Guitar Teacher REACTS: Zach Bryan - "Leaving" (Truthful Sessions)

[@lorddaniel2882]

In my opinion Zach Bryan is one of the greatest artists producing music. A true songwriter.

[@spanky586]

He's a bootleg Tyler Childers.

[@xitsAndrew3388]

@@spanky586 hes definitely started following his own style. a lot of people start with a style similar to people they like and inspire them. tyler was one for him. then when they eventually get comfortable in their own skin they begin to branch into their own persona. Zach showed that in the last album.

[@timjones9375]

@@spanky586 crazy because he’s better

[@GreyMouser517]

@@spanky586 it's funny. I heard a lot of people compare Tyler to Stapleton when he first started coming out. I can't hear that at all now, can't say that I did then. I guess the point is, everyone sounds like somebody else a little. I find that Zach has a little more of a Red Dirt country feel where Tyler has more of a bluegrass/folk sound. I love all three of the artists I mentioned. I just found Zach a couple months when he played at the WV state fair. I have to say I think I like his song writing better than the other two. But that's just my opinion. As far as similarity in vocals, people have to sing in their voice. I wouldn't suggest anyone stop singing and writing because they have a voice similar to another artist. We wouldn't have much to listen to if they did.

@@spanky586 lol tell us you don't know what you're talking about without telling us.

[@seanbuckley924]

Once you really start listening to his lyrics, you are hooked. Best songwriter of our generation!

[@keithmichaels1686]

Zach just released American Heartbreak and less then 2 months later he’s releasing another album Summertime Blues. Guys on Fire!

[@TruthfulSessions]

Thanks for mentioning our name in the title! It really was a great experience recording Zach. Just subscribed to the channel!

[@uncledodad]

Zach will be one of the most influential artist of our time.I believe his music will help our country’s people emotionally heal on many levels.

[@jsdinvegas]

I agree. I’ve added him to my playlist a couple months ago and I can’t get enough. It puts me in a better mood.

[@skrawny-clown-snatcherofth8651]

I pray your right but things are getting Crazy more and more everyday

[@claycartermusic]

when i play for friends or family, this is always the one that sticks around with them. this is the song they always remember me playing time after time. i’ll never take it out of my set list. i love this song and i love zach bryan.

[@massenafc]

you know, i cannot say that any of your videos have brought me to tears. I love Zach and this song. I connect so well to it. and your breakdown about half way about punching the dashboard and letting it all out because I care, albeit the wrong way to let it out, but i care. you finally put to words the thoughts in my head. that opened the floodgates and I needed that. keep up what you do man. thank you for this. and thank you for introducing me to some amazing artists through your channel and videos. i look forward to every one that comes out!

[@GareBear420]

I'm not going to lie, I clicked on this video and had it playing in the background not really thinking anything about it. I just had a breakup with the love of my life of 4 years and it's caused me to confront some deep issues within me that I've ignored for so long. Issues that caused me to hurt the one I love most. All I can say is thank you. Your words have really helped me figure out all of the thoughts and emotions I've been having and I feel like I can start the path towards being myself again. Thank you.

[@ginosletsplays]

Absolutely love the 2 Zach Bryan videos you’ve done! It’s crazy how much music this young man is putting out at such a young age, especially with the amount of depth in all of his lyrics!

[@jonald3]

68 fastback / Something in the orange / Shes alright. I could keep listing tracks from his new album. Its amazing

[@johnathannewton366]

You should check out the album he just released, 33 songs and a poem. Just over 2 hours I believe and it’s an absolute beauty of a record. The writing is something you’d really enjoy. It’s called American Heartbreak.

[@Guitargate]

I’d love to and I will!!

[@joshuamcmullen9362]

Something in the orange is an absolute masterpiece!

[@matthewluedeker6385]

Also the spoken word poem This Road I Know. Last track of the album. A lot of the phrases he used in the songs come from that poem. First time I heard it, I stopped what I was doing, sat down and listened to every word

[@braxtonvestal777]

@@Guitargate 68' fastback

[@carbine.h9830]

@@Guitargate and also his new summertime blues ep... Jamie with Charles Wesley Godwin has amazing storytelling

[@forcemajeur.5138]

So hyped I found this channel, thanks algorithm for once. Your personal breakdowns on your interpretations of the song make it evident you understand more than just the guitar portion of songs. Thank you for sharing this stuff with us. I don't think we've seen song writing and creativity like this since Townes Van Zandt, Waylon, and Van Morrison (which Van is totally different genre and comes from different musical influence but the song writing and playing of Zach Bryan really reminds me of those three combined).

[@Guitargate]

Thanks so much my friend!

[@alexbowen8364]

It’s so hard to explain the sheer emotion in the song, he’s said it in a way you can’t really say it better. It’s so damn good and makes you feel so much, how can describe being so overwhelmed

[@jewelrymoore1323]

Nothing slays me like a zach bryan song. "Dark" rips me to shreds. But is also so cathartic

[@FrankBurgos]

Im still suprised sometimes when I ask folks that are "country" and never heard of Zach Bryan. He was one of my gateway country artists, the man exudes aristry.

[@chrisn.2892]

I'm going through a similar situation. The way that you add some guitar in there and talk through the video and share some of your experiences makes this one of my most favorite videos of all time.

[@jonald3]

Just saw him last weekend. It was amazing and he kept downplaying how good everything was. Truly humble.

[@whip689]

I started playing to Rock when I was 17, but life had me Rolling...so I gave into it and quit 16 years later. Quitting something I had a passion for ended up leaving me lonely and depressed, and I relived it every day with no outlet. Watching your videos specifically the ones where you aren't necessarily transcribing a hot guitar lick, rather getting into the emotions and feelings that song make you enjoy is why I'm starting to look at buying a guitar again and write songs after a 15 year absence. Thank you, Mike👍

[@vitamind1200]

Never stop mate, never

[@davidwindham5804]

Excellent analysis. You can relate to what Zach was trying to convey in the song perfectly. He has a way of hitting you in the soul with his lyrics that so many people can relate to. Luckily we’re just seeing the beginning of this talent

[@allengreen870]

Mike you are the absolute best when it comes to translating the emotion of the song/artist to the masses. I love you man, keep it up 🤘🏻

[@robegeor]

Thanks!

[@Guitargate]

Thanks so much brother!!

[@benjamminnw]

This might be on of my most favorite reactions you've done. Love it!

[@markwhite7957]

Beautifully written, Beautifully translated, beautiful life

[@jcmartin1978]

Mike… you’re the most authentic dude on the planet man. I could see this song struck deep and you didn’t try to hide it at all.

[@billchase9348]

Gotta check out Billy Stay by Zach. One of his best story songs and songs in general

[@jackmcnaughton3096]

You sir are such a beauty. I love your passion and attention to detail for songwriting

[@tims-_-wrld4102]

when he played that guitar with zach in the background that sounded so good.

[@viletantrum]

Man, you have introduced me to so many great guitarist...Thank you so much...you are reference material to me...You truly enjoy music...so do I ...God bless you, man...

[@melian9999]

Those last lines, damn. I lived that

[@shanedemeter8275]

Awesome video! I just as well found this song and wow, it’s amazing and comforting that there are people that are just overwhelmed with emotions by this great song. You sir got a new sub

[@deblazz1044]

You’re class. Come for a bit a guitar, stay for the philosophy. Keep it coming!

[@andreww6026]

Thanks for this one Michael. Love this song and love seeing you enjoy it so much - lots of great messages from both you in the span of 12:45

[@peterivan22]

Wow, just very raw, honest, and powerful lyrics! Those are the songs that will usually hit you right in the gut. Awesome song!

[@staceyblackwood8089]

Just subscribed! Fantastic reaction. Zach is an incredible artist. Something in the Orange is one of my favorites by him.

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

I tell my wife you are my guitar teacher. hehe i been playing for 35 years. Never stop learning.

[@Seastone84]

Thanks Michael

[@XPLR-WithJoey-cp8yq]

Best songwriter alive at least to relate to my generation. Thanks for helping me though some of the hardest times in my life. Zach music sometimes seems we've been in the exact same shoes

[@x-cluster]

That prs guitar is so beautiful.

[@jodineiman7863]

perfect analysis once again of a beautiful song

[@caseyburns6187]

His new album is entirely fantastic. I’ve been listening to it on repeat since it dropped!

[@bigcountrymountainman9740]

Great video brother. I have been following Zack since he was acting on his bed with a cell phone videoing himself

[@joshbauman3587]

I’ve watched your videos for awhile now and I’ve loved all of them so far. ZB is the only artist I listen to nowadays so I’m truly grateful you made this video. If you’d want to do more ZB I’d recommend Late July, Loom, or Old man.

[@barrycarloni6345]

Wow, that explanation described my life at this moment. Thanks

[@michaelalligood4622]

Has a Ryan Bingham sound/quality to it. Good lyrics and heart behind it.

[@denleyblake1462]

The first 2.5 minutes of this video is spot on

[@chamham6734]

Prince ‘Empty Room’ is a good one! He’s really shredding, giving Santana!

[@Mycoraiseall]

my good man. consider doing a live stream or just make a video with you just jamming! because that opening was absolutely tasty !

[@rachelkopel5678]

I hear him and I hear you. I honor what you both have to say. Often it is the right thing to do. However, the message of George Jones, He Stopped Living her Today kept me almost an extra year in a relationship I never should have been in in the first place. Sometimes leaving is the very best thing to do for everyone involved. 💕🙋🎶

[@donaldmccombs5566]

Zach is an amazing song writer and singer, I'm not just saying that because I'm an okie too. As a fellow veteran his music pulls at me.

[@samrahaley7652]

This was like therapy, thanks mate

[@smccusker22]

Needed this. Thank you

[@kirkmccommas6412]

Just subscribed. Love the fact that you are not only about the guitar play but the groove, the sound and the feel. Would love to see your reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood (live at the El Mocambo) and Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues (live).

Thx Kirk! LOVE SRV!

Yeah, sometimes I interpret songs very different from the original. So, why not just make my own art! I can relate

[@nothingtoseehere293]

Welcome to Zach!!!!!

[@Vegasprimetime]

I can tell the exact moment this song broke you

[@enthusiasttv6582]

You absolutely have to check out American Heartbreak, not to mention all the writing on Deanne and Elisabeth....the man doesn't miss. On American Heartbreak, you need...I mean really need, to hear "68 fastback" and "billy stay" I've heard Billy Stay 15x and still can't sing it all the way through without getting choked up.

[@elihintz5620]

I just remembered I found out about Zach from a different video you did about him

[@calvingaiennie4803]

Zach’s my favorite artist so obviously I’d love to see more. Check out Washington Lilacs. Thanks for the video!!

You've absolutely gotta react to Berried Alive's guitarist Charles Caswell. Dudes INSANE

When it takes you 10 years to end up with your wife you probably relate to a song about leaving

[@isaiahhinote8774]

You should react to “Sleeping Alone” by Flatland Cavalry. As much of a sucker for lyrics you are I think you’ll love it.

[@anemandaane5183]

8:11 tasty lead work!

[@parksmcbride2616]

I love these videos! But nothing will compare to the band 49 Winchester. They are pretty small still but might be the best band I have ever heard. The lead singer has an unreal voice and it is very guitar-heavy with some amazing picking but also some great solos. Annabel, Hays Kansas, Veruca Salt, and Fool Hearted are some of my favorites!
