KingKoopa dude. Thank you. I showed friends and they’re like “yeah, cool” I’m like “DO YOU KNOW WHAT HES DOING AND HOW GORGEOUS IT SOUNDS RIGHT NOW?” They just shrug. Insane.
Well I'm a huge Sturgill fan so I'll keep it with him. I fell in love with his first couple albums and is some of the best country there is. And lo and behold he took a break from country, created his own damn genre in his latest album, and it's still f***** GOLD. I'd love to hear something from Sound & Fury. How about "The Best Clocknaker on Mars"?
Wow! I've seen Sturgill briefly with John Prine. Today I heard Waylon Jennings voice when he sang Billy Joe Shaver! From watching Fil and now you too, I realize my 1973-6 guitar lessons taught me none of this, as I was hell bent on playing every string on every chord I could. I'll be 70 in Feb. but this learning thing has really got me going.
You explain it so COOL MY BROTHER I'm like you I really liked that dudes playing you can watch his face he's having fun thats tight as hell and I cant get enough I'm glad I found your channel best on UA-cam STAY COOL
So glad you did a video on this performance. I LOVE all the chords and progressions the guitar player does. Like you said "Thats real shit!" haha glad I found this channel.
So glad to see this guy getting praise... Sturgill, yeah, he's incredible, but I mean Adam Davis! I didn't even know his name, but his playing was the first thing I noticed in this video. He's the sort of guitarist who's not playing anything too complicated, but the moment I hear it I think... man, I still have so much to learn.
That’s a great pic Michael thank you for your insight. I’ve always enjoyed the song and come back to it often. My favorite part of the lead guitar is his expression throughout the song. He’s having fun.
Thanks Michael for continuing to turn me on to new cool things I didn’t know about! For anyone wanting to dip their toe into this type of playing--if you play the major pentatonic with a few embellishments from the relative minor pentatonic-and most importantly- focus on the dominant 7-you can play convincingly enough to fake your way as a country player. Thats how I started but soon found myself going down the rabbit hole of kick ass country players like Brent Mason, Brad Paisley and Albert Lee (too name a few). As a Rock player (VH, Randy Rhoads, Paul Gilbert etc) I used to brush off country playing until I realized that it is just as unique and essential as jazz to any guitarist wanting to expand and explore new territory.
Mike, your level of expertise is so far beyond me …I’m left speechless …instant intimidation …with a feeling of, “what do I do next”. That being said, I love watching all your videos. You are spectacular, an inspiration, an instructor beyond the classroom. If I were to aspire to be as anyone…it would be you.!!!
I can't carry a tune or a stick of wood to the fireplace but I really enjoyed watching you have fun dissecting a great song from one of my favorite artists.
You called out the great little moves of the guitar in this song perfectly- and great to give him props. This live 2 song medley is a go to jam for me weekly.
Speaking of Sturgill...how bout’ a breakdown of Call to Arms live performance on SNL. Seemed obvious the band had something to prove and boy did they...
@@dianethornhill3651 I agree. It was one of the better live performances I've ever seen, and I'm an old dude who has seen many of the greatest rock n roll bands in history. Sturgill tore the roof off.
the best part about this guy adam, is that if you go on his insta as of today, his top 2 video's are of him playing some beautiful original solo modern-esque jazz guitar with big 5-6 note chords. great player with amazing versatility and the some of the most mature playing and taste !
Hey Michael, love these vids - your classic taste + broad ranging selections are right in my wheelhouse. I think you all would appreciate that one Marcus King Band number called Sorry ‘Bout Your Lover. (Great live version from Paste Studios, nyc). Keep em coming brother - and thanks!
Jesse Stewart. IDK, maybe you introduced him to me. he's very raw, but emotional. I like 'cold beer' and I have the version with the wind blasts on my iPhone and when it's pumped in the car I know I'm loosing hearing.
Came here from the Tyler vid, then the Colter vid. Also love me some Sturgill so here I am! I left a song suggestion link on the Tyler vid, I'll leave a (different) song here as well.
Just started watching your channel and your amazing! I love that your wanting feed back from your viewers. If you don't know who shakey graves is please look into him. I'd love to see you dissect "Roll The Bones" by Shakey Graves PLEASE!!!!!! He's sick and your sick. Shakey has such a different way of playing and it grabs you and sucks you in, and I feel like you would have a lot of fun with this one. Thank you love the channel and what your doing, keep up the good work much love
Dude!! Just discovered your channel. This is absolutely a good idea, reacting and breaking down the song at the same time. Keep this going!! If I can ask a favor: could you do Sturgill's performance of Life of Sin on David Letterman please?
Let’s see your take on Glenn Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind”, and particularly version he played on Craig Kilborne live. Most under-appreciated guitar virtuoso of the 20th century. And yes I know that’s a bold claim!
SplFEEDit I’m in the same boat. I know a few chords and can play some really simple stuff but 99% of this is over my head but I still enjoy it thoroughly!
Loving all of your videos! Try the solo from Sturgill - "Long White Line". Amazing guitar player in his group that harmonizes with himself, and it's just a damn well planned solo... you'll dig.
This is my favorite full band Sturgill performance of all so far. Adam Davis has been his best lead player yet. The Estonian dude is good too but just not the same. Davis really had the twang.
Dude... that silver sky sounds and looks great! I own a PRS SE custom 24 Floyd Rose and I love it but I would love to be able to afford a silver sky one day! I am a red blooded American who has proudly worn that flag on my shoulder overseas and I wish I could get only American made guitars but they are so damn expensive but seeing you play that guitar makes me want one even more. Great video bro keep it up and keep killing it!
Please rreview’sthe great JP’s ‘Sam Stone’. And Blake foley’s Clay Pigeons’. And If I could only fly’. Great picking and lyrics are so good....I really enjoy your reviews of John Prine’s Angel of Montgomery’ ‘hello in there’ Souvenirs’ and ‘’In’s Pute of Ourselves’. He is (was) my favourite folksinger by far...his lyrics are meaningful happy and heartbreaking in ONE song...I miss him’
My Rockabilly band did many shows with Stu's previous band, Sunday Valley. ( We are a Kentucky band as well ). Its A MUST you check out Never go to town Again by Sunday Valley...Stu is a smoking guitarist and I honestly think this group was his very best
Love this way of playing. I really need to work on my hybrid picking. How about the Kentucky Lineman's version of Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line? Really interesting guitar parts especially the solo.
Cool breakdown of what the lead is doing. I wish you were around in my twenties, so I could actually learn how to play well. I guess its not too late to learn. Gotta add a guitar to my list of things to shop for, right after weed and pills, hah!
Just found you and great videos. New subscriber and would love to have you do Billy Strings-turmoil and tinfoil but seriously any live performance would be great
Sturgill Simpsons npr concert is an acoustic masterpiece
Your an acoustic masterpiece! Idk
I’m glad someone else feels this way. It’s extremely underrated. It’s a masterclass on picking and control / articulation on acoustic guitar.
@@707king BRO. I poast it everywhere and people dont see what we see. Its more than just cute face and a rugged voice
KingKoopa dude. Thank you. I showed friends and they’re like “yeah, cool” I’m like “DO YOU KNOW WHAT HES DOING AND HOW GORGEOUS IT SOUNDS RIGHT NOW?” They just shrug. Insane.
Just saw him live a few weeks ago and the guy can straight up shred a guitar for hours on end. Truly amazing to see.
I love that SunKing performance. The faces Adam makes are wonderful. And sunking is in indy and awesome.
Love how everyone is just picking and grinning on this video. So strong. Spread the feelz.
Thanks for pointing that out, about Adam Davis' guitar part in this song.
Love these Outlaw country artists- Simpson Childers, Wall.
Well I'm a huge Sturgill fan so I'll keep it with him. I fell in love with his first couple albums and is some of the best country there is. And lo and behold he took a break from country, created his own damn genre in his latest album, and it's still f***** GOLD. I'd love to hear something from Sound & Fury. How about "The Best Clocknaker on Mars"?
Laughing all the way so far. What a neat song!
"Pick a lane", I love it! It reminds me of jazz rhythm players only using the top 3 notes of any chord. You got me, I just subscribed.
Sun King brewery is in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Dustin McFarland How do you know??
@@wallpaperkilla because it's a known fact
wallpaperkilla I believe it says it in the description of the original video
Sun king brewery is in Indiana been there a few times it is a well known place.
@@tonywhite5085 love me some WeeMac
You have a great ear and ability to breakdown music.
still need the second song of this video done! Please lol
Sun King Brewery is in Downtown Indianapolis, and I wish they would have live music like this regularly!
Would love to see you break down “life of sin” the lead is nuts on that song 😂
Wow! I've seen Sturgill briefly with John Prine. Today I heard Waylon Jennings voice when he sang Billy Joe Shaver!

Love it! Glad to see somebody really break down the guitar work in a Sturgill song
You explain it so COOL MY BROTHER I'm like you I really liked that dudes playing you can watch his face he's having fun thats tight as hell and I cant get enough I'm glad I found your channel best on UA-cam STAY COOL
So glad you did a video on this performance. I LOVE all the chords and progressions the guitar player does. Like you said "Thats real shit!" haha glad I found this channel.
You should check out Billy Strings.
Dust in a baggie
@@troybrown4753 yes! I prefer the house party video.
he has. marcus king and billy strings
@@1091dbow it was more on marcus but billy stole the show.
Billy strings is an acoustic phrophet! Marcus can solo and spread soul like butter!
Love to Adam Davis. Well deserved.
So glad to see this guy getting praise... Sturgill, yeah, he's incredible, but I mean Adam Davis! I didn't even know his name, but his playing was the first thing I noticed in this video. He's the sort of guitarist who's not playing anything too complicated, but the moment I hear it I think... man, I still have so much to learn.
Checkout “Sunday Valley” never go to town again. AMAZING guitar work. The dude is an animal.
Sunday Valley is Sturgill's old band
I'd also love to see you do Sturgill Simpson Life Ain't Fair Live
I believe Adam is with Sturg's earlier band Sunday Valley, awesome musician's. 2 of my faves are Boogie Jesus & "Sometimes Whiskey", "Sometimes Wine"
Sturgill’s guitar on Sometimes Wine astonishes me...gets stuck in my head for days everytime
Sturgills new album "The Ballad of Dood and Juanita" is amazing. Would love to see you react to the entire 28 minute album
The line at the end of played out and the next song about his dog just rips my guts out every time.
You’re awesome with the explanations! Thanks!
That’s a great pic Michael thank you for your insight. I’ve always enjoyed the song and come back to it often. My favorite part of the lead guitar is his expression throughout the song. He’s having fun.
100%
just in case anybody is wondering Gastonia is a city in North Carolina in between Charlotte and Hickory
Thanks Michael for continuing to turn me on to new cool things I didn’t know about!

100% couldn’t agree more!! Thanks for tuning in. Check back tomorrow. More sturgill :)
D’Angelo. Anything he’s done. All time favorite musician. Maybe the short clip he did for GQ.
Yessir! ua-cam.com/video/cHEAJeygbB4/v-deo.html
would love to hear some guitar breakdown from Black Messiah. i.e. Till It's Done or Ain't That Easy
Mike, your level of expertise is so far beyond me …I’m left speechless …instant intimidation …with a feeling of, “what do I do next”.
That being said, I love watching all your videos. You are spectacular, an inspiration, an instructor beyond the classroom.
If I were to aspire to be as anyone…it would be you.!!!
nice, I came to your channel for Morning Dew, but this is another favorite of mine.
One of the best opening lines of any song ever!
Do the rest of this live version please! Love his solo in that part lol 🤘
I know this was two years ago, but I'd like to second this.
Wish you would talk about a song called dust in a baggie
Troy Brown I got 20 long years for some dust in a baggie!
@@thejkyle I used my only phone call to contact my Daddy.
turmoil and tinfoil is another great one by him
The newer one Enough to Leave is good. Its not as bluegrass but its a sick straight up country tune
I can't carry a tune or a stick of wood to the fireplace but I really enjoyed watching you have fun dissecting a great song from one of my favorite artists.
You’re the only UA-cam channel I’ve ever wanted bell notifications turned on for
It’s weird how I am familiar with nearly every video you do one of these for. This is all of the music I love. Are you an algorithm?
You called out the great little moves of the guitar in this song perfectly- and great to give him props. This live 2 song medley is a go to jam for me weekly.
Hard Travellin’ Watchhouse. Amazing tele player.
Kickass breakdown of a kickass tune! Checking out your courses now.
Thx Brother
I wish you kept going! Killer work man, I learnt a lot!
Turtles All the Way Down. It's a real mood. Reminds me of the emotional reaction when I hear Gentle on my Mind/Glen Campbell ( aka Guitar Legend BTW)
Angels by Willi Carlisle. He's mostly unknown, but this is a very deep, finger picking song that'll touch your heart.
Soon as I have the money I am SOLD. You are awesome.... Thank you.
Speaking of Sturgill...how bout’ a breakdown of Call to Arms live performance on SNL. Seemed obvious the band had something to prove and boy did they...
Luke Moon oh boy do I agree! They burned that stage down!!’
@@dianethornhill3651 I agree. It was one of the better live performances I've ever seen, and I'm an old dude who has seen many of the greatest rock n roll bands in history. Sturgill tore the roof off.
Hey thanks for the tip off, had no idea this performance was so good....WOW.
Luke Moon that is an unreal performance. It’s a hardcore punk performance of a country tune.
Luke Moon that is an unreal performance. It’s a hardcore punk performance of a country tune.
I had the same reaction when I first heard the lyrics....
Sturgill kills it & Adan Davis shreds.
Great break down & instructions

Subbed up. The way you break down the "why" behind the licks making sense. Discussing the guitar parts and the importance of staying in the lane
This is so much my favorite new channel
That was awesome, learned a lot. Love to see more Sturgill
Hey Michael, love these vids - your classic taste + broad ranging selections are right in my wheelhouse.
I think you all would appreciate that one Marcus King Band number called Sorry ‘Bout Your Lover. (Great live version from Paste Studios, nyc).
Keep em coming brother - and thanks!
Love the video! Sun King is in Indianapolis.
One of my fav's - New subscriber
Great tips for breaking down the chords! I’ve been looking how to make the chords sound more tasteful
Love the lyrics in this one
Great videos. You can learn a song, and the principles for breaking down a song. Plus, a Sturgill fan! You got yourself a subscriber. Thanks!
Jesse Stewart. IDK, maybe you introduced him to me. he's very raw, but emotional. I like 'cold beer' and I have the version with the wind blasts on my iPhone and when it's pumped in the car I know I'm loosing hearing.
been getting recommended your videos man, good stuff.
That guitar is beautiful man. It looks very well taken care of.
Came here from the Tyler vid, then the Colter vid. Also love me some Sturgill so here I am! I left a song suggestion link on the Tyler vid, I'll leave a (different) song here as well.

Eye opening. Thanks dude
great breakdown on a song/band/artist I love, i look forward to you doing that second song on the video
Bro... awesome stuff man I love how you broke that down.
Great video! Great song! Love your analysis! Very helpful!
oh man you got a capt Jeff hat on! Run that Dog Son! He be catching lunkers in peoples faces! I love it

Please follow up with "Some Days"...the second song at the sun king brewery right after "You can have the crown"
Adam Davis love!
sturgil does an npr music desk at 7:00 a song called life of sin I'd like to see that one on your channel
I'd love to see you review Sometimes Wine. Sturgill really shows off on it. He never ceases to amaze me.
Let’s see your take on Glenn Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind”, and particularly version he played on Craig Kilborne live. Most under-appreciated guitar virtuoso of the 20th century. And yes I know that’s a bold claim!
I love Glenn Campbell, but "Gentle on My Mind", is a John Hartford composition.
Larry Valentine I know but his rendition is unique and that’s what I’m referencing. The guitar solo in the live show is amazing.
I don't know anything about guitars but this was still really cool to watch.
SplFEEDit I’m in the same boat. I know a few chords and can play some really simple stuff but 99% of this is over my head but I still enjoy it thoroughly!
Tyler and sturgill doing White House road. STURGIL is amazing in his guitar solo
When this came up on my phone I was skeptical because I love that song and that performance but the video was educational 🤘
Would love to see you react to Mitch King "Coming Back"....great tune and he slays the acoustic towards the end!
That bending during the solo reminded me immediately of Chattahoochee by Alan Jackson
6:23day tripper
Caught that too 😂
Yea man this guy never got enough credit I was impressed.
Late to the party on this song... thanks for breaking it down. Some new chops to add to my arsenal.
Check out Billy Strings and Marcus King doing Summertime, on a vintage martin and telecaster.
Loving all of your videos! Try the solo from Sturgill - "Long White Line". Amazing guitar player in his group that harmonizes with himself, and it's just a damn well planned solo... you'll dig.
God what a great tune. On it!
@@Guitargate Try Sturgill playing Sometimes Wine with his old band. Great guitar in the song if I remember right lol
I wanna see that “next video” with the volume swells and what not. The latter of that Sturgill video is the best.
the transition and queue between Sturgill and Adam is really cool.
is there a Sun King brewery in TX? Im from Indy and thats an Indy brew...
Very cool!!
Subscribed, this was super informative. Keep it up 💪
This is my favorite full band Sturgill performance of all so far. Adam Davis has been his best lead player yet. The Estonian dude is good too but just not the same. Davis really had the twang.
Next: Brent Cobb. Down in the Gully? Blackbird?
Love Brent Cobb so good so underrated!
Lyrical masterpiece!!! 😂
Still waiting on that second song.... come on Mike don't let us down.
Dang!!!! Please finish this. We play this in our band and that next part I need help on.
You seem very good and I will tell you this one thing the first song I ever learned Cold Cold ground by Tom waits
Cool video. I'd like to see you go over his live version of "Sometimes Wine"
Anyone notice that his intro lick would fit straight into the song too😂
Jason isbell speed trap town! You're the man. Get into the legend more then you have
