Sturgill Simpsons npr concert is an acoustic masterpiece

I find it amazing how quick Michael can play everything

I love that SunKing performance. The faces Adam makes are wonderful. And sunking is in indy and awesome.

Well I'm a huge Sturgill fan so I'll keep it with him. I fell in love with his first couple albums and is some of the best country there is. And lo and behold he took a break from country, created his own damn genre in his latest album, and it's still f***** GOLD. I'd love to hear something from Sound & Fury. How about "The Best Clocknaker on Mars"?

Love how everyone is just picking and grinning on this video. So strong. Spread the feelz.

"Pick a lane", I love it! It reminds me of jazz rhythm players only using the top 3 notes of any chord. You got me, I just subscribed.

Thanks for pointing that out, about Adam Davis' guitar part in this song. Love these Outlaw country artists- Simpson Childers, Wall.

Love it! Glad to see somebody really break down the guitar work in a Sturgill song

Would love to see you break down “life of sin” the lead is nuts on that song 😂

That’s a great pic Michael thank you for your insight. I’ve always enjoyed the song and come back to it often. My favorite part of the lead guitar is his expression throughout the song. He’s having fun.

Wow! I've seen Sturgill briefly with John Prine. Today I heard Waylon Jennings voice when he sang Billy Joe Shaver! From watching Fil and now you too, I realize my 1973-6 guitar lessons taught me none of this, as I was hell bent on playing every string on every chord I could. I'll be 70 in Feb. but this learning thing has really got me going.

That was awesome, learned a lot. Love to see more Sturgill

nice, I came to your channel for Morning Dew, but this is another favorite of mine. One of the best opening lines of any song ever!

So glad you did a video on this performance. I LOVE all the chords and progressions the guitar player does. Like you said "Thats real shit!" haha glad I found this channel.

Mike, your level of expertise is so far beyond me …I’m left speechless …instant intimidation …with a feeling of, “what do I do next”. That being said, I love watching all your videos. You are spectacular, an inspiration, an instructor beyond the classroom. If I were to aspire to be as anyone…it would be you.!!!

You have a great ear and ability to breakdown music.

great breakdown on a song/band/artist I love, i look forward to you doing that second song on the video

I had the same reaction when I first heard the lyrics.... Sturgill kills it & Adan Davis shreds. Great break down & instructions

Sun King Brewery is in Downtown Indianapolis, and I wish they would have live music like this regularly!

Sturgills new album "The Ballad of Dood and Juanita" is amazing. Would love to see you react to the entire 28 minute album

You should check out Billy Strings.

You’re awesome with the explanations! Thanks!

Hey Michael, love these vids - your classic taste + broad ranging selections are right in my wheelhouse. I think you all would appreciate that one Marcus King Band number called Sorry ‘Bout Your Lover. (Great live version from Paste Studios, nyc). Keep em coming brother - and thanks!

Subbed up. The way you break down the "why" behind the licks making sense. Discussing the guitar parts and the importance of staying in the lane

I love these man, great concept: classic watch and learn with your commentary. Great job. Silver Sky sounding on point of course.

Great video! Great song! Love your analysis! Very helpful!

I wish you kept going! Killer work man, I learnt a lot!

Great videos. You can learn a song, and the principles for breaking down a song. Plus, a Sturgill fan! You got yourself a subscriber. Thanks!

Checkout “Sunday Valley” never go to town again. AMAZING guitar work. The dude is an animal.

Laughing all the way so far. What a neat song!

Do the rest of this live version please! Love his solo in that part lol 🤘

still need the second song of this video done! Please lol

been getting recommended your videos man, good stuff.

Thanks Michael for continuing to turn me on to new cool things I didn’t know about! For anyone wanting to dip their toe into this type of playing--if you play the major pentatonic with a few embellishments from the relative minor pentatonic-and most importantly- focus on the dominant 7-you can play convincingly enough to fake your way as a country player. Thats how I started but soon found myself going down the rabbit hole of kick ass country players like Brent Mason, Brad Paisley and Albert Lee (too name a few). As a Rock player (VH, Randy Rhoads, Paul Gilbert etc) I used to brush off country playing until I realized that it is just as unique and essential as jazz to any guitarist wanting to expand and explore new territory.

the best part about this guy adam, is that if you go on his insta as of today, his top 2 video's are of him playing some beautiful original solo modern-esque jazz guitar with big 5-6 note chords. great player with amazing versatility and the some of the most mature playing and taste !

I believe Adam is with Sturg's earlier band Sunday Valley, awesome musician's. 2 of my faves are Boogie Jesus & "Sometimes Whiskey", "Sometimes Wine"

Sun King brewery is in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I can't carry a tune or a stick of wood to the fireplace but I really enjoyed watching you have fun dissecting a great song from one of my favorite artists.

So glad to see this guy getting praise... Sturgill, yeah, he's incredible, but I mean Adam Davis! I didn't even know his name, but his playing was the first thing I noticed in this video. He's the sort of guitarist who's not playing anything too complicated, but the moment I hear it I think... man, I still have so much to learn.

I'd also love to see you do Sturgill Simpson Life Ain't Fair Live

You’re the only KZfaq channel I’ve ever wanted bell notifications turned on for

Bro... awesome stuff man I love how you broke that down.

Great tips for breaking down the chords! I’ve been looking how to make the chords sound more tasteful

That guitar is beautiful man. It looks very well taken care of.

Love to Adam Davis. Well deserved.

D’Angelo. Anything he’s done. All time favorite musician. Maybe the short clip he did for GQ.

This is so much my favorite new channel

Speaking of Sturgill...how bout’ a breakdown of Call to Arms live performance on SNL. Seemed obvious the band had something to prove and boy did they...

Love this way of playing. I really need to work on my hybrid picking. How about the Kentucky Lineman's version of Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line? Really interesting guitar parts especially the solo.

Dude!! Just discovered your channel. This is absolutely a good idea, reacting and breaking down the song at the same time. Keep this going!! If I can ask a favor: could you do Sturgill's performance of Life of Sin on David Letterman please?

I'd love to see you review Sometimes Wine. Sturgill really shows off on it. He never ceases to amaze me.

Eye opening. Thanks dude

Love the lyrics in this one

Kickass breakdown of a kickass tune! Checking out your courses now. Thx Brother

Angels by Willi Carlisle. He's mostly unknown, but this is a very deep, finger picking song that'll touch your heart.

Dude... that silver sky sounds and looks great! I own a PRS SE custom 24 Floyd Rose and I love it but I would love to be able to afford a silver sky one day! I am a red blooded American who has proudly worn that flag on my shoulder overseas and I wish I could get only American made guitars but they are so damn expensive but seeing you play that guitar makes me want one even more. Great video bro keep it up and keep killing it!

Just started watching your channel and your amazing! I love that your wanting feed back from your viewers. If you don't know who shakey graves is please look into him. I'd love to see you dissect "Roll The Bones" by Shakey Graves PLEASE!!!!!! He's sick and your sick. Shakey has such a different way of playing and it grabs you and sucks you in, and I feel like you would have a lot of fun with this one. Thank you love the channel and what your doing, keep up the good work much love

You called out the great little moves of the guitar in this song perfectly- and great to give him props. This live 2 song medley is a go to jam for me weekly.

One of my fav's - New subscriber

Next: Brent Cobb. Down in the Gully? Blackbird?

Subscribed, this was super informative. Keep it up 💪

I wanna see that “next video” with the volume swells and what not. The latter of that Sturgill video is the best.

It’s weird how I am familiar with nearly every video you do one of these for. This is all of the music I love. Are you an algorithm?

Came here from the Tyler vid, then the Colter vid. Also love me some Sturgill so here I am! I left a song suggestion link on the Tyler vid, I'll leave a (different) song here as well.

When this came up on my phone I was skeptical because I love that song and that performance but the video was educational 🤘

Enjoying the videos, brother. Just subscribed. Solid information. 🇺🇸🗽🦅🇺🇸

Would love to see you react to Mitch King "Coming Back"....great tune and he slays the acoustic towards the end!

Tyler and sturgill doing White House road. STURGIL is amazing in his guitar solo

Turtles All the Way Down. It's a real mood. Reminds me of the emotional reaction when I hear Gentle on my Mind/Glen Campbell ( aka Guitar Legend BTW)

just in case anybody is wondering Gastonia is a city in North Carolina in between Charlotte and Hickory

Love the video! Sun King is in Indianapolis.

Anyone notice that his intro lick would fit straight into the song too😂

Wish you would talk about a song called dust in a baggie

This is my favorite full band Sturgill performance of all so far. Adam Davis has been his best lead player yet. The Estonian dude is good too but just not the same. Davis really had the twang.

Hard Travellin’ Watchhouse. Amazing tele player.

Loving all of your videos! Try the solo from Sturgill - "Long White Line". Amazing guitar player in his group that harmonizes with himself, and it's just a damn well planned solo... you'll dig.

Late to the party on this song... thanks for breaking it down. Some new chops to add to my arsenal.

I don't know anything about guitars but this was still really cool to watch.

Soon as I have the money I am SOLD. You are awesome.... Thank you.

Jesse Stewart. IDK, maybe you introduced him to me. he's very raw, but emotional. I like 'cold beer' and I have the version with the wind blasts on my iPhone and when it's pumped in the car I know I'm loosing hearing.

Check out John Moreland's tiny desk concert with John Calvin Abney. First class playing and some of the best song writing going on right now.

good stuff, in the detail, subbed

Let’s see your take on Glenn Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind”, and particularly version he played on Craig Kilborne live. Most under-appreciated guitar virtuoso of the 20th century. And yes I know that’s a bold claim!

My Rockabilly band did many shows with Stu's previous band, Sunday Valley. ( We are a Kentucky band as well ). Its A MUST you check out Never go to town Again by Sunday Valley...Stu is a smoking guitarist and I honestly think this group was his very best

Not a guitar player by any means but love music and really enjoyed your breakdown. Would love for you to dissect what makes Willie so unique?

Just found you and great videos. New subscriber and would love to have you do Billy Strings-turmoil and tinfoil but seriously any live performance would be great

That bending during the solo reminded me immediately of Chattahoochee by Alan Jackson

Yea man this guy never got enough credit I was impressed.

Cool video. I'd like to see you go over his live version of "Sometimes Wine"

Cool breakdown of what the lead is doing. I wish you were around in my twenties, so I could actually learn how to play well. I guess its not too late to learn. Gotta add a guitar to my list of things to shop for, right after weed and pills, hah!

oh man you got a capt Jeff hat on! Run that Dog Son! He be catching lunkers in peoples faces! I love it

Adam Davis love!

Please follow up with "Some Days"...the second song at the sun king brewery right after "You can have the crown"

What really surprised me was Post Malone's cover of this song and I'm Gonna Miss Her by Brad Paisley. Played it with Dwight Yoakum's band. Beat part was he was having so much fun with it

Sun King Brewery is in Indianapolis 😉. Enjoy your videos!

You should do "While We Cry" by KWS. The best version is live at Summerfest i believe... So melodic and just freaking awesome.

Very cool!!

You seem very good and I will tell you this one thing the first song I ever learned Cold Cold ground by Tom waits

Check out Billy Strings and Marcus King doing Summertime, on a vintage martin and telecaster.

Oooo! Ooooo! Do Albert Lee playing Luxury Liner from the Emmylou album of the same name.
