I have no idea about any of the terminology but i love the guitar so here i am

“Sometimes I cry” while listening to Stapleton. Holy immense talent.

Anybody who loves Chris Stapleton is a friend of mine. He is such a deep, soulful guitar player.....🌟

It was simple in its complexity but so masterful in its intricacy. The bass player had his own runs and added his key moments when Chris gave him small spaces.

So insane how you can just hear that and play it

We all know that Chris is a vocal hero and a hell of a song writer but now, thanks to you, we also understand what a guitar champion he is. Generational talent for sure.

His bass player is JT Cure, been playing with Chris for a looong time

His voice is obvious, but really learning to appreciate how soulful his guitar work is. And yes great bass and drumming!

Deadly base backing Chris and that drummer -WOW! What a team ✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🦅💚🦅

That bass and drum kit is so damn tight. Really let’s him do his thing.

Chris is by far one of the best singers ive ever heard, especially live. Literally the voice of an angel lol, a big ass angel though

I do not play guitar or any instrument for that matter. But you are hands down my favorite reaction channel! Keep it up bro

This guy has helped me so much as a guitar player he helps you unlock things on your own and puts you on the path to figuring things out instead of just showing hey play this note for not he shows you what YOU CAN DO instead of what your supposed to do

Dude that guy is killing the bass man, no lie he is gluing this song together

If you like Chris Stapleton check out his former band, The Steeldrivers.

Now I know other people's excitement to certain songs you've covered. As soon as I saw the title, opened and liked immediately. This is my favorite performance of Chris that I've seen.

Chris's bass player is J.T. Cure . Great to hear awesome live music.

Loved watching you react to Chris in pretty much the same way as I do! He's amazing, gets so much emotion into a song and you can't help but feel it deeply. I've never felt as moved by music as I do with Chris's exceptional songs. Morgane (background singer & his wife) is spectacular too. What a team!

One of the most soulful voices I’ve ever heard! Good stuff Mike!

I love watching Chris Stapleton reaction videos and this is the first guitar listen. Absolutely awesome to watch people not just nerding out over the voice, but also getting excited about the instruments being played! Nice video

This is the first reaction video of yours I've seen. That was amazing. GREAT breakdown of a world class guitarist, and a band dripping in talent.

As usual! Mr Stapleton did NOT disappoint! His cover of Amanda is EPIC

The drummer and bassist are glued to chris playing. This is pure improv on the end.

He’s not the best guitar player ever,but it’s so well suited for what their sound is it’s genius.

He has an amazing talent and is an even amazinger person. I still can't make it through Fire Away without tears. Like you said, I noticed the drummer was looking right at him to take cues. They fall in behind the maestro.

This is one of the coolest reactions to Chris.....

I dont even play gutair and I still watched the whole thing lol 👍

Chris can sing. I live this guy songs.He got some soul in his voice.

Dude I’ve been hoping you would do this one forever! Killer stuff Michael

i love watching peoples faces when chris lets it rip!

Yes! Finally a Chris Stapleton vid 😀. One of the best modern country singers!!

This was phenomenal live in concert. It was great to see you Break it down too.

JT Cure is his bass player, they played together when Chris left Steeldrivers and was lead with The Jompson Brothers. He is one of his closest friends and you can feel the connection they have. Love your insights on music and life!

Well what can one say. That man is simply amazing. And his guitarr playing is Really tastefull. Like i allways have sad. Less is more!!!!

I've never played 🎸 but I make the same faces when I hear Chris play just about anything. Seen him play Red Rocks was the best time of my life!

Your reviews are awesome! Love your passion for music!

I like Chris Stapleton and I want to learn guitar...got one I haven't played yet so....liked, shared. subbed and ....DING!

I would love to see an interview of Chris by you discussing guitar on a deeper level than most interviews. I wish someone could make this happen.

your ear is absolutely insane man! what wonderful god given gift man! your videos are awesome

Great point about the bass behind the lead, absolutely

I would SO love to see Chris live.

Chris Stapleton is a genius.

Have you done a video for Chris Stapleton “Whiskey and You”? It is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard and would love to see you do a video for that. Thank you for what you do...you are amazing!!

Mike, I am SO GLAD you mentioned how good the jazzmaster sounds. I am a singer first, but the reason i bought my first electric guitar was based on his tone and sound off traveler. Its so killer.

Always loved the tone on this song.

My absolute favorite Chris live song.

Love Chris Stapleton - another Kentucky artist! On another note, I think it's about time for some Punch Brothers - Familiarity live!

...and you Mr. Michael are also SO AMAZINGLY TALENTED 😍

That guitar looks like a Jazzmaster. The extra controls for the "lead" channel, the unique trem, and the p90 looking pickups. I have one myself. Plugged into 2 brownface princetons, and a Vox of some kind (likely for the reverb, as his princetons don't have it). HELL of a tone he's getting here- I could listen to that all day!

Outstanding! Ive been waiting for this one🎸

Chris and his band at their best. Simple three piece set but the dynamics of the performance is second to none. They play with one heartbeat, everything playing off of Chris's voice. To look sweet.

thats one i have been waiting for a looong time! love it

Please do one of Chris’s older bands, The Jompson Brothers. Barely Alive.

So obvious this song is part of a set they all performed somewhere. I got a chance to see the intro to this. The way you're speaking about the band, he introduces his band members. He highlights every one of the musicians. If you get a chance check it out. It's just cool

This was a pleasure to watch, looking forward to watching more of your videos!!! Liked and subscribed!!! 🖤🎶🎵

MIchael, try thin superglue and tissue paper. CA glue was developed as a field dressing for the Vietnam War, and is safe to be applied to an open wound. You get some inside the cut, squeeze the sides together and put one ply of tissue paper over it. The tissue will soak up some glue and form a callous-hard covering which also holds the cut closed. I sliced into the end of my left forefinger with a razor saw, it was stopped by the bone, but I patched it up with CA glue and was fully healed 2 weeks later. The scar is better than an untreated wound, too. It looks like it was sutured.

Wow, watching this for the first time and hearing that you got those oysters from PEI when Chris Stapleton just played here, I love it! PEI is a gem come visit

I have been waiting for this one forever!

Glad you're doing this, been listening to this version for a couple years now and love it, he's not massively technical as a player but he just owns it. Sometimes that's all you need.

Hello from your neighbor in Maine! Here’s an early performance of Chris, his wife and his bassist, playing a stand up base, at the Grand Ole Opry. So good!

So good

Chris plays like no one I've heard. Many unexpected notes that are perfect. Maybe, Shelter or Sympathy for the Devil from the Stones catches the same vibe in rock. A lot more jazz inflections here though. Chris is THE music man today.

This song is about the vocals, the vocals, the vocals, and then the tone from that P90d Jaguar.

I wouldn’t call him a slasher on the guitar, but the sound is amazing as a unit! He sounds exactly the same live as on an album. True talent

Chris is a living Legend! Only 1 guitar lesson in his life. A true natural talent and no vocal lesson. A 1 in a million artist!

I’ve been waiting for this reaction for a while

No idea how to play any instrument, but loved this video. Made me want to buy and learn guitar.

great job! thank you for the help

Hi there this is the first video ive seen from your channel im not trying to learn guitar or anything but i love how informative you are and how you explain everything.

For those that say music these days isn't any good, they obviously haven't seen Chris. He would be elite in any era of music.

Hey Micheal, whats up? I have been playing guitar for 25+ years and I have to say that I love your channel. Even though I am not learning the guitar, I have found that its easy to become complacent or plateau in your learning. So the thing that I find great about your channel is that I am exposed to great new music that I might have never heard as well as older stuff that I might have forgotten about. The point is, that even though I have toured the country and played music most of my life, I have not peaked and I do not consider myself to be finished with my musical journey. I am glad to be traveling with you for now!!!! I feel we are kindred spirits. So if I'm a musical hitch-hiker, thanks for the lift!!!!

It's a Jazzmaster! The best guitar ever made. 🤠

Sick Video! Love the song, never heard this version.

One of the best live performances I have ever heard

I love this breakdown, particularly the part about the band complimenting Chris. I've seen him do a set basically just him and his guitar and usually w/ a great singer that's the best because the band distracts. I think that's why acoustic unplugged sets are really popular. However, the way Chris uses the band, etc. actually makes this version better IMO. It builds tension and takes you on a ride the singer songwriter performance, while still amazing, doesn't.

That was so cool how you paused the video and played the same sequence on your guitar!

JT Cure is a beast 💪

Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers are two at the top of their game. Worked their balls off and you know must've put up with serious lows. Not that many many others don't, or don't deserve this or that but Chris and Tyler are locked in their own ways and style, learned from staying at at they're beyond powerhouses. Chris has earned all those awards with his raw power. Tyler Childers will someday be in those shoes, let's just all hope the city folk aren't number from Stapletons domination when Tyler's reaching those heights

Thank you for highlighting the base playing in this song. The guitar and vocals are great but the bass is so cool in this song.

Does the guitar accompany that VOICE or does that voice accompany the guitar? What a rich performance. I love Chris Stapleton and I love your channel and vibe, Michael. New subscriber, so catching up is so much fun! Thank you for sharing your passion. It’s inspirational and some kind of wonderful. Carry on!!!

Getting to hear this live was crazy

You should do a reaction to The Steel Drivers (Chris Stapleton's old bluegrass band) "The Blue Side of the Mountain"

You should check out The Teskey Brothers if you haven't already - maybe either 'Hold Me - Live at the Forum' (great live performance) or 'I Get Up' 👌

Just found this channel. You are great and so very talented! You should be in Stapleton's band!

This song is one of the most powerful vocal performances ever.

Great job Man! I met your channel watching the reaction of the guy who played Van Halen. Greetings from Amargosa Brazil!

Ok sixth great video in a row. I’m gonna have to be a subscriber now.

He's incredibly talented to say the least. He's also an accomplished songwriter. There's a video from CMT Crossroads here on KZfaq featuring Keith Urban and John Mayer performing Keith's smash hit: "Sweet Thing" with a legendary guitar solo at the end by the two of them. You'd really enjoy it.

Watch these videos all the time. I have no idea what your talking about 90% of the time with the guitar jargon 😂. My wife bought me a guitar for Christmas two years ago. Had a couple lessons and didn’t grasp any of it. It’s been hanging on the wall ever since 😩. Keep grinding fella and thanks for the videos.

I absolutely LOVE your videos man and that you're always playing songs I thought went underappreciated. I think you'd love some of Zac Brown Band's like "All Alright". Keep up the hustle!

It’s funny’s, when you start noodling sometimes I swear Robert Cray just started jamming along! ;-)

Great stuff Mike, keep it up!

Please do the new release “Arkansas”. Great guitar work on this song

I would describe it as a conversation between the musicians.

Bass player so funky I can smell it through my damn phone!

I don't play the guitar, but I am so impressed with your ability. You may as well have been talking in gibberish when explaining the techniques, but you're amazing!!

Chris the goat

Good stuff Michael! I can't wait for the new album on 11/13!

I dont play. No idea what your talking about. But its amazing how it takes you almost 30 seconds to pic up the playing. Whether its music, art, construction, etc, I love to watch and listen to people that can see through fog and explain what and how its happening. Props!!

Mani wish I would have found you years ago when I was trying to teach myself the guitar. Stapleton is probably the best artist around this generation and I’m not a fan of country but damn the blues gets me every time
