Guitar Teacher REACTS: Midnight In Harlem | Tedeschi Trucks Band LIVE

[@wingsofpegasus]

These videos are cool, they've only just been 'suggested' to me recently but it's great to see the bar raised for the 'reacts' videos. This is what I enjoy seeing, a person 'reacting' and explaining why something is so good with musical and technical insight. I was asked to do a video taking a look at a guitarist called 'Mrs. Smith' a while ago, I pointed out to my subscribers not to let her ability fly under the radar! It's great there's now a platform for people to appreciate your talents in an alternative way, I hope more and more people find your channel here :) (Edit: I was typing too fast and made lots of mistakes!)

[@Guitargate]

Thanks and you as well my friend! I’ve always enjoyed your analysis videos. If your ever on the east coast of the US let me know and we’ll do one together. I’m in Baltimore. Cheers!

[@wingsofpegasus]

@@Guitargate That would be cool! I'm looking at getting 'guests' on in the future, so it would be possible to team up for something. I've just got to figure out how to best to present it, but I'll get there!

[@Guitargate]

Wings of Pegasus love it. Let’s stay in touch.

[@ogs1mpson609]

Get a room guys 😉 Like literally. You’re currently my two favorite react/guitar teachers on KZbin. You both keep it real positive and it would be awesome to see you collaborate

The bass. The bass is phenomenal. This song and especially this performance is just a musical masterpiece 😊 Sublime.

Otiel Burbage is a master of the bass... Modern Mozart of the low freak.

Susan could sing the phone book and I'd listen.

That was the Harlem phone book.

[@saltykat3533]

😂😂. So true

[@jukejointjack]

I do theater work and I’ve set up multiple shows for this group they are most definitely one of the best bands working today. Susan, Derek the band and crew are super kind and humble and just a joy to work with. It’s always a good day when they come through town.

[@BelovedChatter]

That’s awesome to hear…and yes they sound awesome. I’ve oddly run into Derek twice in NYC during the Allman runs at the Beacon. Super nice normal guy. Now Dicky Betts…

[@dylanjoseph583]

So beautiful to see Kofi and Oteil playing together here. What a band.

[@Guitargate]

YES

[@ladikermis7804]

RIP Kofi

[@georgefraser7143]

Nothing I've ever heard comes close to this performance, it's flawless. Susan is a gift I simple adore her. ♥ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@GryynGlo]

Derek has made me cry- there is something so incredibly human and stunningly beautiful about his playing that makes him stand out.

[@davidlewis8814]

Oh yeah. Most anytime I hear him. It’s that mastery of dynamic control and flow, maybe. Just kills me!

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

You've never experienced real, unbridled, authentic jealousy until you've heard Derek play the guitar.

[@cobra1995xx]

As a drummer i still agree 100%.. seeing this performance , hundreds of times now.. i can only imagine being on that stage and imagining what a special feelin this has to be being locked in with an entire band of such awesome musicians with soooo many people there

[@Larry1077]

Oteil on bass is killing it here. You can see Susan checking out what he's playing during the guitar solo :)

[@jackeminor]

I know! Ive seen this vid countless times and I always love watching her reacting to and checking out Oteil just crushin it back there.

[@juiceboxhero31]

Derek plays (played) off of Oteil a lot. Oteil provides such groovy beds for Derek to play in. Same w Kofi. I miss Kofi.

[@EndangeredSouls]

The look on your face and body language during his solo is what we all do, lol. To me, every solo by Trucks is like an amazing journey, his solos are structured so well to start mellow and then soar to towering heights. It's not even about the notes he's playing at that point - we all as guitarist could play the same notes he's playing, but we could not put the level of emotion and depth he puts in it.

[@lancelotlink6545]

I was at this concert - Crossroads 2010 Chicago. It was the first time I heard Tedeschi Trucks. I had never even heard of them at the time. They were absolutely one of the highlights of star studded show. This performance transcended music and went into the spiritual realm. Listening to it now still makes my head explode! Derrick can make each note sing in a way that most players can only dream of. If you want a good laugh watch the video of him sitting and playing with John Mayer and BB King where King gives him the highest compliment a player can receive. He's just that good.

[@rebuttalc2075]

Lancelot Link same with me, that was my fave crossroads, sucks Gregg couldnt make it but TTB with warren was a great fill in

[@kevinborchers3522]

John Mayer also said Derek is the best of the best today. He said anytime he is on a stage with him he is just working his ass off to come in second.

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

I envy your good luck there, Lance. I didn't know about it, and was only 100 miles west. Kind of fucks me up that I missed this! But I've seen TTB more than any other band since then though, so lucky me eventually!

[@eddie3064]

I've been lucky enough to have seen Derek since he was just 15 years old. Anybody who saw him back then knew he was destined for greatness. He already had the lineage...he is afterall Butch Truck's nephew, one of the founding members of the Allman Brothers Band, but Derek always had this unique marurity about him that was so noticeable even at an early age. I mean this dude was playing Miles Davis, Coltrane, Sun Ra and Willie Dixon like it was second nature before he was old enough to drive. Seriously, who plays complicated trumpet and sax riffs on slide guitar with that kind of authority and perfect intonation? Only Derek, that's who. I could listen to him play all day long...and have. Also, Derek's tone is instantly recognizable. It's woody, it's organic and it's pure. No delay pedals, no chorus, no overdrive, no nothing to interrupt that purity. Just an SG, a guitar cord and Derek's hands...that's it. Derek has a unique connection to his instrument that only great ones have...like Stevie Ray, Hendrix, Duane Allman and maybe a handful of others. Between his solo bands and the Allman Brothers, I have seen Derek probably 50 times on stage over the past 20 plus years, and he always leaves my jaw on the floor. When he is at the peak of his solos, there is nothing like it. Open your mind to Derek and your heart will follow. Anyway, great video and nice breakdown. Time to pick up my guitar and play along as well. By the way, to the other guitar players out there who may not know, Derek is 99% of the time playing in open E which can make it a bit difficult to play along in standard tuning... Enjoy...

[@sasquatchmaximus680]

Saw him at The Gin in Oxford, MS around 1993 or 1994...just a kid. Freakin monster talent even as a “kid” at that time...I dare say he was even old enough to be in the parking lot of that pkace

[@stevelankford7343]

Exacttly!!!

[@jeffhansen556]

Saw Derek for the first time in a Braves hat, rattie t-shirt and surf shorts with Greg and Butch in 92. He brought the house down. Second best show to the 20 TTB’s I’ve seen. How they perform with that big old beast of a band amazes me.

[@BelovedChatter]

Perhaps controversial but when I listen to this song Oteil's bass just jumps out above everything else. What a band.

[@cobra1995xx]

Hard to argue against that.. tbe bass is 🔥🔥

[@JasonVesuvio]

agreed....and the video says Susan might agree as well ha

[@ryanelliott9081]

My favorite thing about this channel is just watching your reaction to the music. It just brings me joy to watch the impact great music has on people. That is why music will always be one of my favorite emotional outlets. Keep up the awesome work dude.

[@thebentley71]

The bass lines are so beautiful & carry the song. I've met Derrick, my oldest half brother was a roadie for the Allman bros from 71-74. He told me he plays in standard tuning not open tuning. He also told me he learned a lot of his playing from the players from India. Even his bass player plays lines from Indian music. That keyboard/organ player died a couple of years ago. They are the best soulful blues band out right now.

[@kutsbothways]

This band makes me feel the same way as you. The passion they exude just puts a lump in my throat sometimes. We might not all be able to aspire to Dereks level of musicianship, but we can all strive for that kind of passion in our playing. Some of the most memorable compliments I have ever gotten while performing weren't about my playing but about how I played my heart out for the audience. Thank you for what you do.

[@joeynice123]

They are such a treat live. Always mesmerizing to watch his right hand play.

[@DrSagaciousone]

Love this band. This band is so awesome. They organ player is SUPER AWESOME and blends so well with every instrument. Derek Trucks is in my top 5 guitarists. Period! Susan can sing like an angel! Awesome group!!

[@SponchHour]

The description you go into at the end basically breaking down WHY this is so amazing is what makes your channel so great and genuine, dude 👍👍👍👍

[@Guitargate]

Thank you dude!!

[@GregWorzel]

I'm unable to watch a video of them without tears. It's so perfect.

[@gabrielfloriani6121]

Haha the same here

[@geoffreybonham3802]

I just teared up listening to that! Glad it’s not just me

[@midnightrider5797]

Derek is a straight-up assassin on that guitar.

[@jerrylives2278]

This is my favorite version of this tune and so glad you picked it! Seeing them live is like a relief, like a glimpse into what's really goin down. Life is good when the creative are creating!

[@stevelankford7343]

Me and my wife met Derek on the sidewalk outside the Alabama Theater in Birmingham. We got pic with him, we both had our arms around his shoulders. My wife told him “your my hero”, and I was speechless and he was just his humble peaceful self. After that it was Macon, Tuscaloosa, Atlanta, Tuscaloosa, Nashville Ryman. Best shows of my life!

[@jasonkerr931]

I’ve seen Tedeschi Trucks live 4 times at the Ryman in Nashville, and it never gets old, it only gets better!

[@mrb07005]

Derek is king! Seen TTB 7x and never ceases to amaze, have a great time at the show! Thanks for keeping up these great breakdowns, the insight and song choice has been perfect 👌

[@Guitargate]

Matt Beaudoin thanks!!

[@jackstraw4129]

I saw Derek play with the ABB and a few others in the early 90's when he really was just a kid. Now Michael is saying he's is favorite guitarist on the scene and that makes me very happy. I wish Derek health and happiness and a long life.

[@brunowright6984]

Dereks guitar and Susan’s voice insanely emotional on this track, and the band, so so good. As a flute player its great to hear the breakdown of the guitar. Probably never get to see them here in Australia, especially now we are all in lockdown. Crazy world but now that I have discovered TTB the world seems a little less mad.

[@donaldwilcox2448]

That song was actually written by one of the backup singers who was the lead singer for the Derek Trucks band before Tedeschi came in. Mike Mattison.

[@ArtilleryForLife]

Mike is such a talented artist,I love his voice!

[@lzylight]

TTB is church, DTB is heaven

[@DoumdaDoum]

he wrote the lyrics, not the song lol

[@juiceboxhero31]

The song is credited to Trucks and Mattison. Mike has a great version of the song on one of his solo albums. Epic songwriting.

[@staive70ss]

I had to come back 2yrs later and comment. This song is hands down the most soul soothing song ever written...the cascading major7 progression....Susan's voice... Derek's playing. This song is in my top 10 of all time.

[@michaelaronson9447]

I have never listened to a more captivating solo in my life. Shivers down my spine. The man is blessed.

[@garywhitworth9457]

I saw this band a few months ago and they are phenomenal, musicianship to the next level. 12 musicians who are stand alone brilliant.

[@Dr_mvks]

Best live band currently around.

[@ArtilleryForLife]

Truth. Their shows always deliver and never disappoint!

[@GetMasty]

Have you seen Billy Strings live yet? Totally different genre obviously, but I'm telling you....it's one of the best shows that I've seen. I think my tops are: Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks, Billy Strings, Marcus King in terms of really enjoying the musicianship and guitar work involved.

[@brooks5340]

JBlueMast saw billy strings at the back home festival is WV two years in a row. It’s a free festival. Unfortunately they had to cancel this year due to corona but I believe they’re having him back next year. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

[@Pix2GoStudios]

With you 100% on that. Super solid, super tight, super good!

[@TheWdayton]

I got to see them live in 2019, and they were so incredible. And the crowd was so good too! All true music fans, super chill and polite, some joints floating around, tons of people un-self consciously dancing - just a wonderful experience all around.

[@missyounorm33]

Let's give some ups to this sick groove that the drummer is laying. That hi hat open on the "and" of 3 and the 4. So good.

[@Guitargate]

Oh 100%

[@nomadman123]

Outstanding breakdown of the song. I love the “floaty” sound as you describe it and now I can play along. When this album first came out I added this tune to my favourite 20. I add and subtract songs all the time but this one is still there. A great band and Derek and Susan are such a great duo. Derek melts my face and Susan melts my heart. We’re living in great times especially when it comes to music.

[@euanhendry1556]

This performance from Claptons festival in 2010 was a formative moment for me as a 14 year old. Totally enlightening

[@thePaulLayton]

OMG My dude has the best taste in the business! Thank you for shining light on the TTB! I lived in Dundalk for a while... wish we could have meet at the Full Moon Saloon! Thank you sir.

[@BluesHeavy]

This might be my favorite song of all time it’s just perfect the singing the playing , the emotion the build up and then retreat is perfect. I get chills

[@manhalen7046]

I love this song and it's a great performance and more bands need an organ, I'm convinced of that.

[@birdmanblues34]

That solo consistently gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. Great stuff.

[@hichaelmartline]

Derek is the only guitar player to make me openly weep. Not just like some emotional tears you get sometimes. Like gross, people stare at you cry. And I was sober at this show!

[@RyanCampbell-ve8yz]

This is factual. A true master of his craft.

[@harrysachs2274]

Of course it happened while sober. You can actually feel emotions when you're sober.

Derek Trucks is absolutely phenomenal. I remember a video of him playing with BB King and John Mayer and BB king just gave him the biggest compliment and he blew away these two legends. They were literally in awe of his playing, as we all are.

[@donnyhall2535]

As soon as Derek started with the slide, I got chills. Everytime I get chills. Something about it. I can hear and feel Duanne Allman playing through Derek. That Derek's slide work with Susan's voice, that energy, the emotion, that easy groove on the drums and keys. It's electrifying.

[@davewylie654]

Iam not sure a better group of players have ever been assembled in one group before, Mike wrote a beautiful song and by letting Susan take the lead it became one of my all time favorites instantly

[@nealrose8653]

In 2015, at a music festival called Lockn. In central Virginia. It rained so hard the campground got flooded and lots of people lost all their stuff and we all had to be evacuated. Most of us that lost our camp sites gathered at the Walmart parking lot in Arrington (va)... Derrick and Susan came to the wally world parking lot. Just to chat with folks. To thanks us for coming and for trying to stick it out. They're good people. That was a real cool gesture on their part.

Thanks for all your uploads, you're really an engaging teacher. If you're feeling it, at some point if you were to breakdown what's going on with SRV's Lenny - Live at El Mocambo (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2bWon2Ee6uqp8U) I'm sure all of us would appreciate you doing so, it's every bit as expressive and nuanced as any guitar based instrumental I've ever heard. Midnight in Harlem and Lenny are two songs I hold in the highest esteem.

That’s one of my favorite solos to that song, by Derek! Great band.

[@juiceboxhero31]

“Together” because he played for YEARS w/ Oteil in ABB. YEARS w/Kofi in DTB (and Mike too) and, of course, married to Susan. As close to a family band as you can get w/out being actual family. So beautiful.

[@3GCMusic]

That version of Midnight in Harlem from Crossroads is at the top of my list of best performances ever. It hits me the same every time I watch that video, and....I’ve seen it many many times.

[@STSGuitar16]

Glad to hear that you also agree that Derek is the best doing it right now (he’s the best ever in my opinion). You’ll totally love TTB live show. It’s basically a religious experience man. If you think Derek knocks your socks off in recordings, just wait til you’re there in person hearing it come directly out of the man’s amp and into your ears. It’s an unreal musical experience. You’ll be hooked.

[@mikereynolds3294]

Trucks is basically my neighbor, lives in our neck of the woods. Beautiful studio in backyard, Swamp Raga......records most all his albums there. A lot of the band lives right around the neighborhood too, so when the feeling hits everybody handy to lay it down right then.

The slide guitar triggers emotions coming from the soul...especially the way Derek Trucks plays it. And Susan's vocals are smmooooth...

[@blunote47]

I saw DerekTrucks play at a hotel on South Beach in Miami Florida, I believe he was around 14 or 15 years old and all the tools in his guitar bag were present even then. He has taken those tools and polished them to the point of outshining a diamond. I would give anything to see him live. The way Susan looks at him every time he does a solo, you can tell she's not only his wife but just a big fan. The way his band brings in elements of world music and even jazz, just makes it even better. Michael, I love your enthusiasm when you do these reactions videos takes it up notches. Thanks for sharing.
