Guitar Teacher REACTS: Vince Gill & Carrie Underwood “How Great Thou Art” | LIVE

[@seanjone4574]

One of the best vocal performances of all time. With Vince on harmony and with his masterful playing, it doesn’t get any better than this!

[@normawade9426]

I have watched this performance million times on a million channels.........I cry EVERY TIME!! Really enjoyed your reaction, nothing extra, pure and simple as is the performance. True talent.

[@lawlaw1]

Same

[@944clogue]

BET YOU I HAVE YOU BEAT... SHE NAILED THIS TO FEEL LIKE CHURCH....... BRAVO.....

[@paulagardner3218]

Same.

[@tarakersey6115]

Me too my friend and it hits my heart and spirit every time.

[@steveszanto1581]

If that doesn't give you goosebumps, you're broken. One of the greatest live performances, so damn powerful.

[@Imme_begin]

I can’t say how many times I have seen this, but I still get full body chills over and over and it always brings me to tears. Every time I went to see my Dad before he died, he showed me this performance. He always said, that’s not singing, that’s worship. We played this at his funeral.

[@analogdad9235]

I just thought to myself this needs to be played at my funeral. My grandparents had amazing grace played at theirs, but this is just amazing. So beautiful.

[@biscuitandme4119]

SAME! I bawl every time

[@clintfrancispodcast]

Your analysis of the song was 100% accurate. The song is bigger than the performers. This is my favorite gospel song. It is a praise to God, which makes it even more powerful. You can tell this song gave Carrie and Vince a sense of humility, because they served the song and the audience; not themselves.

[@brandonharbeke8326]

Check out Vince Gill's performance of "Go Rest High On That Mountain" at George Jones's memorial service. The emotions overtook Vince in the middle, and he let his guitar do the talking for him. It is one of the most amazing and human moments of music ever captured on film. Thanks for sharing this with everyone, Michael!

[@cakesaregood5176]

Brandon’s right. Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs with Vince is the ticket.

[@tomhoefling]

Absolutely. There's nothing better on KZbin.

[@scottshand8559]

I cry often when watching this. The song as a whole, the powerful, powerful voice of Carrie Underwood and the VOICE that Vince Gill gives this guitar. In my humble opinion likely the best live recorded song of all time. All time.

[@dorothyfischer2649]

This is a once in a lifetime performance. ❤ 🔥

[@michellejames5953]

That was OUTSTANDING! No other word to describe it. They moved everyone that night…..everyone. The authentic emotion in her voice is palpable. Vince’s voice and guitar playing is as smooth as it gets

[@jadefire2817]

I love that you just let the artists sing\play when it calls for it! As they say , Carrie and Vince took us all the way to church with this one! Great reaction as always!

[@nathanprofitt3224]

Michael, I was raised on this song! I’ve been listening to this Carrie and Vince clip for many years. You’re right, it’s simple, clean, and so powerful! Thanks for throwing in a gospel song!

[@russelljackman1413]

One of the most wonderful hymns ever written, sung and felt so beautifully, by both Carrie and Vince. An absolute pleasure to listen to. God bless them, and God bless YOU, Michael! Thank you for the service you perform for your fellow human beings! Much love to you, too.

[@RandyAgee]

I am in awe Everytime I listen to this and tear up Everytime as well!!!!!

[@maryhall4756]

Amen.

[@ashleyscracemusic]

Vince Gill is a guitarists' guitarist. I've often wondered why he's not brought up in EVERY conversation of the best players ever. Supremely talented. And holy shit - that voice of Carrie. Unreal.

[@taylormaines9909]

one of my favorite recordings ever. I cry everytime. As soon as i saw you posted it I instantly clicked. These two put on an absolute masterclass for everything you always preach about.

[@GailAndrews-cg5xe]

Goose bumps and tears. Thank you Carrie

[@brandonjwillis]

I like how your reaction paralleled Vince’s performance. No unnecessary embellishments; you let the “melody” be the star. You’re awesome!

[@MrNiccholas]

Vince epitomizes the concept of phrasing in this performance!

[@pettyeddie2000]

I get chills every time I watch this video of Carrie and Vince. It’s my all time favorite colab. *side note that PRS is gorgeous !! Luv the body color and design with the neck color. Chefs kiss !!!

[@Thatdadthang]

What a joy to see this pop up. Thanks Michael. Brought me to tears. Again. Blessings.

[@Rhythm04]

You always know when to just let the song play. I appreciate that about you

[@operationstayalive]

when vince comes in at 1:20 chills, he never steps in the spotlight rather lifts the song into the clouds. so pure in delivery it brings you to tears. raw power, but not forceful power, carrie is channeling some divine power, truly angelic. wow. this is church.

[@gregaustin8114]

Just amazing. Nothing less than amazing!

[@Bmattsoren]

It’s a Saturday night for me, and I’m just going through the routine watching KZbin videos and chilling out… and listening to this I had to put the beer down and close my eyes because it just brought me to church.

[@sblair300]

I think the part that puts this all in place for me is seeing Jennifer Nettles (Of Sugarland, who has amazing pipes herself), you can see her mouth the words "What a voice" at 6:08. I also get chills and tears when listening to this...every time. Thanks for the reaction!

[@rusnsc7622]

What I learned is… I never tire of hearing this uber talented duo sing this meaningful hymn! One of my fave performances. Thx Michael….🙏🇺🇸

[@juliechartier8689]

Beautiful and so very powerful. Pure talent.

[@beverlyroyal9838]

Watched this so many times and shed tears everytime. Carrie at here best and Vince never disappoints. WOW

[@tammywendt8684]

Complete goosebumps it’s was unbelievable 😊

[@ChromDome]

This has been a favorite of mine for years. Watching you react to it, brought back my memories of hearing this for the first time. The look of pure joy on your face!

[@unclecrips]

Yesss Michael!! More Vince Gill please!!!

[@edanfultz]

I appreciate you doing this song, Michael. Thanks Brandon for the suggestion. Michael, I watch most of your song/musician reviews and have prayed for you on several occasions as you have exposed your life and soul. Blessings. God is great! Jesus loves you.

[@russelljackman1413]

Amen.

[@bcox4229]

You're welcome! At the beginning of the video, you can see two other videos I've suggested in the past "Incurable Sadness" and "Goodbye World." Both great songs, by great musicians, with great, intimate delivery. I too have prayed for Michael as I believe we share some struggles. While I tend to favor depressing songs (or just those that allow us to express sadness), I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to pause and recognize that God is good, He is great, and appreciate the talent that He gave all the musicians in the video too.

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

WOW!!.. just freaking wow! I've watched this at least 50 times, no kidding, and I can't find anymore adjectives in Mr. Websters book to describe it. Carrie's voice over shadows everything, but don't miss Vince's tenor harmonies, and his incredible, flawless guitar solo. This is one for the ages.

[@laneice100]

This is the perfect reaction to this. Lol I love that you can literally hear the air whoosh out right as Carrie hits the hard notes. She is moving some air! What a powerful voice

[@kimmalizzy]

Chills. The emotions on your face throughout mirror mine.

[@greg_in_oz8429]

One of the most beautiful musical performances on this platform … something to watch every so often when seeking inspiration, not sure if you’ve covered Corey Henry’s cover of Purple Rain, but that’s another one that just needs to be watched multiple times, or the performance of Amazing Grace from Bonnaroo by Mumford and friends 👌

[@JR-tr1df]

That harmony...

[@pbtanaka]

Moved to tears. Phenomenal performance by both.

[@kenjude1]

Soloing around the melody. Check out Vince and Patty Loveless performing Vince’s song “Go Rest High on That Mountain” at the George Jones memorial/funeral show. Vince is so choked and emotional he can’t sing the third verse so after the piano/violin bridge he solos around the melody on acoustic guitar while he composes himself for the last chorus. He’s an absolute master.

[@timmcdonald9877]

The passion for Christ that this song is delivered in is so inspiring and incredible. Jesus Christ wants a relationship with all of us, whether you’re a follower or not. Thank you for sharing your experience. Praise God 🙏✝️

[@giteng007]

Watched this perfomance for the nth time and still get goosebumps. You can feel the Holy Spirit, believer or not, Carrie and Vince took us to Church.

[@sandralaskey3055]

When you put a power house like carrie and a master like Vince. Perfection ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrisheisserer]

Her pipes are second to none

[@G-Lander388]

Love that it was such a great performance it made you just want to listen for a moment… it is truly that good

[@TayValleyMX]

simple, pure, heartfelt and honest

[@johng3641]

Thanks for this. This song has always brought of my dad. Beautiful version.

[@susansapp6136]

You can't do this with so much feeling without having been through tough times. God shows his glory in so many ways. We need to NOTICE IT.

[@kdailey4315]

Absolutely perfect reaction. You're commentary and self reflection is spot on. Sometimes you just sit back and enjoy and play the melody.

[@danieldayton1113]

Michael. Yeah man, I love your reaction videos and reviews. Just attitude and love for the music and awesome to see.

[@mackkarnes7872]

never get tired of watching. How Great.....

[@donaldriddle230]

Sadly you got the cut version. There is the uncut where Vince did the choruse as a guitar solo.

[@Sassy_Kat]

I agree, that was a disservice to him by the one who made the recommendation. I think his reaction, seeing the full version, would have been much different. Personally, I always recommend the full version. Vince and Carrie did an awe inspiring job with this song. 😊

[@tanyapearcy2524]

yea, whoever made that cut, has no appreciation for the beautiful sounds of a guitar in the hands of the genius of Vince Gill

[@brooke3293]

Definitely need the full length version for a guitar analysis!!!!

[@annepinkerton6280]

This song ALWAYS brings me to tears, no matter who sings it but THIS combination gives me chills with it! Love Vince Gill anyway!!!

[@jarrodwellner8772]

Vince's simplicity is what makes him special!

[@christsotsoros]

Always get goosebumps on this one.

[@Sheliahhh69]

Loved your reaction! I used to sing this in church Keep them coming! Love & peace!

[@scottmaness5542]

Best ever live performance in history of ever!

[@christineoneal666]

I got to meet Vince Gill at his mom's house on Christmas day in 1992. He was still married to his first wife Janice Gill (from Sweethearts of the Rodeo) and his daughter Jenny was 9 at the time. Jenny was such a sweet kid (now a really great woman). Janice stayed upstairs and didn't even come down to say hello. I thought that was crappy, but whatever. Vince lived up to his nickname "Sweet Pea" (from George Jones). One of the nicest celebrities you could ever meet.

[@kevinward4268]

This is actually an edited version. He played for a bit longer on the live showing.

[@bv5278]

Grace. All Glory and Thanks be to God for all!

[@kimberlystark3944]

Yo need to watch the full version!!

[@markoehler2752]

That is actually the shortened version of this performance- Vince’s guitar solo was longer than that, and awesome, but it was Carrie’s lungs that made that so incredible. Not a huge fan of most of her music, but my God that girl can sing.

[@ninajones1175]

Pure and honest. Master talents. No need for fancy riffs.

[@StBernardAcres]

Thank you for recognizing and respecting the fact this performance could never be replicated. As an agnostic, even I have to question if God himself had anointed this superb example of his love for his people. My hat is off to you my friend. You showed that on an emotional level that you, like millions of others who’ve enjoyed this, was moved. What we learn to enjoy, is at least as important as what we learn to play.

[@avoncalling7886]

I tried to do this song with my voice teacher but I could never do it justice. That last stanza gets me every dang time!

[@flutetubamorg]

I've seen this a LOT and I'm always struck by the perfection of Vince's subtly against Carrie's absolutely inspired vocals. His humility during this performance is just inspiring.

[@pennyhill7680]

Never get tired of hearing this or watching first time reactions❤😂❤ great job

[@ralph_clay]

That was phenomenal!

[@denisebarber8973]

Amen 🙏🏻 sometimes you just gotta enjoy it 🎶🎶🎶🙌🏻💝🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@denisebarber8973]

FYI, her first performance of How Great Thou Art on the Grand Opry , is pure gold…. She was fresh off winning American Idol, it was so pure, so angelic, not so forced, as this with Vince. So moving 🎶🎶🎶💖💘

[@hackermusic3355]

Fabulous vocal.

[@tomlee5189]

your Reaction, makes you a Real Brother to me.. meny blessings and Greatings from Switzerland.. you do very Good, with your Chanel..

[@dang2226]

This is the most beautiful and powerful performances EVER!!!❤❤❤. Have watched it a million times, and especially during Christmas...i cant help but get a little teary eyed everytime. No nudity, no vulgar language, hatred name calling etc....pure talent so Id like to ask how Cardi B Lizzo Bad Bunny Sam Roberts Em Jayz Beyonce Swift compare to this?

[@604cuinkillah]

The greatest rendition to date. Carrie is a gift from The Lord

[@rudedogmat]

This is Girls night out slightly shorter version. The guitar solo actually includes the chorus of the song. Check out the official video.

[@jonrausenberger7419]

GOOSE bumps!!

[@tarakersey6115]

Johnny Cash is a Legend as well. I appreciate any artist whose passion exustes as they are playing that it literally reaches inside my heart and spirit.

[@triradial]

I agree - sometimes you've just got to enjoy it.

[@firemedic5100]

I get taken to church everytime I hear this. Nobody will ever do this song better than Vince and Carrie. Good things actually do come from Oklahoma.

[@QuentinAmes]

If you don't cry watching this performance... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@plain_simple_garak]

Charlie Daniels did a great version of this hymn as well, with a great fingerstyle intro and verse that builds into a triumphant worship anthem by the end

[@jonweaver4605]

I tear up everytime I hear this song..can wait to see the Lord

[@erinwhite3444]

Bro, Vince has that guitar talking!!!!!❤❤

[@jaycorful]

Thanks for this!

[@daningram3143]

Fantastic, God gets the GLORY!!!

[@beffers68]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you react to this performance. I reacted the same way. Just stopped what you are doing, and take it in. As far as that beautifully simple guitar solo? My husband is a drummer, and he always says (to all musicians) it's not always about what you play. Sometimes it's about what you DON'T play! 😊😊

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

2:55 THIS is a statement more profound than even you may realize. The song IS the MESSAGE and the Melody IS the song. without the melody the message is lost. And a song without a message really has no melody and vice versa ... what a shame it's too long for a bumper sticker or a T-shirt. .. But true just the same. Michael, Love your passion and insight. Both of these artists have a relationship with the message and the song.5:00 Carrie displays it from her heart.

[@paulsutubification]

I’m not a good singer, and I only know a few chords on the guitar. However, I used to lead worship in church and by the grace of God, people felt it because I felt it!

[@723taylorjharris]

“This is the real shit in case you weren’t sure.” Facts.

[@olderendirt]

Wonderful performance.

[@gregoryjohnson8946]

I named my cat "Sweet Pea" after Vince Gill as she can meow in that tenor range and she shows the same humility too.

[@sergeantfury785]

Amen.

[@JudithBurney]

Home Free also has a wonderful rendition of How Great Thou Art filmed in the Austrian Alps.

[@olavjarnes944]

This version is the cut version... originally it aired with the guitar solo twice as long

[@jasper_north]

Vince has a nice guitar collection…

[@k.a.l5478]

Vince Gill is country royalty.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Damn near swallowing the Microphone THE GAL UPSTAGES VINCE with Power and staying over the melody line, holding notes and reaching like it was December 31st at midnight ...... just too bad the duet was not more Vince Gill .... his beautiful natural tenor is so engaging .... don't get me wrong Carrie can blow ! But, two voices need be respecting the harmony and that is not happening with that potent gal on lead ! Enjoyed it for what it was ..... want a PROPER HARMONIC STELLAR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG = Listen to HOME FREE version of HOW GREAT THOU ART ..... will blow your mind !!! GBjj

[@hereonthe3L]

_Nice review! FYI: The clip of Vince Gill's solo is cut short on this... I'm not sure who sent you this video, but it cuts to the 2nd verse before the solo has finished. (It's simply a replay of the chorus, but Vince does flavorful chord progressions that are not shown here.)_

[@amykienitz6311]

You would love a live performance of Vince Gill, Kris Stapleton, and Keith Urban playing live in a small venue together, their playing Keith’s hit Blues Not Your Color no vocals just guitars just great down to earth. There is also a video of Vince doing an interview with college students in his home, barefoot and shorts. You would love part of his collection of guitars just hands a student one of his priceless guitars and says you play this, I’ll grab another one. Just a good jam session.

[@zacblades4242]

Goose bumps

[@narellesmith7932]

Thanks Mate . Appreciate your comments. You’ve reacted to “help” by John Farnham With the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra?

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to the group “BOSTON” More Than a Feeling. And Peace of Mind
