What’s so crazy is that both of them are naturally right handed but both play left handed upside down. There’s nothing better than seeing two talented musicians come together
I'll never understand how these dudes play upside down so well. Especially on guitar with all the chord shapes. Mad skills

@Bread& Butter Bass strings on bottom actually aligns w/ the staff notation and our perception of going up the register and down. It's the normal way that's messed up where we go down to go up.
I'm sitting hear reading some of the responses about this clip, "too much delay", "he's overplaying", etc. Man, both of these guy's are playing their asses off. Dunlop is paying them to showcase their stuff and they are getting folks attention and making them sit up and take notice. Two excellent musicians sitting up having a musical conversation...Play on
I'll never understand why people try and shit on virtuoso musicians. Is it jealously? there's really only two people that watch these videos - guitar players listening, taking notes, looking for someone new or a new sound to help their own playing evolve - or haters saying that they prefer David Gilmour. I like both. Also, David Gilmour is playing at the top of his ability. If he could play faster he would, and then he would lose fans for "overplaying".
That’s because MonoNeon not only plays Bass, he plays piano, and played Bass in church and musically things can change at the drop of a hat and you have to listen and adjust. watch for subtle cues. He creates and writes compositions. I mean the music sheets, notes, breaks, repeats,rests, time signature, everything!! Besides, been playing since 4yrs old. His dad is a Bassist too. He learned listening to his dad , plus practicing playing from songs on records. Very talented young man.
th-cam.com/video/EePvNHwj6rA/w-d-xo.html. That’s a link to a video he posted almost 10 yrs ago he played piano on a song he composed as tribute to his Grandfather. It’s beautiful.
The thing that gets me the most is their ability to keep it tight, it's incredibly tight and considering all the fooling around they're doing, it's nothing less than a miracle that they're able to hold down the groove so well.
Hendrix would be beside himself to hear this jam. It went next level. The best jams may go astray at times and then reconnect in even better unexpected ways. Two guys going full on. The result is amazing
@@toadwerx6063 hah, as I had expected. your long words don't have any argument to the topic at all. Just you bragging about how cool you are. Again, you wrong. I'm right.
+Jonathan Barnes I was listening through my phone speakers but eventually plugged in my headphones and could hear him clearly. His sound is panned to the right too
I realize I'm 2 years late on watching the video, but this ain't right. These 2 just played something that set my soul on fire. Now I'm up downloading the video so I can rip the audio, lay it down as a track, and then play my drums to it. I'm supposed to be sleeping!!!
Of all the upcoming crazy good musicians MonoNeon I think is the most promising in my book. He can shred but he only does it if it makes sense. So many musicians just chop to chop but seeing him play like this is so incredible. He just holds it down and can go with you and take you farther wherever you go. Wonderful playing by him I'm truly blessed to be able to hear it
Mannn Just love seeing musicians vibing off of eachother like this. The butter bass playing takes the guitarist in all shimmering delights, just a happy place to bathe and swim anywhere, Mono's bass playing takes you places.
Two guitarist improvising simultaneously, this is beyond talent. Mono is truly underrated and though he is improvising he is so disciplined at allowing Mr. Gale to lead the way.
Eric Gales is one of the best guitarists on the face of the planet, period. He can just play exactly what he thinks with no hesitation, no getting lost. It's like his fingers are just spitting out brilliant music as fast as his brain can think it up. Not to mention how unique some of his chords and phrasing is, and Mono is equally as talented. These guys should play together more often.
I still come back to this after all these years because I love hearing how they just got together and jammed to this making it a really awesome musical treat. #Respect
oh my...this level of playing. just incredible. both playing upside-down & left. unbelievable, both are truly listening to each other.. the syncopation @6:34 @7:10
Yeee I was scrolling through the commments to check out if some fellow bassist heard jaco as well. Yet another perfect example of learning from our past. Mononeon could be Jacobs colorful quilted upside down modern twisted son. Poor some gale in there and you’ve arrived at your ultimate basstination
Two of best in the world.....real music, body and soul! Eric... So...underrated. Mono is just getting started. No body on the planet plays like either one. They had a true conversation.
He must have been Ambi-dextrous (strong in both Hands) cos if he'd been a total righty then he would have learned righthanded. I'm a lefty and tried to play righty but it was no good.
@@polarxta2833 Finally ordered my first one last week after so many years. Much like when i first started dj'ng (23 years ago) i gotta be bold enough to be horrible at something again.
You go to NAMM. You see these people jammin'. You see that there is a team of professionals filming the whole thing. You know that they will probably edit it with clear sound straight from their amps. You proceed to bust out YOUR FUCKING IPAD and film anyway.
I met eric when i was 13 years that man is bad ass .... In memphis tn sitting in hais house my brother friend played drums beside him lil hott.... Another bad ass.......
I gotta agree. Maybe because I'm listening in a phone without my earbuds...maybe the mix would be better had I worn earbuds. I wish I could hear the bass more. I'm a guitar player. Strike that! Takes is a guitar player! I am merely someone who plucks at at a guitar. As I was saying...I would like to be able to hear some of that badass upside down bass louder. Too bad it wasn't in a studio.
Lol ur dumb delay is used so much in a lot of genres cuz when used right it makes ur music sound that much better but can be used wrong. Although I don’t use delay on my electric drums even tho it does have it lol but I should mess around with it more I kinda forgot it does so thanks lol. I can use it for making a couple hip hop beats sticking pattens are my delay drums are way different tho
You need to hear James' Band play this tune. ....THEY made it what it was......they're version was the reason Jaco covered it andi it was Much funkier than Jaco's version. ....and Jaco is one Of my BIGGEST influences as a player. ..love the guy. ...flaws and all but the mistake that most make when they play this tune is they play it way too straight and way too fast.
That’s not a good thing. If everyone is playing that why would anyone still listen to it after 10000 times. Jazz is about fucking improvising and making new shit, not playing the same shit over and over and over and fucking over again. And i go to the comsrvatory of amsterdam where they play standards every day, but at least they adjust the songs and make own modern arrangements on it so it isn’t fucking boring. Sorry for the rant, just hate history repeating tooooo goddamn much. I’m all for learning from the old cats because it’s a really good way to learn though. Just do something different with it.

@Larry Swain Same dude. I am lefty and i play right handed bass and i'm cringing right now
@ great comment!
@larry swain also left handed and i realize I should have learnt upside down. Too late to correct now tho. 😭
Maybe they thought JH was the only one playing it right.

Both of these brothers playing better than anyone seen in recent years!!!! Great 👍🏾

Holy shit! Two genius musicians tearing it up. Intuitive improvisation at its finest.

insanely good . best strat player next to Jeff Beck now that Jimis gone
This MOnoNeon is one of the best bassits I ever heard!
problem is you can barely hear him
Its allright niga
+Jonathan Barnes I was listening through my phone speakers but eventually plugged in my headphones and could hear him clearly. His sound is panned to the right too
sam, dude what
Put some headphones on brother.
Mono Neon...WHEW! Instant fan right here, glad I tuned into this tonight.
Still amazes me, even after watching it so many times. Glad MN is currently touring with Eric right now.
These two are ridiculously fantastic
And both left handed!
Two gifted musicians

That's what I call FEELING the music...amazing
Thanks for the amazing sound quality!
This young man is my nephew and this has been going on in his life since he was 2 years old and I hope he will continue to do well.
it's your nephew now huh when he was two and bad was he still your nephew lol
Cap
I aways get back to the video, what a feeling, great improvising from both!
Both lefty, upside-down too! These are BAD MEN!!!
Stratoblogster it's cause there black and gotta be like jimi funny thing is he wouldn't did it if he didn't have too
Deborah Cain, you dumbfuck
your right I am he is a true guitar god know bullshit excuse me for my lack of knowledge on eric he is amazing musician
Damn
mono is right handed but plays upside down
Eric is just insanely good! Inspiring and scary at the same time!
either really high on drugs or a monster
If being on drugs would make you a monster, most posers cats would be total virtuosos......
Just sayin'
Drug kill virtuosos don't create em
This mononeon monster just like he is traveling through the universe with his fingers. Damn son.
Best comment!
Bruh for realllll
Insane skillage
just a quick note: both guys on the video are playing "upside down", how rare is that? lol Eric Gales never ceases to impressão me.
a. AÀ
I never noticed that before about Mono! I could listen to these guys lay it down, all day. Love Mono, with Ghost Note!
Iago B I am seeing him for the first time but I am impressão também. kkkkk
You let your Brazilian slip out there :)
Left Handed playing a right handed guitar flipped upside down.
this song is a loose interpretation of the Chicken. As a bassist myself, I praise this duet as masterfully done.
This guy is the Real deal. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Von Schmidemayer ur a bassist? Lol foh u guys are usless
I thought I knew this tune!
Jaco would be happy.
Thanks. Haha. I was trying to remember the name myself. Only reason I read the comments.

Not getting lost - the philosopher's stone of playing music. If you make the priority NOT GETTING LOST then there is no limit to the potential
Great conversation
They're lefthanded guitarists playing right handed guitars (upside down) ... This guitar orientation... Maximum Respect 🙌
And I think BOTH are actually right-handed in real life!
They are both Right handed.
I still come back to this after all these years because I love hearing how they just got together and jammed to this making it a really awesome musical treat.
#Respect
The people around me must think I'm watching the most putrid video on the internet based on my face
the stank face can't be controlled when the music is this funky
oh my...this level of playing. just incredible. both playing upside-down & left. unbelievable, both are truly listening to each other.. the syncopation @6:34 @7:10
Wow amazing! Eric Gales signed my strat pickguard a while back. Good guy and super talented!!
every time i come across this video, i am so amazed by the talent of these two musicians. this content inspires me so much.
mono's tone coming in hot with that aguilar
This piece was a fantastic experience at first with earphones! Godlike music!
Memphis! Mono is doing his thang!!
Carl Woodard 😂Eric too bruh they both from out here
This bring forth healing to the ear
Jesus...THAT TONE!!!
Love Eric Gales. The dude is out of this world. Love how I can turn the sound all the way down still see every note he plays in his expressions
As a musician myself, I’ve never seen anything like this somehow. Speechless.
This is the kind of epic music that comes out of Memphis. Epic.
Great version of The Chicken here !! :) Love it :)

I loved this. Still do today
Damn, Eric gales plays straight from the soul!
Eric is so original, he is not a copy of any player, he is an inexhaustible source of phrases, rhythms and melodies.
"Hey, Unstoppable Force. Let me introduce you to my friend, Immovable Object"
Yo this is the dopiest shed I've ever witnessed, live or recorded. Eric Gales and Mono Neon are real!!!
What am I doing listening I've got to practice.
Same thoughts. Lol
guilty too...
As a bass player myself. Listening is a part of practice.
this is practice for your soul
gotta give yourself some goals to asipre to
Two of best in the world.....real music, body and soul!
Eric... So...underrated. Mono is just getting started. No body on the planet plays like either one. They had a true conversation.
two of the baddest lefties in the game
Absolutely brilliant playing from both guys. Just incredible.
Upside down & backwards! Eric is really right handed but learned to play from his brothers who were left handed.
He must have been Ambi-dextrous (strong in both Hands) cos if he'd been a total righty then he would have learned righthanded. I'm a lefty and tried to play righty but it was no good.
I think you're right!
MonoNeon plays lefty righty also! check it- both are axe flippers
I'm left handed but play right handed. Works for me well.
Randy Samba Some lefties are successful at doing that but others, like me, aren't.
Eric Gales is an absolute Force of Nature... just saying. THANKS!! for sharing this one.
The upside down freaks of nature! Too good.
This must've been so fun for them to play together ❤️
Glorious!!!!!
I'm high on some kush and this was understood in all senses excellent!
That was absolutely incredible. 💯
Thirsty? Drink this- the perfect mix!
Two left handers sharing the musical space priceless.
These fellas r off the chain. The bass player is in the pocket most of the time. His figure bass notes are phat.
1 of the best sessions ever!!!🎼✊👏😎🗿
They both play their guitars upside-down..Super sick man 🎸..🙌🙏😎✊🗿
This video has convinced and inspired me to finally go ahead and learn how to play. I’m absolutely loving this.
So that was 6 years ago - how did you go with learning ?
@@polarxta2833 Finally ordered my first one last week after so many years. Much like when i first started dj'ng (23 years ago) i gotta be bold enough to be horrible at something again.
@6:30 was that Kingfish in the background listening🤷🏾♂️🧐
This is SO musical and funky!
I wish the bass was turned up a bit louder. This is very impressive still.
The bass is plenty loud bro, you can easily focus purely on the bass and not really even listen to the guitar. Are you listening on laptop speakers?
Just heard it from laptop speakers.
I still liked watching them.
These beasts are on another level.
Anyone notice Mr. Hendrix way in the back smiling?
oh yes.
Diiiiiiiiig brother that was out of sight
both are so incredible... shame you never hear about people like this...
You go to NAMM. You see these people jammin'. You see that there is a team of professionals filming the whole thing. You know that they will probably edit it with clear sound straight from their amps. You proceed to bust out YOUR FUCKING IPAD and film anyway.
RJ Koster i want to play like that
after 5 years i still come back here, seeing this as a 15 year old bassplayer was eye opening
Who still watching this in 2045? 🇧🇷
Watching from the future right now
Ay yam
My grandgrand sons
Is it already 2045?
I met eric when i was 13 years that man is bad ass .... In memphis tn sitting in hais house my brother friend played drums beside him lil hott.... Another bad ass.......
Part of me wishes Mr Gales would take the delay off at some point
He sounds incredible
Sleep how dare part of you?

kojam1 What do you expect if you're not using headphones????
If you are complaining a d not listening through headphones... you are failing at life.
Nice job by sir Gales really using the pedals in this medley, nice demo
First and only time I’ve seen Eric Gales say that don’t make no sense to a Bass player 🤣... Mono is on another level 😂😂😂😂 2:45 - 2:48
Is he playing unison there?
A lot of feelings out there. Love it.
2:43-2:46
Gives me life
Gatdammit! LOVE you guys absolutely nice hearing y'all stay busy on the damn strings!
GOOD TIMES!!
Oh look, music at NAMM!
Dude the groove on this is next level
Mono: Monster and still unknown...
Eric: Monster and still underrated...
Delay pedal: Annoying and overrated in this video...
LOoOooOL

The best artist. I will send you an applause. ___________ Korean artist David Kim (김다윗)
for those attributing The Chicken to Jaco (as awesome as he was) the tune was actually written by Pee Wee Ellis.
Timmie Raynor III yeah but jaco made it what it is
You need to hear James' Band play this tune. ....THEY made it what it was......they're version was the reason Jaco covered it andi it was Much funkier than Jaco's version. ....and Jaco is one Of my BIGGEST influences as a player. ..love the guy. ...flaws and all but the mistake that most make when they play this tune is they play it way too straight and way too fast.
Finally someone knows and mentioned the original... A lot of people don’t know that the James Brown (JB’s version), is the original...
I could probably watch this every 5 minutes. Oh wait, it's 8 minutes long. This is amazing
2:44 I’m obsessed with that lick 😖😖😖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
JadenBaker So awesome
Guy with the scarf in the back knows how to react to that lick
i had to turn my monitor upside down....this is amazing.
