Jake is one of the most talented and versatile guitarists on the planet. I’ve seen UM upwards of 65 times and I’m constantly amazed at what he pulls off each and every show. The other guitarist Brendan is no slouch himself.
This is another favorite, and an all-time live performance in the band’s history, Ocean Billy from Red Rocks 2012. the first 7:05 is composed, then it’s all improv/jamming until 15:16 when they go back into the composed ending. ua-cam.com/video/9B1vJpOn1so/v-deo.html
Pat Dwyer : agreed. I was at this show with my wife. Got to eat pizza backstage for a VIP experience. I think they played Boulder the next night. Jake always seems to shred but the last time I was able to see them was at Woodlands Festival and Bayliss was on fire!
Pat Dwyer Agreed. I saw a show where Cinninger was sick and couldn’t play. Baylis handled ALL the guitar parts. And they didn’t phone it in. Played everything. I was absolutely blown away.
This is the appropriate reaction when hearing Umphrey's for the first time. As a fellow music teacher, I was equally impressed when I heard them for the first time. They are now my favorite band.
I haven't seen an Umphreys show in about 15 years but _this_ video almost made me cry. I've forgotten how good they are and that's a shame because I'm from Chicago and they were a huge part of growing up for me.
As a guitar played who loves UM, I would love to see some more from you on them. Honestly they'll blow your mind. Even if you don't do a video on it, you HAVE to check out the hour long Ringo inprov from colorado. You talk about how in tune they are with eachother, that video is one of the best examples of it.
I love all the young fan comments. It's so cool to see my favorite band last over the last few decades. I remember seeing umphreys for free at a college bar about 15-20 years ago.
this is like the feeling of when you show your buddy Jake cinniger for the first time. Its nice when someone who knows what they're talking about can actually appreciate how good these guys are.
Love this. Check out Billy Strings --- metal background paving the way for the future of bluegrass. Billy Strings supported Umphrey's McGee in Asheville this weekend.
the best band on the mother fucking planet right here. I see them about 10 times a year. Pretty much all my time off and vacations revolve around seeing them. Huge community. Dudes are fucking legends.
I grew up watching this guy play in my town (South Bend, IN) . Before I was 21 we used to go see his other band (Ali Baba's Tahini) in a coffee shop and other random venues, it was mind blowing for me just starting out on guitar.
I laughed at the start of this. I thought....he will dig this one for sure. And at the end, i laughed my ass off, when you said, this dude is a great guitarist, you have only opened pandora box on this guy. I swear, he is just off the hook. GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE. Dude can play ANY style, he is an unbelievable chicken picker also. Follow up on this dude. TRUST ME
Umphreys is a GROUP of the worlds best touring musicians! They have been at this a long time! Jake Cinninger is by far their STUNT guitarist and Brendan Bayliss is a master riffer! I've been following them along time now and I'll constantly amazed at what they are pulling off live and mostly off the cuff! Talent and Knowledge at its absolute finest!!! Definitely follow up on this band, you won't regret it!
His Chicken Pickn video at NAMM will make you wanna play your guitar like you’ve never played before. Or just put your guitar down because where do you even begin? Lol
@@Dgendreauify You said it best. They are EACH virtuoso's in their own right. But man...fucking JAKE. He's as consummate master of his craft. No one else can fucking touch him.
You got a TON of new fans with that Dead video, myself included. You dont have to keep doing jam bands but I would not be opposed if you did! I LOVE seeing your face when you get into the groove.
Oh just wait. I’ve got a bunch of different stuff coming up, but I’m going to keep a steady jam band routine - especially dead - because there’s just such a strong want for it and I’ve never learned any of it before - and I’m hooked :)
@@Guitargate That Dew got me hooked. Love these so and I keep sharing with friends. My idea: Brandford & the Dead colab. Maybe bring in a horn player to talk about what Marsalis is doing with the boys.
He's had the Jerry appetizer he'll have his mind blown when he get's the entree like with JGB or Jerry & Merle. Garcialive Volume Six -4-5-73. 19 minute long version of My Funny Valentine✌🏼❤️
@@Guitargate I'm a fan of all music from Megadeth to the Dead to A$OP, but I pride myself on being open to all music and learning to play a bit of everything. Even if it's just sloppily jamming with some EDM. Had I had a guitar teacher like you 20 years ago when I was 13 I'd be a much more accomplished guitarist. In the mean time I'm more than thrilled to learn what I can from you and I love your open mindedness.
Glad to see more people having their minds melted by Umphreys. Saw them live for the first time 4 years ago and it set the gold standard for live shows for the rest of my life. So far the only band that I have seen life that can match their energy is... more Umphreys. Been to 8 shows now and I can honestly say these guys have their shit together.
I'm so glad you someone asked for Umphrey , i have seen them 3 times. They have 2 of the best guitars players there is. JAKE f'n is unbelievable. For real. Watch his video on here about his upbringing. This dude can KILL on the drums also. He said he is a better drummer than a guitarist. I have no idea how. Please see them live, you will leave dumbfounded. Ha
Your teaching style is like no other guitar instructor on UA-cam. Engaging, informative, humorous, colorful, etc. My new go to guitar channel. Keep the REACTS going. Love them! Thank you!
I saw and heard Umphreys live for the first time in 07. They played glory for the opening song, I was close to crying by the time it was over and I've been hooked ever since.
First of all I have fallen in love with your videos. It’s like you’ve found a list of my favorite bands and are just nailing the subject choices. Second, Jake Cinninger is an absolute beast. The man can play any style and locks in with the rhythm section for some of the most syncopated polyrhythmic playing I’ve ever heard in a band that improvises large chunks of their show. The hooks to umphreys songs are incredible. Please please do a video on their song Mantis. It is an epic ballad that highlights what is possible with a group of players that all have an insane sense of time.
I wake up everyday hoping for a new jamband video and I cant get enough!! You reinforce my love for jambands through your breakdowns of song I've listen to for years!!!
seeing these guys and Disco Biscuits in one solid 4+ hour chunk of uninterrupted music late night at Bonnaroo (seriously, they changed drum sets piece by piece except the kick while still playing) was among the best experiences of my life
Ive always known these guys were amazing, but you helped put it into words and from a musician's perspective! I really really hope you dive deeper into this rabbit hole of a band! Best rock shows on the planet
Awesome video! A point; This is a GREAT intro to Umphrey's as songwriters and musicians but there is so much more out there. I would reccommend "Bridgeless" for Proggy madness or even "Plunger" for a bit of everything that they do. They do these sets called "Jimmy Stewarts" where they "write" songs live via improv. Those can get really crazy as they can go literally anywhere. "Ringo" from their NYE show in Denver for 2019 is an example of a recent Jimmy Stewart and is worth checking out. It's an hour long but even 20 minutes in shows their wild, reggae, snappy side. The catalogue is vast and Phish-like in some sense but they are heavier. I have so much love for this band; if you get the chance to see them you will be hooked! Thanks so much for covering them. Love your work, style of video and humour!
3 minutes into this vid and I hit the subscribe button....so much appreciate how you approach\explain this song. Can't wait to start watching your other vids!
Your channel is introducing me to so much new stuff, thanks so much. Keep it up. Every thing your saying is way over my head but it's fun to try to follow.
Dude killer video, got my like and subscribe. This video was perfectly timed I traveled from Chicago to Tennessee to Umphreys McGee play at The Caver, underground this weekend.
I hope your channel continues to grow, love what you been covering. I'm trying to learn more theory and after watching a couple other channels, you make the mossense to me hah thank you
I’ve really become a fan of your channel lately. Excellent and informative breakdowns of some of my favorite bands. The internet needs genuine talent and people like you! By the way, space bar pauses and plays the video to make it easy for ya:) thank you!
Saw Umphrey's McGee the first time in Halloween 07 in Denver. Super fun time, great band! Glad you found them! We gonna see some Moe next? Just sayin'...
You're awesome, man. You breaking this stuff down as you listen is a game changer. I don't think I need to convince you to delve deeper into Umphrey's... Sounds like you gonna do that anyway. To maybe help with that, give 'Mantis' a listen. 'All In Time' is another classic. If you like the metal side of things, 'Wizard Burial Ground' will have your eye brows locked in a funky position for days afterwards. Brendan Bayliss (lead vocals in this vid) is a shred master in his own right, you don't see it so much in 'Puppet Strings' though. Every member of this band is top tier stuff. I digress... I gotta say that I've seen a bunch of your other vids too, and these things are really special. I'm not one to tell anybody what to do, but if I had a suggestion to make it's that you just keep on keeping on with these videos. Brilliant stuff brother!
Hey man, I'm yet another subscriber that found you after you started doing vids on dead, phish, umph, etc. So glad to see you get turned on to UM. My first experience with them was their show at the the inaugural Bonnaroo festival in '02. I went on the see them 40+ times, mostly from '03 to '08. And that guitarist.... I think you are gonna know his name is Jake Cinninger from now on lol.
Umph love they just did a two night run with billy strings on 2/14/20-2/15/20 check out the Friday show Billy comes up for two songs and it's on 🔥 Jake and Billy together it doesn't get any finer than that
We like all this jam stuff for its originality and inspired creativity. We see how talented you are, so we gotta ask, post/link up some of your original (or cover) performances! Do it, man! And, keep this up, too. It's beyond cool!
These videos just started showing up on my feed and I watched this one immediately after the John Butler "Ocean" breakdown. Not sure the goosebumps on my arms can handle much more.
I've seen umphreys a lot and they always blow my mind. Your reaction to this song is the same as mine. Whenever people are curious about them this is the song I share with them. They used to come to Baltimore every fall and Valentines day weekend. I haven't seen them in a few years so I'm not sure about the schedule now. I heard you say you live in Baltimore in another video. That's a great place for live music! I live not far away in Harpers Ferry.
Hey teach, just started your watching your channel when I saw your phish video the other day. Love seeing you get turned on to all these excellent jam bands. Phish, greatful dead, umphreys mcgee. Please please continue playing these jam bands. Twiddle, pigeons playing ping pong, and goose are a couple other incredible bands. If u choose to play one I could definitely recommend something good and even give you some background or what ever! Keep on jamming!
its funny cause im pretty sure there are even better versions of puppet string on youtube. love the video. glad youre an umphreys fan now. definitely hit the next show.
You just got a new subscriber! Umphrey's has been my favorite band for some time now. Thank you for taking the time to check them out and make this video!!! Also, zebra print guitar?! sick :)
MOOOORREEEE I need MOOORRREEE.....Umphs, Phish, Dead, Goose, Aqeuous, String Cheese, keep the Jam coming man I love this channel look forward everyday to see what your watching! don't stop
Thanks for breaking this one down. Appreciate it. \mm/

yup, been saying this forever, sincerely, a Moe.ron
Jake Cinninger is ridiculously precise, nobody plays like these guys. Very unusual and very under appreciated.
best rawk band ever \mm/
"this a real band right here" truer words never spoken, go see theme as soon as possible!!!
I love watching real, technically knowledgeable musicians get their first take of Umphyrey's. Parts of this movie gave me the goose bumps.
HOLY HELL MORE UMPHREYS PLEASE
wait til this guys sees what they can do with 9 more years of practice
Yeah I'd love to see him dissect 2x2 or All in time!
Or a Triple Wide or Nothing Too Fancy please!
Nothing too fancy would be really engaging musically
James W unreal show!!!! Happy birthday to Stasiks mom was epic. That whole night was one to remember. You snag a poster?
Just saw them In Ashville. My face is still growing back.
"That dude is a killer guitar player"...quote of the year.
This is the appropriate reaction when hearing Umphrey's for the first time. As a fellow music teacher, I was equally impressed when I heard them for the first time. They are now my favorite band.
If you are looking for probably the greatest umphs tune for guitar look up Glory it will probably make you cry

I second that here it is. ua-cam.com/video/BMFUR-aA2lE/v-deo.html
Jake Cinninger 🎸 tightest band ever. Saw them in a small venue in Richmond years ago. Thought I was in an auditorium. Such magnificence
Matt Patterson which venue was it? Were they at the Broadberry?
Yep, they come to the National every year
I can’t love this enough. SOLD SOLD SOLD. I can’t wait to hear about when he gets back from the show
Dude, you are killing it! Thanks for the great content!

Yeah but from back in ‘07 when they really jammed it.
Yep!

saw them live in Portland just pre pandemic...bounced all night long...so amazing live.
My favorite band!!!! Seen them like 80-90 times in the last decade. So glad to see you getting into them man, enjoy the journey!
just hit 75 at the caverns!
Samuel Vaughn nice bro! Congrats :)
I'm a small timer at around 20 but their late night Bonnaroo 06 set with Disco Biscuits was transcendent. Best 4+ hours of music i experienced live
Best guitarist reactions I've found. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to analyze what's going on.
Got a new Umphreys fan right here! Great job on recommending this!
Saw them about 15 or 16 years ago for the first time at Birmingham Southern College. Fantastic band. Huge fan ever since.
So happy you did Umph. One of my favorite bands. More jam bands please! String Cheese Incident. Lotus. Disco biscuits. The possibilities are endless.
Umphreys McGee is a very talented group and cover many genres with amazing time signatures. Even better live too

They used to come to Baltimore every fall and Valentines day weekend. I haven't seen them in a few years so I'm not sure about the schedule now. I heard you say you live in Baltimore in another video. That's a great place for live music! I live not far away in Harpers Ferry.
Umph love.
And you were close with that breakdown riff
Best live band in the country right now. Simply unreal how tight they are live. There light show is top notch as well.
Hey teach, just started your watching your channel when I saw your phish video the other day. Love seeing you get turned on to all these excellent jam bands. Phish, greatful dead, umphreys mcgee. Please please continue playing these jam bands. Twiddle, pigeons playing ping pong, and goose are a couple other incredible bands. If u choose to play one I could definitely recommend something good and even give you some background or what ever! Keep on jamming!
its funny cause im pretty sure there are even better versions of puppet string on youtube. love the video. glad youre an umphreys fan now. definitely hit the next show.
