As if the title alone shouldn't grab your interest. When it comes to Blues guitar, there's a reason why B.B.'s last name is KING because he is the KING of one note guitar crying blues, and then you throw John Mayer into the mix, and you know this is going to be great!!!!!!!! And GREAT it is INDEED!!!!!!!
For context...here is the original version of "Wake Me Up" by Elvis Costello with the Roots. The album version is just delicious. In fact the entire "Wise Up Ghost" is great...one of Costello's best albums.
This is Elvis Costello (w/Alan Toussaint) playing an altered version of his song "Wake Me Up." The original version is on Elvis' album "Wise Up Ghost" with the Roots. Love both versions.
Jim Croce at his best.
The White Stripes - Red Rain [Live From The Basement 2005]
Since we're on a VooDoo Child run.... Check out Zakk Wylde with the Les Paul Trio. It's Great because Nicki on bass, clearly cut some teeth on this. Lou on rhythm, the man of a hundred Chords ... as this goes on, HE'S getting exhausted! I grew up in the metal world and transitioned to blues/rock. Cool seeing a metal take on an amazingly influential song to a lot of people! (for real, watch Lou at the beginning, middle and end... he's like WTF IS HAPPENING HERE!) Not to mention Zakk is going this on an acoustic ... with a soundhole pick up ?!?!?!? WHAT?!??! Not sure how he eliminated all the resonance, but ... have a listen! Michael, if you choose to take the challenge, get some bandaids for your fingers, haha!

A song that I am currently learning and love so much. I want more people to not only see this work of art but maybe get inspired by it. It's giving me a new lens. ( update can you break down not just the music theory but maybe just help us understand how to reach this style of music)
Dear Michael,
While I would love for you to do a reaction video to this, I would also just be happy if you watched it because I think you would enjoy it so much!
Jimmy Barnes and Diesel (Mark Lizotte) are two Australian music legends and in this video they cover an old classic, 'Since I Fell for You'. Soul is pouring out of this through both the vocals and the guitar and it's a clip that I've continually come back to for years and get goosebumps every time I watch it. Diesel is, in my opinion, one of the best Australian guitarists and Jimmy is one of our greatest singers.
I hope you enjoy it!

Love having the side by side solos from Trey and Billy on this one. All time from both of these guys. Trey's smile is infectious. : )
Jeff Beck with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass playing "Pork Pie" live from Ronnie Scott's (great album BTW). RIP Jeff Beck. Soo dang good.
Matthias Hautsch playing a solo acoustic version of Stevie Wonder's classic "I Wish."
The Jerry Garcia Band with Bruce Hornsby playing "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
Robben Ford and Larry Carlton performing a stellar, beautiful and soul stirring acoustic version of "I Put A Spell On You."
