I just think it's so refreshing to see a guitarist and teacher so enthused about someone else's playing, most of the musicians I jam with are so jaded, especially fellow guitarists . I guess they have heard so much music and been so analytical that they disregard the emoting that players do when the notes are coming from emotions. Mr. Palmisano you are the real deal.huge respect to you.
I don't think you'll get many arguments. And combined with his singing? Dude's got soul. The thing is, there are so many incredible talents amongst the Gen x Gen Zers. Matteo Mancuso is a singular talent, Joe Bonamassa, Philipp Sayce are just a few of my favorites. I think Marcus has the most soul of all of 'em, and that is saying a lot.
I though “I ain’t got that in me” was a perfect way to describe it. At 58 years old, playing for 48 of em, I have decided there’s some players I’m just going to listen to and appreciate.
@@Guitargate Michael, please have a look at The Tesky Brothers, they have several live performances; Rain(Colors show), Paint my heart(live) and Honeymoon(live) 10 minutes of true musical awesomeness.
Ok so Marcus King was on my favourite podcast. And I found my way here. The way you break things down and your overflowing passion is very charismatic. High and tight. Keep feathering it, brother
You are correct Marcus is a beast. Saw him live 2 times. WOW. He is in his 20's. Such a talent. Live you just stop and listen to his voice work with the music. It is life changing.
The excitement this guy has for what Marcus King is doing here is simply infectious. I'm excited by the music, but I'm excited for how excited HE is about the music.
Met Marcus and band with his booking agent in Spokane Wa 4 years ago after a show. We stood on a sidewalk for over an hour just talking everything and music. Like hanging with your lifelong friends. GREAT KATS
I'm a singing drummer and I thoroughly enjoyed this passionate, enthusiastic, loving, respectful and knowledgable breakdown of one of the planets rarest talents - that is Marcus King. I just saw him at the Enmore theatre, Sydney Australia and I felt blessed to be there to witness such a talent, an incredible complete package - his band was just as mighty. Thank you for also pointing out the greatness in his vocal ... seriously, it's other worldly! 🙏
I discovered Marcus King and his band and honestly a lot of the music I don’t like in my ear except for him and then one day I heard the granola freegoodbye Carolina and it is my wake up song every day. I am in love with that man truly cannot stop listening to his voice his tone in that guitar is just an extension of his heart🥰
I can't stop watching your videos. Your geniune enthusiasm for great music in general draws me in. Your love and respect for masters of the craft whether they are new or old is as authentic as your taste . Thank you so much for these windows into your passion. It's contagious.
Marcus King's vocal performance on this is so...stunning. I know he's a superb guitarist. To see them combined so well is moving. And your teaching style is so cool! It's light on my mind and you put each new chord in context. I was just watching for fun, but I'm going to bring a guitar next time. Thank you.
MP stumbled back upon this. Love it. Your ability to pick stuff out of the blue is amazing on this one. From the arpeggios. to the funky chord voicings, great video sir!
I enjoy your enthusiasm about music. I am a 59 year old university student studying studio art and creative writing, but I am also a Visual Art, Writer, Musician, and Actor, and I really feel passionate about the arts. Your enthusiasm is palpable and contagious. Keep up your love of music and keep up pushing on others to feel that passion. The world needs the arts now more than ever. Peace out.
Marcus is awesome and he has so much going on, but the thing that caught my eye the most? Watch him switch from pick to finger style and back. SO SMOOTH!
I used to see these pop up in my feed and think “wow what an awful and cheap concept, I hate reaction videos” then I watched your videos and this is awesome stuff. For an intermediate to advanced guitarist like myself you break down just enough- you demonstrate your knowledge which is massively more than my own with humility but some real skill and a bloody brilliant ear. Nobody else is doing this and it’s great. Thank you.
Seen marcus king a handful of times over the last 3 or 4 years and everytime it's so different and he blows me away, one time it was a cover of war pigs by sabbath and it just blew my shit away next time I got some of the slow bluesier stuff and got to see his real soulful talent hes just so genuine and an amazing player and singer
EVERYTHING you have covered over the past month is so on point. Marcus king, sierra ferrel, Billy strings, colter, shaky graves, tyler childers!! And now.. your my next favourite bc you have recognized these amazing musicians.
Yo I went to high school with Marcus king and we went to music school together and we studied jazz there that’s where he gets his jazz touch from Steve Watson
Every time I watch your videos, I get so much energy off of you. The way you react so passionately to the music comes through the screen into my soul and makes me want to delve deeper into theory, practice and jamming along. Great stuff man. Cheers
This is the first video I’ve seen from your channel and it’s amazing. So informative but not too much and I love how you’re not forcing a reaction or personality. You are genuinely passionate and excited about all of these subtleties. I love it!
I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this. The appreciation he has for every little second of Kings playing and how you can see his appreciation etched in every facial movement! Excellent!
New to the channel, I really like how you break it down, you are much more realistic than any other music channel, it’s kinda your “take” on it instead of trying to play note for note. Super awesome! Thanks
I saw Marcus for the first time 4 years ago at a small club in Bethesda MD. He is the best young guitar player I have seen in years. Couple that with the voice and the writing and it's the trifecta. Thanks so much for doing this video. I started playing again and listening to music because of him. Marcus is the future of the music I love.
I watch Michael's videos but slowly find myself grasping theory from him. I am very much a low intermediate but low watching his genuine reactions to great music. Great content, I am amazed at how talented and easily he can grasp these concepts. I only hope I can this easily rip up a solo and dissect a song this easily in five-ten years.
I love your reaction videos so much. Your knowledge about music is astounding. I used to play in high school, but I don’t have any idea about music theory. What I love so much is your infectious enthusiasm and true appreciation for the artists you do these pieces on. Please, don’t ever stop. These videos brighten my day and I share them often.
Just started watching your reviews today. I love how you break it all down and give props to the musicians. You, sir, have the heart of a teacher. Thank you for what you do.
Your video just popped up as a recommendation, and when I saw Marcus King, I had to click. This kid blows me away, and Michael you reinforce my belief that Marcus King is truly truly something special. I really enjoy the breakdown and I look forward to many new videos and will take the time to watch the past ones as well. Much oblige, JMD.
Everytime I see one of your videos, it's great. Love the enthusiasm and joy you have for the music is wonderful, inspiring, and I might even learn something. Like this tune...
Thanks for doing this review. Had the pleasure of witnessing his rise here in Greenville SC. He was playing blues gigs with his father at 15. AMAZING!!
cant even watch for 3 seconds before i gotta pick up the guitar and try to recreate the tiny licks in the beginning, true inspiration, keep it up, love your work
Marcus is one of those guys that you can listen to over and over and just pick new stuff out every time. He’s just a monster player and a fretboard genius.
He’s 28 and his dad is also a musician go listen to Jam in the van Marcus king Rita is gone then he was younger and he’s amazing for sure bin a fan for years also he does a solo in a song with Jamie Johnson and the chicken Fried guy 😂👍
Tons of great insight into what Marcus king dose as a blues player, he’s brilliant and so is Michael explaining all of this stuff, I really wish I could take lessons from someone like Michael as a left handed guitar player it might be a tiny bit tricky but I know I would learn a ton from this guy. GREAT video!!!
I've been lucky enough to see Marcus King open for Derek Trucks and TTB twice now, and both times were incredible! This is probably my favorite song by him, just stunning and gorgeous!
I subscribed! Great video! I do play, and admire your ear, and how quick you pickup what Marcus is doing. It's also refreshing to see that, like myself, you aren't having to learn it note for note, but rather capture the essence and make it your own. I love to see talented players like yourself getting excited, and inspired by other players. Looking forward to more videos.
Soul is what I sum that singing and playing up to. Comes out in all the nuances you hear as a musician. Playing and Singing with the Soul.. music of the universe.
Michael...you do an absolutely great job. It is also clear that you love listening to and learning other people's riffs. And you do it quickly! That CANNOT be done without a clear understanding of music theory, with a lot of in-depth understanding and interest in the scales and derivations. Oh, also love that your rock that Paul Smith. I so not play guitar, but I have one of those in my "goodie" room.
You're a great teacher. This is the kind of theory I need to elevate my game. I've done the hours of scales and chords, I just need to make it all slow down in my head like it does for you. I can't just look at the guy playing and pick the chords out of the progression. I've been too loose with my training.
He was playing on a normal rare guitar video a few years back. It's cool to see him getting out there. He may never be a billboard topper but I see him being around a long long time
Marcus is from my hometown! First time I saw him he was 15, and he was this good even then! He's a really nice guy, and he inspired a lot of local musicians. Come check out the Greenville, SC music scene sometime!
It’s like the love child of Lindsey Buckingham and Patrick Dempsey is out here doing perfect 30 minute reaction videos like it’s no big deal.
You sir, get the pin.
I just think it's so refreshing to see a guitarist and teacher so enthused about someone else's playing, most of the musicians I jam with are so jaded, especially fellow guitarists . I guess they have heard so much music and been so analytical that they disregard the emoting that players do when the notes are coming from emotions. Mr. Palmisano you are the real deal.huge respect to you.
Jawdropping clarity. Thank you for this...
B vcd
That's the perfect comparison 😂
There is nothing better than watching somebody who knows their craft so deeply just completely nerd out like this.
Tbh I learned more from watching these videos than I did in my actual college music theory classes.
How does this guy only have 70K subscribers? I'm not even a musician and watch these. Killer stuff.
same
Thanks so much!! Wild that non musicians watch these. But I love it!
@@Guitargate Ive never even played a guitar and love these videos. Its fun to discover new music and watch your reactions!
@@blakebethany8472 same. I just know "flat 7" is a popular thing. But I just can't stop watching these. Especially. Spafford.....:)
He just got one more.
Gospel, soul, r&b, country, and blues this dude is absolutely
a prodigy.
Marcus King, in my opinion, is the greatest guitarist of this generation.
Great video. Thanks.
100% Agree. Makes it look totally effortless. Saw him with Tyler Childers 2 weeks ago and it was the BEST concert I've ever seen!
@@paulhunsicker4271I know this is a late comment but I’ve seen Marcus and Tyler separate. I can’t imagine both of them together! 😭 you’re so lucky
I don't think you'll get many arguments. And combined with his singing? Dude's got soul. The thing is, there are so many incredible talents amongst the Gen x Gen Zers. Matteo Mancuso is a singular talent, Joe Bonamassa, Philipp Sayce are just a few of my favorites. I think Marcus has the most soul of all of 'em, and that is saying a lot.
Hands down
"I get it...can't do it, but I get it"!! #Priceless !
Truth !
Absolutely brilliant. That's like jimmy Herring saying he cant vibrato like Clapton.
I though “I ain’t got that in me” was a perfect way to describe it. At 58 years old, playing for 48 of em, I have decided there’s some players I’m just going to listen to and appreciate.
Agreed. I love the humility and just genuine appreciation here in this video.
@@Guitargate Michael, please have a look at The Tesky Brothers, they have several live performances; Rain(Colors show), Paint my heart(live) and Honeymoon(live) 10 minutes of true musical awesomeness.
Ok so Marcus King was on my favourite podcast.
And I found my way here.
The way you break things down and your overflowing passion is very charismatic.
High and tight. Keep feathering it, brother
Will do sir!
Dont be stingy Rob.
Following proto and im here also
Keep it high and tight
Keep feathering it
Marcus King! Bringing back the music we’ve so desperately needed. Amazing vocals coupled with instrumental mastery.
Marcus’ dad, Marvin King, has sat here in my man cave on several occasions. Really good people.
Why would you make that up man?
Thank God for Marcus King. Hell yeah, the talent is off the charts.
OFF THE CHARTS!
@@Guitargate and Billy
Do you think he’s better than billy strings?
@@Claypoool what is better? They're both amazing and very different.
You are correct Marcus is a beast. Saw him live 2 times. WOW. He is in his 20's. Such a talent. Live you just stop and listen to his voice work with the music. It is life changing.
The excitement this guy has for what Marcus King is doing here is simply infectious. I'm excited by the music, but I'm excited for how excited HE is about the music.
His excitement is infections and it's real. It makes me feel that rush you feel when music goes straight to your heart.
“He has... which I don’t have”. Me too brother me too.
Yup.
Dieter MacPherson I felt that honesty 🤣😳
Met Marcus and band with his booking agent in Spokane Wa 4 years ago after a show. We stood on a sidewalk for over an hour just talking everything and music. Like hanging with your lifelong friends. GREAT KATS
Super cool man, lucky, rock on
The Tallest Man on Earth is a must needed musician you need to listen to!! Thousand Ways, Love Is All, any song!
Thanks!
my pleasure
Marcus King is a natural. This guy Was born to entertain all of us that love music.
Brother your enthusiasm is electric! Thank you for doing what you do!
I'm a singing drummer and I thoroughly enjoyed this passionate, enthusiastic, loving, respectful and knowledgable breakdown of one of the planets rarest talents - that is Marcus King. I just saw him at the Enmore theatre, Sydney Australia and I felt blessed to be there to witness such a talent, an incredible complete package - his band was just as mighty. Thank you for also pointing out the greatness in his vocal ... seriously, it's other worldly! 🙏
The pure passion in this video is unreal
I love Marcus. Have seen him several times in concert! He is amazing.
His “Goodbye Carolina” at the Opry IIRC, is phenomenal!
Did you know that his guitar at the Opry was his grandfathers? His grandfather had always wanted to play there and life got in the way. That’s Big Red
I discovered Marcus King and his band and honestly a lot of the music I don’t like in my ear except for him and then one day I heard the granola freegoodbye Carolina and it is my wake up song every day. I am in love with that man truly cannot stop listening to his voice his tone in that guitar is just an extension of his heart🥰
Probably the best rendition of Goodbye Carolina out there.
Marcus is an amazing player with the kind of voice that come around once in a lifetime............such a fine talent.
I can't stop watching your videos. Your geniune enthusiasm for great music in general draws me in. Your love and respect for masters of the craft whether they are new or old is as authentic as your taste . Thank you so much for these windows into your passion. It's contagious.
the fact he goes back and forth between gripping the pick in his thumb and fingerpicking, to strumming with it is insane to me
Marcus King's vocal performance on this is so...stunning. I know he's a superb guitarist. To see them combined so well is moving. And your teaching style is so cool! It's light on my mind and you put each new chord in context. I was just watching for fun, but I'm going to bring a guitar next time. Thank you.
Don't think I've seen someone so passionate about the small details in a long time. Keep it up!
Yea he’s very into theory details. He does know his stuff.
MP stumbled back upon this. Love it. Your ability to pick stuff out of the blue is amazing on this one. From the arpeggios. to the funky chord voicings, great video sir!
What a wonderful breakdown of this KILLER performance with his eyes closed at that
Marcus King has that authenticity and soul that you just can’t fake.
This is such an innovative teaching format. It really brings everything together... technique, theory... and it's SO entertaining. Thanks!
I enjoy your enthusiasm about music. I am a 59 year old university student studying studio art and creative writing, but I am also a Visual Art, Writer, Musician, and Actor, and I really feel passionate about the arts.

So proud that Marcus is from the same little town as me. Best thing to ever come out of Greenville

Congratulations Creighton. And thank you Steve Watson.
Yea...ok. you are so relevant now.
@@michaelhowardrosskrh74 And you are... ?
Marcus went to my high school i love seeing him shine now way to go buddy
Just watching your reaction is so much fun AND you're a killer guitar player. :)
He's geeking out on Marcus King, and we're geeking out on him!!!
Every time I watch your videos, I get so much energy off of you. The way you react so passionately to the music comes through the screen into my soul and makes me want to delve deeper into theory, practice and jamming along. Great stuff man. Cheers
If Etta James and Joe Cocker had a red headed love child, it would be Marcus King
Maybe they did!
amalgamated Terry kath and Warren haynes , is how Joe Bonamassa put it...
His aunt was Janice Joplin
This is the first video I’ve seen from your channel and it’s amazing. So informative but not too much and I love how you’re not forcing a reaction or personality. You are genuinely passionate and excited about all of these subtleties. I love it!
I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this. The appreciation he has for every little second of Kings playing and how you can see his appreciation etched in every facial movement! Excellent!
"It puts the 'B' in "subtle". What a sick quote! I'm stealing that for sure.
You are as blown away as me can’t wait to meet & greet him an the band in Columbus Ohio !!! Thank you
He has GOT to watch molly tuttle’s cover towne’s white freightliner. Absolutely amazing flat picking
There's a channel (I think it's called Lessons With Marcel) that covers that recording. Specifically, he covers the techniques she uses.
Played with Marcus when he was 14 or 15 down in Macon at this lil juke joint. Always said , if this dude kept at it ? He'd be our Hendrix . He's there
New to the channel, I really like how you break it down, you are much more realistic than any other music channel, it’s kinda your “take” on it instead of trying to play note for note. Super awesome! Thanks
Im mainly a heavy metal guy, but marcus is the truth. Great voice, out of this world guitar skills, great song writing!
i've been using this channel to discover new artists to listen to. I think this one just made my shopping cart
I saw Marcus for the first time 4 years ago at a small club in Bethesda MD. He is the best young guitar player I have seen in years. Couple that with the voice and the writing and it's the trifecta.

Where in Bethesda? The old cinema draft house?
Marcus King is the real deal. Great videos man. Well done
101 Guitar Lessons thank you!!!
I love marcus king. Saw him a couple years ago with tedescki trucks band and it was quite possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
The way you explain theory and contextualize it with the song is so helpful.
Watching this guys videos just make me feel good about life. Think I'll start watching them in the morning and have a great day.
I watch Michael's videos but slowly find myself grasping theory from him. I am very much a low intermediate but low watching his genuine reactions to great music.

There you go!!!!
One of my favorite Marcus King songs, Dude is a Beast.
Marcus is one of those guys that you can listen to over and over and just pick new stuff out every time. He’s just a monster player and a fretboard genius.
Here's the insane thing about him. He's only like 23 years old. He's a phenom! But he's only going to get better!
He’s 28 and his dad is also a musician go listen to Jam in the van Marcus king Rita is gone then he was younger and he’s amazing for sure bin a fan for years also he does a solo in a song with Jamie Johnson and the chicken Fried guy 😂👍
There’s a video of him playing at Norman’s Rare guitars when he was young
Your "stank face" says it all!!!! The way Marcus King "lets it breathe" and doesn't rush it or abide by anyone else's time is KILLER!
He's like a kid opening a present they didn't expect .
Glad we got to see this live in Baltimore a few weeks back! Appreciate you and this lesson
Marcus is amazing. Thank you for this video.
Tons of great insight into what Marcus king dose as a blues player, he’s brilliant and so is Michael explaining all of this stuff, I really wish I could take lessons from someone like Michael as a left handed guitar player it might be a tiny bit tricky but I know I would learn a ton from this guy. GREAT video!!!
I love how Marcus brings out the excitement and passion of Michael. Great vid
Do we watch to learn, or just for Michael’s reactions? The best faces. Educational and entertaining as hell!
for sure. Roll the Bones was thoroughly enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Love it. MK is the real deal. His sincerity makes the music.
Saw Marcus King play an 800 seatet in Paris about 12 weeks ago. Guy is a monster.
I've been lucky enough to see Marcus King open for Derek Trucks and TTB twice now, and both times were incredible! This is probably my favorite song by him, just stunning and gorgeous!
I'm very impressed with this young Man! And I'm counting on greatness as he matures! He's quite amazing for someone in their mid-twenties?...
Loved how you started jamming along! So bloody good
I subscribed! Great video! I do play, and admire your ear, and how quick you pickup what Marcus is doing. It's also refreshing to see that, like myself, you aren't having to learn it note for note, but rather capture the essence and make it your own. I love to see talented players like yourself getting excited, and inspired by other players. Looking forward to more videos.
Got to see Marcus here in oz a few years back, absolutely incredible, if you get the chance to see him, do it.
Putting the “b” in subtle... aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnd SUBSCRIBED!!!
Watching these for a few months now, bought my first electric guitar in over 15 years. Just had an acoustic for on the road. Much love
Man it’d be so cool to see you break down what John Mayer does on his live acoustic performance of Olivia. Love your channel and hope you keep it up
Your love for music is infectious!
Michael, you know so much more than I ever will.... I love your videos.
marcus king is a legend in the making 8)

your show is simply amazing thanks for the time you put into these shows
You're a great teacher. This is the kind of theory I need to elevate my game. I've done the hours of scales and chords, I just need to make it all slow down in my head like it does for you. I can't just look at the guy playing and pick the chords out of the progression. I've been too loose with my training.
He was playing on a normal rare guitar video a few years back. It's cool to see him getting out there. He may never be a billboard topper but I see him being around a long long time

Marcus is my good good buddy from back in the day. Love you Marcus brotha
309k now. This reaction video turned me onto MK a year ago. Saw him last night In Wilmington, DE. Brilliant show. Thanks Michael
