Michael, howdy from Nebraska. Been a supporter of yours for a little bit now, and I love your teaching style and appreciation of various genres. I don't think you've ever reacted to or mentioned this band. Insanely quirky and very melodic band. The guitarist, Nick Reinhart, is known for his creative use of numerous pedals. Anyway this band should be on your radar. They jump from melody to melody, and between time signatures in a schizophrenic manor so be warned. A very fun and structured song though, compared to some of their other songs.

Thank you. Re-posting a different version of the same song from earlier in the reacts requests. I have been obsessed with Chris Whitley's music now. His guitar work is mesmerizing and his songwriting is up there with the greats in my book from now on.

I guess the story on this performance is that the band was told they had a 5 minute set for this television show appearance. They chose to do a 7 minute song of theirs insanely fast to fit the allotted 5 minutes.

Don't know if you've listened to this already or not, but this is Tiger Merritt. Front man of an incredibly wacky, psychedelia-laced groovy bunch of melody makers called Morning Teleportation. From Bowling Green Kentucky. They only put out 2 albums in their short career, but both are fantastic works of art. I think other fans of WEEN would enjoy the first album if they haven't heard it already. Sadly, after the second album Tiger Merritt had passed away. I'm glad I had the chance to see them live a couple times and hang out with them. There isn't much good quality video of them playing live, but this solo performance showcases the talent of Merritt and his songwriting abilities.

Michael, first off thank you for your courses and videos. I have been getting re-inspired to finally pick my guitar back up to start making music again, and learn more about my instrument. Anyway here is a song off of Weens 12 Golden Country Greats, and a great example of the connection between band mates.
