Guitar Teacher REACTS: Sturgill Simpson - "You Can Have The Crown" LIVE

[@EricC7676]

Sturgill Simpsons npr concert is an acoustic masterpiece

[@bluestogreen1693]

Your an acoustic masterpiece! Idk

[@707king]

I’m glad someone else feels this way. It’s extremely underrated. It’s a masterclass on picking and control / articulation on acoustic guitar.

[@k.o.o.p.a.]

@@707king BRO. I poast it everywhere and people dont see what we see. Its more than just cute face and a rugged voice

[@707king]

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.

[@richardmann4006]

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.

[@thefirebuilds]

I love that SunKing performance. The faces Adam makes are wonderful. And sunking is in indy and awesome.

[@cinci_nate7973]

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"?

[@victorlehtinen196]

Thanks for pointing that out, about Adam Davis' guitar part in this song. Love these Outlaw country artists- Simpson Childers, Wall.

[@NealDurando]

Love how everyone is just picking and grinning on this video. So strong. Spread the feelz.

[@rayclark6596]

"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.

[@scouthodgins5464]

Love it! Glad to see somebody really break down the guitar work in a Sturgill song

[@BOOMNERD51]

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.

[@g.matthews500]

Love to Adam Davis. Well deserved.

[@CBallSon]

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.

Checkout “Sunday Valley” never go to town again. AMAZING guitar work. The dude is an animal.

[@christopherpfost7563]

Sunday Valley is Sturgill's old band

[@JeffCrowell11]

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.

[@Guitargate]

100%

[@Dr.LessCharacter]

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"

[@bbull7652]

Sturgill’s guitar on Sometimes Wine astonishes me...gets stuck in my head for days everytime

[@ericedwards6019]

I'd also love to see you do Sturgill Simpson Life Ain't Fair Live

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.

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...

[@buzzard2082]

@@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.

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.!!!

[@joerobinson2538]

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.

[@Guitargate]

100% couldn’t agree more!! Thanks for tuning in. Check back tomorrow. More sturgill :)

[@gusfringe4057]

D’Angelo. Anything he’s done. All time favorite musician. Maybe the short clip he did for GQ.

would love to hear some guitar breakdown from Black Messiah. i.e. Till It's Done or Ain't That Easy

[@jawshoowa]

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.

[@antivaushistscheaktion1148]

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!

[@Sweetpeabowgirl]

You’re awesome with the explanations! Thanks!

[@b-diddybassfishing1631]

Angels by Willi Carlisle. He's mostly unknown, but this is a very deep, finger picking song that'll touch your heart.

[@ericedwards6019]

Do the rest of this live version please! Love his solo in that part lol 🤘

[@tylerdostal]

I know this was two years ago, but I'd like to second this.

[@FloydofOz]

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!

[@buzzard2082]

I love Glenn Campbell, but "Gentle on My Mind", is a John Hartford composition.

[@FloydofOz]

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.

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.
