These guys are just frickin smartarse fun Michael. Everyone in the video is a band member. The african american guy in the boardroom scene is the bands manager. And, not sure about this part, but knowing them, the old guy replacements scene are their dads. Fun video.
Dawes is known for their amazing lyrics and this track from their latest album is definitely as good as any. Still, they have advanced their sound sonically and taken on influences from the Grateful Dead and SteelyDan. They are playing in space no one is covering these days and it just hits right. Super talented musicians and going to the next level with their live shows.
Check out these guys from the southeast. Really looking at his solo and slide work. the tone and uniqueness of the band keeps them atop of my list. ben mcleod on guitar, micheal parks on bass, robby staebler on drums, and alan cleave on keys (though not in this vid)
Hey!
Similar to Trey & Billy breakdown this is a good example of the band taking a backseat to the guest (Warren Haynes). Obviously, all super talented musicians and Warren's guitar tone and phrasing throughout the song is (for me) the quintessential example of how lead guitar / guitar solos can evoke an emotional outpouring for both the musician and listener. Take a look at the band just in absolute awe at points (7:15 for example).
Thanks!
Lindsey Buckingham live reworking of Big Love. He plays with such intensity that it sounds like two guitars. Great use of strong thumb picking technique to maintain the rhythm. Very underrated guitarist and fantastic arrangement for practicing fingerprinting.
