It comes with experience and study, but the most important thing is patience. Some stuff it will get more work to get done while others will be more easy. The more you study and listen closely it gets easier to recognize some patterns, chords and notes. I'ts like learning a new language. Keep working!

It was simple in its complexity but so masterful in its intricacy. The bass player had his own runs and added his key moments when Chris gave him small spaces.

We all know that Chris is a vocal hero and a hell of a song writer but now, thanks to you, we also understand what a guitar champion he is. Generational talent for sure.

Not the best, but actually a truly great player. Maybe because of their feel for melody, structure etc. Great singers and songwriters really know what to do with a guitar if they master the language. My favourite songwriters are often great players: Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Neil Young, etc., etc.

Well what can one say. That man is simply amazing. And his guitarr playing is Really tastefull. Like i allways have sad. Less is more!!!!

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

MIchael, try thin superglue and tissue paper. CA glue was developed as a field dressing for the Vietnam War, and is safe to be applied to an open wound. You get some inside the cut, squeeze the sides together and put one ply of tissue paper over it. The tissue will soak up some glue and form a callous-hard covering which also holds the cut closed. I sliced into the end of my left forefinger with a razor saw, it was stopped by the bone, but I patched it up with CA glue and was fully healed 2 weeks later. The scar is better than an untreated wound, too. It looks like it was sutured.

[@taylorbryan5175]

Same here, buddy. My dad taught me while we were baling hay. Water to rinse the wound, a dab of diesel fuel to clean the wound and stop the bleeding, and a smidge of Crazy Glue to seal that cut tight. Wrap it up in a bandage and that combo will get you through the rest of the workday no problem.

[@Fnberg744]

Haa! Heck yeah. I did duct work forever and you eventually learn how not to filet yourself but I'd use a little swatch off the bottom of my shirt and sm superglue and any kind of tape. Back to work!!!

I wouldn’t call him a slasher on the guitar, but the sound is amazing as a unit! He sounds exactly the same live as on an album. True talent

[@pyroman6000]

That guitar looks like a Jazzmaster. The extra controls for the "lead" channel, the unique trem, and the p90 looking pickups. I have one myself. Plugged into 2 brownface princetons, and a Vox of some kind (likely for the reverb, as his princetons don't have it). HELL of a tone he's getting here- I could listen to that all day!

[@soulsideout3732]

Hey Micheal, whats up? I have been playing guitar for 25+ years and I have to say that I love your channel. Even though I am not learning the guitar, I have found that its easy to become complacent or plateau in your learning. So the thing that I find great about your channel is that I am exposed to great new music that I might have never heard as well as older stuff that I might have forgotten about. The point is, that even though I have toured the country and played music most of my life, I have not peaked and I do not consider myself to be finished with my musical journey. I am glad to be traveling with you for now!!!! I feel we are kindred spirits. So if I'm a musical hitch-hiker, thanks for the lift!!!!

[@Guitargate]

Yeah buddy! That's what it's all about!

Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers are two at the top of their game. Worked their balls off and you know must've put up with serious lows. Not that many many others don't, or don't deserve this or that but Chris and Tyler are locked in their own ways and style, learned from staying at at they're beyond powerhouses. Chris has earned all those awards with his raw power. Tyler Childers will someday be in those shoes, let's just all hope the city folk aren't number from Stapletons domination when Tyler's reaching those heights

[@RogerThat902]

I love this breakdown, particularly the part about the band complimenting Chris. I've seen him do a set basically just him and his guitar and usually w/ a great singer that's the best because the band distracts. I think that's why acoustic unplugged sets are really popular. However, the way Chris uses the band, etc. actually makes this version better IMO. It builds tension and takes you on a ride the singer songwriter performance, while still amazing, doesn't.

[@mkieran75]

You should check out The Teskey Brothers if you haven't already - maybe either 'Hold Me - Live at the Forum' (great live performance) or 'I Get Up' 👌

[@champagnetastewithabeerpoc9919]

He's incredibly talented to say the least. He's also an accomplished songwriter. There's a video from CMT Crossroads here on KZbin featuring Keith Urban and John Mayer performing Keith's smash hit: "Sweet Thing" with a legendary guitar solo at the end by the two of them. You'd really enjoy it.

[@rvdvfender]

Yeah that one is great! Keith & Mayer 🙌🏻

[@rustyaxelrod]

Michael. A couple of observations: #1, that’s an early Fender Jaguar, p90 pick ups that work perfectly with #2 which is (I believe) the real secret of this performance and the reason it would have blown us away if we had been there...those two (count em TWO) Indian blanket cover boxes on stage which I believe are Leslie cabinets! I’ve listened to a lot of Chris’s music and I dig it, a lot, the vocals were great on this video but not his best guitar solo technical wise. He drops into a lot of basic stuff and even throws some Chuck Berry licks in there, a lot of hanging on whole and half notes repeated for a long time because he’s playing to the timing of those spinning speakers. Its really quite clever and I don’t think we can fully appreciate what the crowd got to hear at this show and why he chose to play it like he did. Correction: I said Jaguar and it’s really a JazzMaster. I get em mixed up. I hear the corrections coming, lol.

[@jwilsonhandmadeknives2760]

great post. i don’t have the knowledge that you do, but what you said makes sense and confirms my experience from hearing him live. As great as his records are, his live performance has that something special that the recording just doesn’t capture fully. It’s an energy, or a sonic dynamic- i don’t have the musical vocabulary to express it or explain it, which I’m sure you could. But however good he is on record, his live sound has that +1 that I don’t hear on his records.

[@Guitargate]

WOW! Thanks for this. That makes so much sense. Must have sounded killer live.

[@patrickschrepel7471]

Close, but it's actually a Jazzmaster. Jags have pups that are more like Strat singles, but even brighter. The Jazzmaster has the big soapbar singles.

[@patrickschrepel7471]

@@rustyaxelrod Sorry. Didn’t catch that. I always hate trying to correct people, but since Michael was pointing out that tone, it’s all Jazzmaster and Princeton Reverb.

[@FloridaManRacer]

Let me preface this so you get the train of thought I'm on without freaking out on me. I DO like this song and Chris's playing, however. When I first heard the soloing Chris does at the end I thought that's VERY simple and elementary soloing that sounds like someone who doesn't fully understand the scales they're playing so they're limited in their note choices to a point that you get long drawn out licks of one or two notes repeating because they have nowhere else to go in their mind. Watching more closely though, you realize the dynamics and that his style of music lends itself to the early blues feel of his guitar playing. Which is one trademark of real early blues music. Certain licks just drag and drone on sometimes which doesn't always please my ear personally and I recognized his playing here as such. But it's appropriate. It fits, it works, and when you LISTEN you can hear it's not just some 12 yr old learning blues licks with nowhere to go in his mind. It's all planned to give a certain raw unfiltered sound to the music.

[@Utubewrk123]

No Chris knows what he’s doing. Sometimes simplicity is way better than continuous shredding that nobody can remember. I bet you remember this song though. I’m not into into country but Chris is a special one. Thh he and a few modern country guitar slingers and singers are great. Chris, Keith Urban and a few more. Like Vince Gill as far as a great guitarist but his songs are kindve getting old. Big still he’s a great player and singer. But Chris has one hell of a voice and he’s willing to play with current RNB singer guitarist HER. He’s also played with Mayer. He’s not stubborn that’s for sure. He’s willing to expand.
