Never has anyone rocked this hard on acoustic guitars!
This is tight, but sounds wild and has a raw energy that I'm not sure I have ever seen delivered on acoustic before. (Making rock stank face as my head is bobbing to the beat.)
I'd say totally underrated musician but noticed this video now has 4M views.
Came across this song during my stay in Vermont at the Divided Sky Treatment Center.
probably my favorite song and live performance of all time. Please react to it, its my anthem!
Wheeler is certainly something. Don't play around kids. Time stamp 11:28
I Love that you found Elliot Smith. Elliot Smitt was hugely impactful in my life..... There are countless other artists that impact people every day that are not yet discovered by the people that need them ..
Passenger(Michael David Rosenberg) has been a big impact for me in the last few years... Easy to relate to his songs...
This past Saturday my band and I were part of a local rock/metal event called Carnival Of Chaos, hosted by the awesome folks at Chaos Guitars. And this particular band blew us away with their energy, talent, and musicianship! They are an up and coming band called Lady White Rat, and I highly recommend that you check them out! This is a video I took of them playing their song Rebirth. The video starts with an awesome jam with the bass and drums, while the guitarist swapped guitars and tuned, he then joins in for a hot minute before stopping and then going into their song. Also the drummer sings as well in this one. Just check it out! Thank you!
I know it isn't much of a guitar song but man I found this band a few days ago and they ROCK and I just wanted to see your react and also help get this out their more but this band is insanely good.
Canada's best doing what they do - Rest in Peace Gord Downie
Craziest 12 string action I've ever seen. Think you'll enjoy this one.
Love the channel man, thanks for all that you do.
I'm sure this has been submitted already but simply superb taste and feel here from MA. I'd love to see you disect
this!
I think Covered In Rain is hands down the coolest live performance I've ever seen Mayer do. The song isn't on an official studio album, so I don't think many folks know of it either. Super long vid, but the link takes you to the 1:15:02 timestamp where it starts.
It was tough to pick just one of his songs because 90% of them freaking rule, and many have much more interesting chords or picking patterns than this one. I picked this one because it is proof that simple chords and amazing lyrics go a long way, and this would be a great song to teach beginners.
Been a Los Lonely Boys fan for a long time and love this cover. Would love to see a react video for this.
Hey Mike,
I am wondering, if You could do a reaction/explanation, make a bigger picture lesson of whats going on musicaly-wise in this song. Its not a banger, its black metal, however beutifuly done. Aloooot of emphasis on the atmosphere. Lil' solo/melody, lots of tention/dissonant harmonies done in a tasteful manner.
Sorry for a NON LIVE performance request, but it touches a subject not about showmanship but composition, modes and probably a lot of music theory. Plus black metal isnt a popular genre, so not as much resources to find, especially with good sound quality.
Love Your work,

Look I know itโs not a live performance but this is epic and the world needs to know itโs not just Lorde making music from New Zealand.
Dallas with the new lineup for City and a Colour, these guys absolutely crush it. Dallas sounds phenomenal as always.
A soulful ballad that captures the essence of raw, heartfelt emotion through its simplicity. Thank you for your relentless inspiration to musicians all over the world. Greetings from Slovenia.
Hard to describe this guy! Same feeling of when hearing SRV for the first time.
Local musician. Loads of talent. You have to give this a listen. Would love to hear your reaction. Cover of Just The Two of Us. Bill Withers. Done by Jeff Eager.
This entire thing is mind-blowing. Julian plays with incredible freedom and you can see the entire band is loving every second of it, truly special stuff.
Hi Michael. You may remember me as the guy who requested Father John Misty. Unfortunately I input my name incorrectly, and so you got my name wrong. Not your fault lol. I was wondering why you kept saying it wrong, but i eventually saw that i just made a typo.
Anyways, I'm back with something completely different this time. Something I have absolutely no doubt will intrigue and excite you, but also possibly challenge you. There are a LOT of really cool things going on in this song, and after seeing your reaction to liquid tension, I am sure you will be blown away by these guys.
Between the Buried and Me has been a long standing favorite of mine in the prog world. Seen em plenty of times, and am always amazed at how precise they are considering how complex the music and composition is.
I hope you've had a wonderful deep dive into the world of Father John Misty, and I hope you enjoy these guys just as much. Happy hunting!

Gill's accompaniment is on-point, beautiful, reflective, and prepares your soul to be moved by Underwood's incredibly powerful performance. A must watch.
Haven't listened to LTE in so many years that I forgot how great they are. This performance is simply STELLAR! If you love Prog, you'll love LTE. So cool to see Tony sporting the Funk Fingers.
So yeah, it's Linkin Park, and they're back! Oh man...so many fond and emotional memories with this band... And the loss of Chester is still to this day a difficult thing to think about... But they have decided to continue on. And I am so glad and honestly happy that they came back, it feels good, like maybe things will be alright again, in a weird way if that makes sense.
Give this a listen. I was very skeptical, anxious and worried when I heard they found a new singer. I like to think of it as they aren't replacing Chester, but honoring him and the legacy of Linkin Park by doing this, and adding a new vocalist. While she had a few hiccups, she honestly seems like she will fit right in, and surprised and impressed me! Check it out, thank you!
