Did not expect such a philosophical deep dive. Chris is such an insightful fellow. Lovely interview, more like this please :D

Chris has a lot of musical wisdom. I loved listening to this interview!

I love Chris and could watch and listen to him for days.

Marcel and Chris are such gems

Fascinating interview ... loved the topic of ego, motivation, vulnerability, etc ... great stuff

Thank you for accepting my transcription request for Any Old Time. It’s a great break and a great transcription. I still can’t play it to speed, but am happy to see the video producing more content on the channel. Long live Transcription Tuesday for seeing how your guitar mind works!

I loved this interview. I appreciated Chris’s honesty and his willingness to be so open about things we all tend to stay quiet about. I studied with him for a week at SFSS and still treasure the experience. Well done you as well for setting this up!

Down to earth, insightful, intelligent and thoughful. Yep, the product of his environment Thanks for doing this Marcel !! It's Marcel's personality and skill that makes this a great session.

I remember the day Critter first appeared on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar magazine... I was in Pickers Supply in Fredericksburg, Virginia when his mom burst thru the door and asked if she could buy up all the issues of the magazine on the rack.

Loved the collaboration with John at The Acoustic Shoppe. Thank you

Great content as always!

Great show!😊

Critter is so humble that he doesn’t realize Thile and Lage want to play with him because he is on their level, just with a different skill set. A skill set that compliments them stunningly well.

Thanks again, what a great interview and insight. When Chris writes a book it is sure to be a goodin.

Thank you for this interview

Amazing interview!! Beautifully said Chris

second time I've heard the Joe Pass story. It should be required listening/reading for all aspiring musicians.

WOOOO!!!!!!

So it comes down to endless hours of playing to get good 👍🏻

Marcel, were you playing something in Bb? My buddy tunes down a half step, and capos 1 for G. That guitar next to you is capo 3. Chris was capo 2 before removing it. He is a very interesting interview, with his unique playing style. Wow, super insightful perspective on hubris.

Man, his dad was the best! I figured Chris was related, just an assumption, but I looked it up and yep...i just knew it. Musical genes in spades.

Fredericksburg, Virginia where Critter grew up had a lot of great musicians! He grew up with John Starling's son Jay, who is also a monster musician, and Keller Williams was also of that same James Madison High group... and Mary Lucey was another....

Yo Marcel you should submit something for Jared Dines shred collab 6 would be nice to get some bluegrass in there

My dogs favorite song is up on the divide. 😂 I saw Andy! Crack team!

What kind of martin does chris have there? Strings?

Anyone know what year that herringbone D28 is? It's not Uncle Johnny.

Did you get to do a sit down with Cody?
