out your guys's iTunes collection-but none of it compares to this. This is as good as it gets!

[luke200202]

irish? its not called potatoes before breakfast lol

[McPhersonBassMaster]

@luke200202

If Ireland was bigger and had more people they'd probably dry up the whiskey reserves everywhere in the world.

[Methos06wd]

The guitar lead at 2:18! Cool slides.

[JeredtheShy]

Mmmm, whiskey.

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

tasty

[rhopen]

@CharmedQuarkZ99 thanks for the share Richard, these folks are great. -Ron

[MrMichaelmusicman]

Fantastic arrangement!  Great Music!

[s4ur2fe0r]

great stuff guys, i like the arrangement!

[TheCoxmeister]

nice flat picking 

[TheCoxmeister]

nice sweep pickinig

[tre1120]

Any cds?

[zymelin21]

hi wademedic, watch and learn from orrin star. i learned fingerpicking too on the guitar and i am not a good flatpicker. pickcontrol can be learned by practice and starting slow. on the other hand I cannot use fingerpicks on a banjo, just the thumb-pick. forget clawhammer, like earl my fingers wont wiggle. enjoy the whole schmear

[fretboardmusic]

Try moving the pick with just your thumb and index finger only,without moving your hand or forearm.It's great practice even if you ultimately use some larger movement to play with.

[Wademedic63]

Can any guitar flatpickers out there give me some tips? I'm a banjo player, but also pick a little on the guitar. I have alot of trouble controlling my pick when I play... Hitting multiple strings at once, missing strings entirely, etc. I guess it's cause I used fingerpicks first and learned on them. Can anyone give me some pointers?

[MrBowsmith]

Absolute class, a great tune arranged and played so well. kinda Put me in mind of Nickel Creek.

[MrJrodarod]

STOMPIN! so clean, awesome

[pimpship]

i FUCKEN LOVED IT! Nice and even

[CountrynIrish]

Wonderful Playing ! Great Tune, thanks for sharing ! 5*****

[conmaesta]

Nice to be the bass player.......Sincerely.....

[conmaesta]

I want to know the chords that Brad Davis is playing and everything else he can teach me re mandolin........Come on man

[conmaesta]

Right now I'm learning mandolin....however Robert Bowling's guitar just begs me to pick up my flattop and play......Thing is I've played guit for 50 years and the mandolin is like childhood. Whatever these people are so talented. Love you band....

[PeluMaad]

@conmaesta ...you want to learn the bluegrass chop chord....

[sparkomatic]

@conmaesta I am in the EXACT SAME SPOT! Here I sit, mando on my shoulder. I came here looking to pick the mando, and was also tempted to grab my gitbox and cross pick me some drop D!

[Ullarobinlilly]

Oh we love it! Come to Germany!

[danielp31]

Seems to be a collings MF

[Molotovitaliano]

Poxa, são muito bons! Parabéns.

[juniorcasey]

You do know that this isn't an Irish song let alone an Irish classic don't you????

[fretboardmusic]

@juniorcasey

My bad!

It is generally attributed to mid-twentieth century Canadian fiddler Andy de Jarlis.

Thanks.

[freethoughtmusic]

@fretboardmusic It is interesting how many songs get mis-attributed. I research folklore as part of my day-job and it amazes me how many songs, old and new are mis-attributed, even in books published by good publishers. It seems if the song is good it is usually attributed to being Irish and if it sucks it must be of English origin hee hee ('m English, got a chip on my shoulder there). Cheers and thanks for posting this great rendition of WBB.

[Peggy91193]

@juniorcasey Oh! I didn't know that! I've always thought it was Irish, too. Thanks for the information!

[conmaesta]

Robert Bowling is amazing

[conmaesta]

People think that the Mandolin is a small instrument.......It is huge..........

[conmaesta]

It's pretty sad that you can't see these folks in concert somewhere.......Sad.........

[conmaesta]

What mandolin does Brad Davis play in this vid.......... Gibson??

[danielp31]

collings MF I think

[conmaesta]

Brad Davis's mandolin rhythm in this song is spotless. But everything in this song is spotless, just had to mention it.

[conmaesta]

That mandolin looks a lot easier to play than mine or is it the fangers lol........

[conmaesta]

Davis, Bowlin and Maring are fantastic.......Rehearsed or not the mandolin and guitar are right on. Brad Davis is a smart mandolinist as is Bowlin on guitar. Nice riffs, nice timing on the riffs etc. So much nuance. Maring has a nice simple bass run down, rich and deep.

[reso747]

wow Will ........... I didn't realize you play Bass.. great stuff.....good job gang...very impressive..great playing....

[FloydKingMusic]

In case no one answered: Wil on bass, Robert on guitar, so it must be Brad on mandolin.

[fretboardmusic]

For tab try strumhollow and click on free tab.

[fretboardmusic]

test

[claired4858]

is there anywhere i can get the tab for guitar?

[1coopjsn]

Excellent rendition! I have been practicing this tune for several weeks, and you three have it down. Well done! I love the guitar break at 3:00 on

[Tavernman06]

this is a great version of this tune!!!!

[fretboardmusic]

It's Robert Bowlin on guitar,although Brad Davis is a very accomplished guitarist as well.

[ezridgemu]

Trying to learn this tune on guitar for my fiddle playing friend...and I don't know if this guy is Robert or Brad (got a feeling the lady is Wil) on the guitar, but he's the guy I want to learn it from. Good stuff, Fret, and Thanks.

[theveldtunderground]

Great guitar work! I loved your fluidity

[LemmeLieHere]

I'll bet Wil is short for Wilhelmina or something.

Good job guys.

[Mjollnir50]

@LemmeLieHere ...nope, good guess but the story of Wil is far too rich to have such an easy explanation.

[asoberaddict]

Holy Moley! Dunno why it is named, "Whiskey Before Breakfast." A drink of whiskey could never be this smooth. Great stuff!

[stinkiet]

I love this verson. I listen to this song at least once a day,

again excellent .

[MrPsang]

Awesome family!

[yonderboogey]

what a amazing version! greta job guys. sounds perfect!

[plumriveropry]

I am completely changing the way I play this song.

[slickrick134]

great arrangement, great dynamic and intensity toward the end. good clean picking, and fresh, creative licks.

A+ work boys and girl.

[whisperably]

I've heard this tune win the flatpicking contest in Winfield, KS, and it's done, here, with so much more feeling, and it rings so much more true.

[korkybb]

Excellent Blew Me Away Love This Tune

[aliwhitwell]

Excellent and a great balance of the instruments. The bass brings it so much together. Thanks.

[gypsy8844]

[chunkybutt420]

Early one morning 'fore the sun could shine

I was walkin' down the street, feelin' high and fine

I ran into a smiling man He was drinking his whiskey from a coffee can

Singing "Lord preserve us, and protect us We been drinkin' whiskey 'fore breakfast"

[sharecroppermike]

[stinkiet]

Awesone, clean sound, do you have C.D's for sale, Love this version. P.S can you folks pick.

[crosstiesband]

Wow!  So clean!!!

[morroti]

Its sounds best with the mountain dulcimer

[BARBIE7791]

what makes a good musician is the relationship he or she has with the instrument that is played i like it when a song is played with different runs and technics and this song was mastered well

[hannahpeach1]

I love this...could listen to it alllll day.

have just bought my first guitar and am learning, i would love to be able to play this one day :)

[flatpicker1234]

@hannahpeach1 Lookup Orin Star. He gives a pretty good lesson that you can see what he is doing. I just learned it from him. Great tune.

[jimbascom]

Awesome! SO glad we got to hear you at Susan and Jamie's house in Saint Augustine!

[unclepatrick1]

I can smile again.  Thank you

[mark052092]

i love this so much

you are all so tight and clean

everything was perfect

5 stars

[stephentkay]

Simply Beautiful.

[jayfotyfive]

Yes, this arrangement gives enough licks to work on for weeks. Sooo smooth. Thanx for such a beautiful version.

[FlyingTiger64]

Excellent picking on this traditional fiddle tune. The only thing it lacks is a banjo. Some good melodic banjo picking would have really filled out the sound here.

[thumbpick1]

whauw. mr bowlin blew me away. and his pardners also. Thought only norman b could get that much out of the tune, but live and learn. and it looks so easy. Never heard of Robert Bowlin till yesterday, but he is truly a master of the instrument, and a heck of a fiddler to boot.

[oldtimey18]

a gem of a trio with excellent balance. Well done!

[vvvccc41]

Very nice -- applause all around.

Mr. Bowlin's playing is superb.

Vic

[kleiboff]

Excellent...Cant wait to get home and jam with you !

[sligolad2]

EXCELLENT ARRANGEMENT! I wouldn't change a thing! Good job!

[spitzmannd28]

OUI c'est top super!! vous devriez voir et entendre Lo Gondet, oui, j'ai la chance de joouer avec, si! Le guitariste possède la main droite de Mr Blake jeune et l'ensemble est irresistiblement professionnel..merci à, tous, P

[MGB1C]

I have played guitar and banjo for years. I have played this piece hundreds of times with fine musicians. You play it so well that after a year of resisting it, you made me create a log in just so I could tell you what you must hear all the time. I love how you perfectly accent each others solos, while not getting in the way. Your bass player is a treasure. I have found truly good bass players are harder to find than almost anything else. Thank you for posting.

[amyclea]

I have never seen or heard such a sweet arrangement and expertise. Congratulations!

[blueturtleman1]

Wow! Nice tone and arrangement. Sweet!

Through in "Fiddler's Dram" next round okay?

Very good job folks, I loved it.

[ovationpdh]

This is just wonderful!
