I’d love to get a breakdown of Dead & Company’s "Morning Dew" from 7/2/23. This was, absolutely mind blowing and there is so much to unpack in this performance! How the band slowly, carefully builds the tension to a peak, then frees it was pure magic from the delicate opening to powerful climax. (9:08)

If it gets chosen, I’d be stoked to see how some of the techniques and nuances in this particular version could be used when applied to our own playing. Thanks for considering it.

Rock on,

My latest favourite band, goes well while driving. They don't have a lot of video content to choose from. Try this one or any other you can find. Highway 9 or The Gears is pretty good.

This is a live performance of the song "I Lied To You" written by Raphael Saadiq and Lundwig Göransson and performed by Miles Caton, Göransson, and Jayme Lawson. It's so hard to believe that Miles Caton is only 20 years old and learned to play the guitar for this role with the way he performs. I love that you can feel the unabashed joy Caton and Göransson feel performing and Lawson and the audience feels listening and singing along.

My personal opinion is that while this live performance is amazing, this song must be experienced by watching the movie, preferably while it's still in theaters. The movie's visuals and context add so much to the performance and is truly the best way to experience the intended message. The scene in the movie where this song is perfomed legitimately brought me to tears, it was that moving.

Song title is "Can't Outrun the Blues." Great guitar performance for the Carter store.

Michael, I've never really enjoyed country. Then I found this song and Jackson Dean. I know that this song is not muscially complicated. That said, this chord progression (with a capo and without) is incredibly effective and used by songwriters all the time. Why is it so effective and so emotional? Also, this picking pattern - any chance you can help a brother out?

Hey Michael! Don't think I've ever seen these gents on your channel. This song just came up on my Tidal mix. I listened to these guys a ton when I was a teen. Great trio. I always loved his guitar work. Hope you enjoy it!

I wanted to share this song because it has a really unique vocal melody and great lyrics that I couldn't get out of my head. Stripped down it's a folk song, but add on a backup band with a pedal steel guitar and you have some great alt-country -- whatever that means. Incidentally, the drummer is Spencer Tweedy, son of alt-country legend Jeff Tweedy. (Sorry for the lame "alt-country classic" clickbait attempt, but I wanted to get this song stuck in your head like it was stuck in mind. )

Such a beautiful song full of tasteful and creative licks from David Rawlings. He seems to find those dissonant in-between notes at just the right moments. I really want to learn how to do that better and would love to see you break this one down. Appreciate all you do to help us on the path thanks!

Every now and then you find your new favorite band. Friend took me to a show last week and I can't stopped listening. Enjoy

I have watched your react videos for a couple of years now and just became a member of Guitargate. Watchhouse is one of my favorite bands, they have beautiful vocals, instrumentation, and the lyrics are the icing on the cake. This song is definitely one of my favorite songs of theirs. If you like this I would also recommend listening to their covers of Harvest Moon and Unknown Legend as well their song Waltz About Whiskey.

Beautiful acoustic live original song with soul and a great vocal. Then there is the story....emotional and heartfelt. I had never heard of Stephen Wilson Jr. before and now I want everyone to hear and appreciate him! Love it.

This band from Australia is amazing live. They mix reggae/Dub and rock. Especially love their dub breaks as you'll hear in the second half of this performance

Thrice is a Fantastic Band. They have one of the most diverse catalogs you could ask for , and its all amazing. Love to hear your take on their tone and songwriting. Thanks,
Jason
