Look at my boy Tab...lol. Made his way to the Michael Palmisano KZbin empire. I love it. Thanks for covering him Michael. He and I are from the same hometown and I've had the privilege of playing several of the same festivals as him many times. Such an underrated guitarist, great vocalist and he's proud of his Cajun heritage.

[@Wardaug]

He is very underrated!

[@carlaclower5594]

He is a beast on that guitar of his - loved him💃

[@Texasbluestunes]

Houma!

[@louiseshive254]

No one does this song better than Tab Benoit and his band, Corey Duplechin, and Terrence Higgins. You just feel the longing.

[@patriciaglickman1415]

Love Terrence Higgins. Hi from New Orleans. Awesome song.

[@shotty2164]

Otis Redding has the best version of this song.

[@altfiwithleighlommen310]

I saw this guy play numerous times in college. He was like Buddy Guy, SRV, and Cajun Gumbo pouring out of a Telecaster with volume at 10. 👍 I can't wait to revisit

[@darrylkallen]

Good way to describe him. When I lived in Denver he made regular visits because he had family there. What a treat, because he's probably one of the most under rated blues guitarists I've ever seen. I didn't recognize him at first because I'd never seen him with long hair. Can't wait to see him again.

[@brandonjackson5865]

Saw him in New Orleans I was right against the stage about five feet away from his twin reverb he kept dimed the whole night, incredible player no doubt, I had no idea the greatness I was about witness when he walked out on the stage.

[@bobrat]

There's a bit of Johnny Winter in his bag too

[@onemorecast3913]

His playing is mesmerizing. Been a fan for years and seen him live several times. He brings 110% to every performance.

[@derekgammage9241]

My beautiful Bride and I danced to "Darkness" by Tab Benoit at our wedding. She trusted me to pick the song and went into it totally blind, she had never heard it. She still cries when she hears it to this day years later. I've been watching this cat play live since the late 80's in south Louisiana when that tele neck still looked like maple. Tab is the real deal.

[@Craig_Fussell]

Tab’s been around a long time and is a monster player and entertainer! Great pick! ✌🏻🎸🎶

[@sayrerowan734]

The master of the Telecaster. Tab just kills it every time.

[@65Superhawk]

I was in law school in Birmingham Alabama from 1995 to 1997. There was a cop who had gone back to law school and was one of my classmates. She turned me on that Tab was coming to town. I saw him at Five Points Music Hall and watched him just melt the faces of the audience. As a guitar player who had always played a Telecaster, I was just blown away. Moved to Nashville in 98 and got to see him during covid at the famous Ryman Auditorium with a limited audience. There was probably four hundred of us sitting 6 feet away from each other and we could yell requests. Samantha Fish opened up and was awesome as well.

[@BigAlGoodwin]

The ol 5 points music Hall..... bringing back memories of seeing Gravy open for Robert Cray there once. I've seen Tab twice, at Zydeco's, just up the hill from 5 points, great to see him live.

[@65Superhawk]

@@BigAlGoodwin I became friends with Rob from Gravy. Chris ("the Kid") subbed for our drummer once. He is in Baltimore nowadays, still playing. Last I spoke with him 4-5 months ago, he was planning a move back to Alabama.

[@Hockeytown19]

Tab is an awesome player and a great guy. Spent a couple hours with him once, and really nice, humble and funny guy. No pedals, just straight into his 2 amps and great tone.

[@michaelm4464]

YES! I have been telling people to check out Tab Benoit for ages now. Such an underrated musician. I had the honor of seeing him live in Evanston, Illinois a few years back and he tore the place up as well as being hilarious between songs.

[@nxcess9046]

I'd love Michael to react to Sunrise. My fav TB song. Medicine is a great one also

[@nxcess9046]

And I have a suggestion for you if you like TB. Eric Lindell. Both bayou artists

[@KuzbekCO]

Tab is one of my favorite guitarists. Love his playing, singing, and performers. He is a must see every time he comes through town.

[@brendanfleming4545]

Just wanted to say... you’ve so quickly become my favorite guitar channel on KZbin. I love how descriptive and in depth you go, it helps so much and your passion is so greatly appreciated!! Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@Texasbluesalley]

One of my favorite covers of any song ever.

[@Guitargate]

For sure!

[@seachild100]

I really enjoyed this one. Tab is a monster player and you did a great job outlining his approach. Thanks!

[@patriciaglickman1415]

Tab Benoit is a monster on guitar. (Old school). Being from New Orleans what can I say. Tab Benoit is an icon not only here, but world wide. If y’all have a chance come see Tab playing at Jazz Fest. (April in N.O.). Terrence Higgins is killing it on drums as well as the guy playing the B3 Organ. Thank you for playing this beautiful song.

[@richeaton7436]

👍 The Saturday night gig with Tab and Sonny at The Rock N Bowl during 'Fest, is the gig to see for guitar nuts.

[@seang9687]

Tab is the man. Great sense of humor it's like seeing a stand up between songs. Also he's straight into the amp. All of his effects are in his hands.

[@smoothpicker]

Damn!!! That is the absolute best cover of that song I have ever heard, the voice, the tone, the note choices from every member was spot on! Otis would be proud!!!

[@jasonbrooks633]

I just watched him live in February, one of the better shows I have been too. He is fantastic live

[@seanmoyer6500]

I'm glad he's getting some shine through your channel, Michael. Tab is such a great blues guitarist, and has been for years.

[@lawrencesmith43]

Love your channel and love Tab Benoit. This video barely scratches the surface of his amazing talent. My wife and I saw him live at a blues bar in Kansas City, when I was at the Army's Command and Staff College, and a few years later in Baltimore, when I was training at DIA at Bolling AFB. Made me wish I'd devoted 27 years to music instead of to the military. Thank you, Mr. Tab Benoit and Mr. Palmisano, for your service to the Nation!

[@brucewood9496]

Knuckleheads by chance ?

[@ffemto4]

Saw Tab Benoit in the early 2000’s in Charlotte, NC. The guy is unbelievable!!!!!!

[@biondipepe]

fun guy, great energy on stage and fantastic guitar player!

[@bobbylloyd9208]

Did you get the mitch hedberg feeling from him when he would talk with the audience? I loved how he would start out with a few songs and take requests in the middle and end with his few selected songs.

[@mirrorman8521]

Tab is one of the best blues guitarist alive today! He feels every note that he plays and sings. No pedals or effects, just a volume knob and lots of soul! Terrence Higgins on drums and Cory Duplechin on bass are always tight and know how to help him shine. If you can see this Trio live do it! The energy is raw and the performance is always top notch. Tab is the real deal. Thanks for doing this video, your insights and enthusiasm are always appreciated!!

[@drewvloedman3585]

Love Tab and his tasteful playing. I hear Soulshine in his solo. Am I alone?

[@zackarygee3133]

Dude Michael is a literal genius the way he picks this stuff apart! We love it

[@jimmymcclain6757]

I had the honor of seeing him a few years ago in Telluride, CO. He is a beast

[@richeaton7436]

heart>fingers>thinline>cord>amp ... no pedals Try his cover of Professor Longhair's classic, "Her Mind Is Gone", with Big Sam on Trombone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKrGe6igiryCaLc Always great music at a Tab show, but always great FUN too! You get a floor show, with his very amusing between song prattle.

[@TB-ve4fz]

You have great guitar knowledge I love the way you break dow Tab Benoit "These Arms of Mine" unfortunately half the time i don't have a clue what the heck you are talking about! What the heck is a diminished triad? I'm going to look it up! I'm looking to learn to play more of his music.... Another Favorite is Medicine! Thanks!!

[@cryptonator1988]

Man i think tab is playing in Atlanta in December 2023 i want to go so badly but i hate going to Atlanta. But im going to try to make it. I doubt i will but im going to try.. i want to hire tab personally to perform in my backyard seriously hopefully one day ill get to do that for my dads bday that would be awesome...

[@johnmahler7723]

Another great reaction video! Thanks always learn so much!

[@jtaylorstudios]

Damn that was a lot of theory. I rewound several times for the explanations and my brain hurts. I’m sure it will make sense at some point. I like knowing why things sound good.

[@gman323232]

seen Tab 30+ times, gets better every show!! bought a Blond Thin-line Telecaster remake, for Tab to sign, and followed him on "MY" Tab vacation in 2013 down through Florida. My wife and I had him sign it at each show. It hangs on my wall with pride. I have Been on his tour bus, drank his Courvoisier out of his Black Solo cups. Great times!!!

[@jonkerr2050]

I have tickets to see Tab at the Belly Up in August. Can’t freaking wait.

[@elliottnunez1057]

Tab Benoit plays the best version of Matchbox blues I've ever heard!! Even saw Stevie Ray do it Live back in the early late 80's early 90's . Trying to pick it out note for note now from a Live youtube video. It would be a cool video to pick that one apart too. IMO it's a much more fun song to play, as you'll see in the video the band gets really into it. The bass player changes the bassline up with walks toward the end that brings the song to a crescendo. I don't know how I just heard Tab Benoit for the first time about 8 months ago, lol

[@peterhodgkins6985]

Amazing analysis - And an amazing performance! That band is totally hooked up.

[@thomasgoode7322]

That sneaky BB King move extending to a minor pentatonic and resolving back to the major... just so good.

[@russellives6069]

favorite youtube teacher analyzing my favorite living guitar player. good way to end the week. if anyone has a chance to see Tab live, you won't be disappointed. he's funny as hell and to quote an uninitiated friend I took to a concert "that was bad ass" and "he has a monstrous tone"...coming from a metal guy.

[@russellives6069]

and I want to go to a concert with Michael, just to see if he has the same facial expressions he has watching these videos. I love the fact he looks like he is so excited by the music.

[@RedlineStands]

If you're interested in a good reaction video, check out Rain by The Teskey Brothers. The guitar work is solid, but the vocals give Unchained Melody a run for its money.

[@Skorpios1]

Tab can make a guitar cry; and he’s a homeboy from Houma. He always adds so much soul to his music it makes me happy and sad at the same time.

[@lporter8240]

Exactly!

[@KarklinPumpkin]

Good video. Michael's definitely one of the best guitar KZbinrs. Very underrated. You dont sit and talk about only mainstream music. I love Rick but he focuses on mainstream too much

[@brucedocsmith2837]

Very nice start to my day. Thanks

[@samfollin9706]

Just saw him last Thursday. Incredible! No pedals. Guitar, cable, amp. Simple and elegant. This tune is extremely joe cocker-esque

[@mchristr]

I saw a Guitar Player article (1994?) reviewing Tab and took a chance on his second album (What I Live For). He instantly become one of my favorite players, mixing rock, blues, funk, and Cajun like no one else. Michael, you killed it on this "react."

[@rachelkopel5678]

OMG. The music has my body melting. Your react opens so much. I am now going to watch it over again. Thank you always for the gift. 💕🙋🎶

[@davidjaxonmusic]

Tab is an amazing talent. His albums are great. But he really comes alive in a LIVE performance. I’ve seen him numerous times over the years and he just keeps getting better. By far my favorite blues artist today.

[@gavmc]

That was amazing, and love your enthusiasm for it!

[@ThePemf420]

Mr Michael I only recently started playing in my 40's after my father's passing. He tried &tried when I was a kid I was just not in to it in 1980! It's been seven years now I take notes rewatch video parts just seems like I get NO where. I Can play along with some great music I just don't seem to be able to make my own music..my dad played with a group called the Shatter tones back in the day. Alot of covers to be honest great music though. From Ccr to Sonny and Cher,Srv,hendrix, Meatloaf, The band...anyways I've just recently discovered JJ.Grey&The Mofro and holy smokes this guy Tab" new fan 4life " plays with the same soul..It's shining bright! I just wanted to say thanks for all you do! The time you give & inspiration you provide..Thank You Sir. If buy chance could you possibly do some JJ or Tesla? 4 80's 90's hard Rock kid in his late 40's now Thank you again Sir

[@brandonbussell5544]

Tab is such a master of dynamics and attack that he pulls you in and then pushes and pulls you throughout the song... a legend.

[@VincentVader]

He used to come through Birmingham a couple times a year when I lived there. I was there with bells on every time. Always played very small venues & I even talked to him several times after shows. He'd come out to the merch table & talk to anyone & everyone. He's the real deal & monster player.

[@alexbumpers]

So stoked to see Tab on here!! I randomly caught a show of his when I was back home for a weekend and he blew me away. One of the best blues guitarists out there right now.

[@boroberts5687]

Thank you Michael! Still enjoying my KZbin 200k PRS that you gave me! Keep bringing the heat!

[@wanderingweederspapa7878]

Dude, what a breath of fresh air, one of the greatest songs ever. Tab blows this out of the water..thanks for sharing ....the juice for sure

[@repem2004]

I remember requesting some Tab when you first started the guitar teacher reacts series. Thank god you’re finally getting around to him because he’s the man. Shelter me is awesome by him. Keep doing your thing Michael we’re all lovin it.

[@VinceFerrante]

Just saw Tab live for the first time last week… holy hell does he have a voice, and energy for days

[@robertrichter7702]

Love Tab ! He is Genuine raw Talent and tone !!

[@sherryr9756]

There is no substitute for Tab. His style can never be simulated because he plays his songs different every time so well delivered. Pro never to be beat.

[@Wardaug]

Love Tab, he is so minimalistic and that makes it even more enjoyable. Saw him in Birmingham last year and it made all the crap we went through seem like nothing. Power of good music!

[@BarbButler]

💙💙💙💙💙

[@JJPsyc]

I worked at The Bottom Line in NYC many moons ago, and Tab played there a few times when I worked there. He and his band were awesome, and cool, down to earth guys. I saw Tab live several times and he has something special.

[@kenkeyes8148]

Seen him several times. Consummate performer and entertainer, road warrior. His tone is rather "thin", no dirt or sparkle...but no ones cares. It's all about the notes with him.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I don't know if you take requests here or whatever but dude I'd HIGHLY recommend you check out Blackberry Smoke. They have some really incredible songs and are majorly carrying the southern rock torch. I'd recommend a song like Sleeping Dogs or everybody knows she's mine. Their songs have cool changes and are just really well written. Check them out if you haven't heard of them if you ever see this comment. You'll thank me for sure.

[@stevrgrs]

24:20 "Restrained , Profesional, PURPOSEFULNESS". Great observation :)

[@donnaplacco3648]

Wow! Love me some Tab! I found you through Oliver Anthony. Cool! It don't get much better than Tab...❤

[@LeannBurns-q2x]

I'm not a guitar player period. BUT I'm a huge music fan. Tab, Cory and the guys have brought me to a place in music appreciation that is beyond words. Seeing your reaction and explanations of his playing is awesome. Tab considers himself a drummer playing guitar. I'm headed out to see Tab and Cory on March 14, 2024 again. Thanks for the lessons! I've subscribed so maybe I can learn more! u

[@jpsother1183]

Back in the 90's I drove dirt track, and three brothers from Houma whose family owned an oil industry company, had a Toyota Celica in Benoit Red and Yellow lettering (if you spent any time in south Louisiana you'd see the company vehicles driving around the bayous) that I raced against. Barry was the one who drove the most, but Tab drove from time to time. He'd not be at the track one week and the next we'd ask where he was at, and he'd say "Had a gig." Then I quit driving for the car owners, and a few years was a delivery man for an auto parts supplier and I'd see signs saying Tab Benoit was playing at bars and clubs all around south Louisiana. Then one morning he is on a Morning Radio show, and they played "Nice And Warm". Damn, Tab. Ya never said you were that damned good. some years later again, I'm walking through a Borders Books (sign of age there) and lo, there is Tab on the cover of Guitar magazine. Except for the now long hair, and when it was still short a few years back, the grey peppering, he looks the same as back then. I can't say that about myself. (I got fat and bald) Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@78tag]

I would be sooooo much further along with my playing if I had been working with someone who explains the what and why instead of just memorizing....... SUB'D and ready for more - thanks for your effort. ( it really helps when the lesson involves a style like Benoit's groove - great choice)

[@BJJandBS]

Where would you begin if you dont understand anything at all that Michael is saying? Like what basic lesson?

[@TylerSnyder305]

Tab looks weird with long hair, I'm used to seeing 2010 tab with short hair. He still plays that '72 thin line telecaster like nobody's business that's fore sure and still killing this song. Micheal Grimm does a great job with this song vocally , but overall Tab still does it better. At least as far as covers goes, nobody does it like Otis of course. Some people always do the best vocally in studio, but so many of Tabs great studio recordings can pale in comparison to his live performances like this one here. His voice just gets better with age.

[@Baci302]

Tab is great as is this lesson! Also, love the T-shirt. New subscriber. Tab has another Tele that's a full solid body and either a P90 or mini-HB in the neck position. How about that keyboard player on the Hammond B3?

[@timothywoods8790]

You are one of the very few willing to tackle a Tab Benoit style playing. Thank you so much. I’ve been a follower of Tabs for years now. But so hard to find any instructions on his style of playing. I’m very grateful sir for this! 👍🎸

[@johnbartley7101]

Tab Benoit and friends are freaking awesome....i forgot who turned me on to them, but I'm so so happy that they did. I hope that your students can learn from this. I would love to hear derivatives of Tab...or ...mo betta blues!

[@andyshelton4026]

Michael , Tab Benoit is SO swampy! How about looking at another of my favorites, Robben Ford?

[@macthir13en87]

Not a guitarist...just a fan of music...always have been. I enjoy your breakdowns of music I listen to and have found a few new artists through you and your community...I will give back today, if you haven't seen cam cole you may want to see what he is all about. I just found him and thought everyone here may enjoy him as much as I do....oh, watch is live performances.

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

I've seen Tab probably 6 times. First in the early 90s. And last time 3 years ago, where he pointed out that he was using no pedals except one for the lights and a delay or phaser or something like that for a certain song or two. I always forget how good his voice is until I listen again. It sounds buttery smooth here. We go deep, we go nerdy... Love this channel.

[@scottperrin9655]

hell yes, one of the many great players from my neck of the woods, and he's hilarious. Ever reacted to any Sonny Landreth?

[@johnbartley7101]

I've watched this concert on KZbin...it was awesome...i dig your review.

[@BriantheLionNZ]

On ya Michael, I love that walk up from the 5th (E) too. Love your channel, chur max from New Zealand.

[@VincentVader]

I saw Tab with J.D. Simo last night in Oxford, AL. The band killed it!

[@ralphmunn1685]

"Special guest" Al Poliak on Hammond B3. Beautiful, sensitive playing by all! 🙏

Please go check out Tab's version of New Orleans Ladies playing with the original band

[@ronrumsey3205]

Well done, sir, well done!

[@shadowcasterstudios4042]

ive been playing for 30 years and i can follow along and hit almost every note he does just off feel but i cant play it without listening to him,, but not one thing you said makes any sense to me ,, maybe you should work on how to explain what you are talking about

[@rashannon81]

You need to cover more tab benoit please hes so underrated and such a gifted artist and amazing human being as well-!!!!!

How do you know so much about music 😮 love the videos so much information. Thank you

[@daniellandomobadando6600]

I honestly said to myself watching "Shut the 0 up" and i feel bad cuz i mean the theory exudes from you but i feel it if i cant understand it lol

[@Joe-ib5yk]

Check out Tab's Night Train. Awesome perfomance.

[@plgplgplg]

Solid vid man. Great to hear someone pick apart why something sounds good.

[@BobSiefken]

Tab Benoit plays drums in a Police tribute band called The Fuzz.

[@1menarje]

Michael-you crack me up when he hits a great lick and it looks like you have to back up and hold your breath.

[@Jointlock]

At quick glance I thought it was Johnny Hiland playing bass.

[@joeyguidry1231]

My Kajun buddy, not only awesome on stage but also a pilot. Used to fly pipeline patrol.

[@28drafting]

You could do a study on Cory Duplechin the drummer. He is fun to watch!

[@bicyclerider3978]

Tab is a great entertainer. Hilarious too. Go a little deeper on that guy and you will not be disappointed.

[@mitchweiner]

Never heard of this guy but I’m a fan now! I wonder if Chris Stapleton used this song as inspiration for Tennessee Whiskey! To my ear they sound similar! His voice reminds me a little of Aaron Neville!

[@Schr1987ama]

Check out "Down in the Swamp" from "Nice and Warm."

[@mitchweiner]

@@Schr1987ama Thanks! I will!

[@mitchweiner]

@@Schr1987ama Just listened to it. Great call! Thanks!

It would be great if you linked to the original video in the description!

[@christopherbaione5963]

Down in Beaumont TX- great to see some Tab love!!! ❤️🔥

I glanced at the thumbnail and thought Chael Sonnen took up the guitar.

Yo check out “Promenade” by Max Ostro.
