Hey Michael!
This video is a bit outside the box for your typical reaction videos, but I think I speak for all heads when I say we'd love to see your take on this work. Bill Orcutt is a legendary avant-garde/experimental guitarist and this Tiny Desk Concert has quickly become iconic. Orcutt and this crew of ace players (Wendy Eisenberg, Ava Mendoza and Shane Parish) kill this session and I'd love to see you break it down in your inimitable way. I think you'd love the whole thing but start at 4:15 and check out this zoned out drone-y slice of experimental guitar bliss. And yes, those guitars all only have four strings.

Mateus just seems to get exponentially better all the time and has such a strong voice on the instrument; as recognisable as anyone. So fast and fluid, but melodic too.
Just came across this today (5/18/23) and was completely caught off guard by Keith's playing. I figured John would be the highlight here. How wrong I was.
Ok, so looks like this song has been requested 8 times - and so deserving! But I don't think any version can touch the recent show in Florida where DEREK TRUCKS was a guest! Nels + Derek - easily a top live solo for me played by two of the greatest living guitarists.
How does one improvise over a legendary song at such a level at only 17?!?!
