Chris Thile "Heart in a Cage"

[emptybluespace]

it sounds like a sad song to be played in tom and jerry

[bigsquaw]

Well Jameson's does him right. He is incredible!!!!!!!!

[sleepyhouse3]

Chris puts on a great show, and this a great cover from him, as well as the Punch Brothers. The beginning where he stops and waves his finger like "I'll give you a reason to cheer," is funny, and represents how funny either entity is on stage. They all have great chacter and skill and whit. And a great leader.

[drenchd]

cool but nothing can compare to the strokes.

[jmosley49]

@drenchd disagree...this is much more unique.. musically its better. and hes a better singer with a much more unique voice

[brentos78]

[runyabo]

Brilliant...builds slowly, must be great for a good room of listeners...one of the emerging

class of mandolin players who are world-level talent.

[fishgutdumper]

emerged and is one of the best in the world

[6vicious6]

His strumming is just so awesome. I mean during the solo.....damn I need to go practice

[jufjansties]

Honestly, a guy has to be good if he sparks this much controversy simply because he moves differently when performing.

[wes0507]

U guys r funny! I've followed Thile since b 4 he won at winfield. He has always had a hell of a presence! If a man spends his Whole life on the ground, how duz he criticize flyin'? If u dont know, Exercise your rite to remain silent, please?

[JonnyLenin]

I do not know him. Just saw this video ...

he's jenious!!!

LOVE it.

he's the fucking jimi hendrix.

[skippyrandom]

people, please stop arguing. no sane musician would want us doing this.

[ChiCkenproductions1]

i saw him.

and he drunk moonshine!

haha,

he's NOT drunk.

he's just like that.

anyway, don't judge him by drinking somehting, judge him by his music.

he's one of the freakin best there is on the mandolin.

so go get a life and stop hating.

[sagesky12]

All who criticize Chris Thile are absolutely insane. He is undeniably amazing. I love watching him live and yes he does always play this way:)

[roamforever]

chris thile is not sick nasty! and why does it matter whether or not he's drunk? he's still a beast at mandolin. and beautiful.

[TMCProductions]

He's not drunk. He always plays like that.

[qbertplaya]

Actually, he was drinking Jameson's by the glassful as it was a sponsored event.

[TMCProductions]

It takes more than glassfuls to get Chris Thile drunk.

And, regardless, he always plays like that.

[Godwillcome]

Seconded. He just moves that way. I know a lot of musicians who play that way. For some people it's hard to stand still.

[gwoman23]

Lol

[ortinco]

@TMCProductions hes always drunk

[shorty3788]

anyone else think that he's clearly intoxicated in this video? and still sick nasty all around.

[infx5]

even if he was drunk. still better than any of us could dream of playing it.

[infx5]

anybody have any idea of what chords are used?

please?

[Minilamppost]

Em, C and G

[DarknessHowls]

^^^

Why I want to get a mandolin.

[sarahxboxbeara]

Why I got a mandolin!

[gwoman23]

Haha me, too!

[MichaelGunnMusic]

Wish I could begin to even play any stringed instrument.

[elamo10]

You can man. Just don't play guitar, believe me. There's a world filled with too many of them. here's my idea of how it works. Guitar is sexy. Learn to play it, and believe me, you will find a lady. It's like the meat head of instruments. Some of them are really smart, but that's only a few. Mandolin, on the other hand, is how you make sweet sweet love to the world.

[Protagomuffin]

Well said, sir. I am a guitarist, although I agree with the general perception of it that you explained. But man, just chillin with some mates after a few drinks playing guitar and singing along, it rocks =)

[Kdragon32]

@DarknessHowls Chris Thile really is the reason I have a mandolin.

[jonfmccord]

@Kdragon32 Same here. He's brilliant live. Always.

[mystery715]

good job!!!!!!!!!!

[googoogachoo16]

[kaciwall]

Me too! I'm trying to get tabs but all I can find is strokes tabs.
