The humility and ease Michael has with pointing out his mistakes in front of a lot of people is the best lesson. My expectations of myself are too high and I'm way too hard on myself. It was also nice to see the pure joy of playing music with other musicians.
My favorite video of yours so far! I learned more about playing live from this video than just about anything else I've seen. Thank you for the honest and genuine breakdown, it was awesome!
That's awesome! What a cool experience. Daniel seems like a super nice guy and it was fun to watch him smile, react, and play around. This is a great lesson (from all of you guys) about listening to what's going on around you and adapting. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Michael-please keep doing these!!! I love watching you watch yourself play and break down exactly what and WHY you are doing things-I have learned so much from the two vids you have put out like this. Amazing stuff and thank you!!
Love this video, Michael! Your honesty about your playing and your thought process during this song are just so cool. Daniel is an absolute BOSS and he was quite gracious to hang back and let you take so many leads! What a generous, and humble move on his part. Such a mature player to be so young. Us musicians are our own worst critics, but you kicked a$$ up there! This was by far one of my favorite videos you’ve done yet! Thanks 🙏
What a humbling and exhilarating feeling out there with those guys. You held your own and it appeared all had a great time with it! Thanks for your review and commentary...loved it!
15.23 in and im at home grooving hooked on every note and it hits me these guys are going weightless..going to carry on watching because this is fantastic.
Michael, much respect for the honest assessment of your own playing. I personally know what it's like playing with musicians that play several times a week, and I haven't been doing the same. Keep jamming with others. You will get there. Best! 💚🎸
I like the self critique about 3/4s of the way through the most. Its a great class on 'how to play WITH a band, not AGAINST them.' That is such an underrated skill set to have, perhaps even more than how WELL you can play, because it requires you to listen to not just yourself, but be aware to listen everyone else too, in real time.
Man such a great jam! You are obviously in the moment jammin! We Love what you do Mike, love the self analysis aspect….. so great to hear a real musicians thoughts about a performance……And I will say Heyooooo to Daniel D and the cosmic crew today for sure!
The thing i love most about your videos is your humbleness. You keep being in awe of other players and never feel the need of comparing yourself to other players. You are one cool dude , a real inspiration !
I follow DD and was so excited you were sitting in with them. One of the hardest workin' guys in show business. Not only loving that you sat in, but YOU TOOK US WITH YOU. 🌝. And did us proud. 👍. I am not watching and commenting as much because I am *keeping it in my hands and playing every day!!* I tell every one in our ukulele classes that that is the rule. Thank you for everything you share, love to you and the family. 💕🙋🎶
Mike this video is just incredible, generous, insightful and a pleasure to experience what's going through your mind. Love this channel hope to see you live one day! I'm in not to far dc
What a great humble walk-thru. I feel like I’ve learned so much from your experience. Thanks for sharing this in the way you did. Love the thought process. Inspiring.
You ARE AWESOME Mike !! Yep, I'm totally reading Daniel's face, now I'm gonna be checking out facial expressions !!! All the time !! They go rhythmic, you go melodic..and vice versa..
Thanks for sharing this! It's always super fun to jam with new bands and try to read how they play. It's just a bunch of emotion when it either goes right.... or super wrong! hahaha Also, I actually laughed out loud when you said "I'm tired" because I 100% understand.
OMG….this is SO amazing! SO helpful for understanding….If you’ve never been in a band…to have you tell us directly what was happening is BEYOND cool, BEYOND educational….. and i think I said this the last time you did this….that old saying “those that can do - those that can’t teach” DOES NOT APPLY TO MICHAEL P!!!!!! YOU ARE A BAD ASS! Thank you for sharing with all of us!
I love how hard you are on yourself while it’s over the top there’s a lot of up and coming and established players need to hear shit like “if you aren’t playing something anyones gonna remember stop” and you are absolutely right now one player should be over or above the band and the song as a whole.
Yep....DD is a complete monster player. I've watched his videos from when he was just a kid playing on the streets in Nashville and then he became the lead guitar player for the Don Kelley Band when he was still just a kid.
Just stopping in to say I love seeing improv work like this. Playing with a band with only a base knowledge of the set is just about the most fun way to do it. Also, didn’t read all 200+ comments to see whether or not somebody else had pointed it out, but that looks like a Brent Mason signature tele
Not sure if I've commented or not yet bc I've watched this 3x now, but my gosh its so cool to hear someone break down whats going on in their head on stage! Thanks for this video!!
I love when you review your own songs! You show us how to perform like a musician, not just play guitar. It would be even cooler if the other guitarist reviewed it with you. Cheers Mike, happy Friday!
love the feeling of sharing a recorded jam session (that I was a part of) with others who love music. The smile on your face as you listen says it all.
This was so cool! Loved seeing you play! Love DD. Spent my 40th birthday with him at Roberts in Nashville (I was in the audience though). Another great vid.
Anyone else watch this channel and just thankful that Michael is able to teach us this awesome shit? improved my playing alot just from watching these vids. Thanks mate
Love this video. I got to see DD and Cosmic Country twice on this swing! I think you were playing his Brent Mason signature Tele.... That was a great performance - thanks for sharing, and the breakdown of your perspective.
Michael, I am new to this channel. I want to say thank you so much for your thoroughly,detailed explanations. You are also gifted with communication as well as music. By far the best at breaking down the moments!💯👍✌️❤️😎
You did great man. People who have never gigged regularly it’s as hard as he’s saying to keep your chops up compared to a band who plays nightly or multiple times a week. They are on another level as a band and musically.
Fantastic job imo from someone whos heard this track more than a few times :) You prefer to enhance the music be it dynamics or as you said melody and what not rather than brawl it out. Chapeau great moves, choices, and great timing so much fun👏great job great performance. Classy and cool to feature this cover too and hashtag #👍since radio city and other great music moments lots of good vibes, hope you feature more great sit ins :)
I watched a few of your videos along the way, but the last couple years I’ve really gotten into the Grateful Dead and so enjoyed your breakdowns. Thank you for sharing so much.
If there's anything a musician is, it's musical, and you're that all the way through. So beautiful to see how you communicate with a group musically, these things really move my intrigue as a younger player, god I want to reach that level someday (I bet you felt the same way with my age haha).
Dude! As a new musician, i picked up the bass last year out of necessity for my band and hadn't played before. We played 40 shows last year. I love these breakdowns! It helps so much!
This is one of those most amazing videos ! One where If I knew all this stuff when I play it would freak me out and my mind would crap the sheets and it's game over.However seeing you having the time of your Life and understanding every nuance of every note in real time and enjoying all of it.I am all but speachless ! Bravo !!!!!!!!! What a great player and Brilliant person too.Cheers Mate :>)
First, awesome video and commentary. Really appreciate the authenticity you bring. Second, thank you for introducing my ears to Daniel Donato’s music! Hoping he can eventually make it out to the Pacific Northwest.
Fantastic. Thank you for the honesty and… your willingness to be vulnerable. My moonshot is being able to do this (at a much lower level). This kind of thing is such a great educating. Keep it up, brother.
LOVED IT MICHAEL, I THINK IT TOTALLY SUPPORTS YOUR TEACHING APPROACH! One can't just learn parts and solos, ya got to hear the melody and feel the rhythm, talk musically in real time. Smile and play on man!!
I’ll say the Humphreys video was very helpful to me when I found myself in a cover band situation with 3 guitar players. I took a lot of your advice and played in different positions, used a very mid heavy tone, hung back/dropped out sometimes, and it really worked well! Thanks.
Your react videos are great but these ones are on a whole different level - they're a great insider view into how to think about playing music and approach viewing the chords and target notes in a complete way. I learn much more from these than the react ones as noone else on RUclips does these type of videos. Best part of this video is the sheer delight on your face whilst your playing! I'd be terrified 😂
Went to High school with Daniel! He’s a great guy with some lightning fast fingers! Awesome to see him prosper as his passion was evident from the very beginning!
Wow!! You are human!!🤣🤣🤣🛠💰🛠💰🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇✨✨✨✨✨🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 Great video,... Thank you!! I feel like,.. I have to get out of my room and go play guitar with friends!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✨
Improvisation and live performance has always been my thing. When I was like 9 years old my piano teacher (yeah I started on piano, switched to guitar at age 16) put me in a recital and didn't tell me til 3 days before! AND I played a complex piece by Strauss, the most difficult piece played by anyone in the whole night. I went up and threw DOWN. Nailed it note for note! Until the middle section. My hands were raised to come crashing down on the piano...and I forgot. The whole. Song. For-effn-GOT! There was a pregnant pause, long enough to send whispers through the audience. During that time something changed in me, or maybe a flow regulator broke, a governor failed. I looked at the audience and grinned. Almost sneered! Then my hands came crashing back down and I proceeded to totally make shit up for almost two minutes before the memory of the end of the tune came back and I finished. God that was glorious. I never felt anything like it, like being utterly LIT on the creative power that builds universes. It was such joy! I got a standing O. Had to come out and take a second bow. My piano teacher just looked at me and said, "how the hell....what the...where did _that_ come from?" I had improvised two minutes of Strauss that were never in anything he ever wrote, and the audience loved it. My performance was good, but when it went where it went, it just murdered that audience. Put em on their backs with their feet up in the air. Why tell you all this? Well, because I've been improvising for 40 years. And what I saw and heard you do in this video was lead a whole incredibly great band through a complex 15 minute improvisational masterpiece. That band is _God_ , man, I'm telling ya...their tempo changes, the way they all threw phrases and motifs around, how they all listened...dude, a band like that, and you're the one who introduced the changes they then implemented. I'm not negating your self analysis, to do so would be arrogance personified. But what the moments you describe, where they led... what I am saying is that all your OH NO I BLEW MY MOJO TOO SOON, all that is part of what made this work. To me the best improvisations have peaks and valleys, rise and fall and rise again dynamics that were crucial to keeping this interesting. Plus, your sheer joy at being there and getting to do this awesome thing. The shouts and cheers of the audience at the end prove that you done did a good thing lol. Great stuff. GREAT stuff!
Kudos for having the guts to try a bender in that situation. I have a tele with a Bigsby and bought a B blender. It was a great intro to benders. Grabbing the tremolo bar to bend isn’t as easy as pulling the strap so, I bought that Mason tele for the B bender. If you have a Bigsby, I highly recommend the B Blender. It’s a great cheap alternative to getting an actual bender installed.
Wow, enjoyed this one immensely for several reasons: I recently discovered "the Don Kelley Band" and all of that legacy that goes with that - so there's a lot to mine from just that; that is how I discovered Daniel ( and several others, of course). So. Michael showcasing Daniel, for me, is just fantastic serendipitous timing. Then the analysis of this by Michael was fascinating. I will be honest, the first live performance I watched of Donato was not good for me - his unconventional vocal range was not working for me, but he's improved since that performance, individually and he's wisely added a backup singer that compliments his unusual voice. So hey, I just put myself in Grateful Dead space (a band DD loves), and just groove to the fantastic songs and hippy vibe, lol . And then from '36 to '38, Michael really summarizes beautifully what I just watched. I appreciate Michael being vulnerable and transparent, bringing us along in the spirit of teaching and just sharing in the experience. Very cool and fun video!

Great thanks. What amp do you use with the prs at the start of this review.
THE MOST COSMIC GUITAR GATE VIDEO YET! The train has just begun. Thanks, Mike! - DD
Yeehaw!!
Yessir!
Rock n roll!
🤠🤠
I watched this 5 timez!
The humility and ease Michael has with pointing out his mistakes in front of a lot of people is the best lesson. My expectations of myself are too high and I'm way too hard on myself.
It was also nice to see the pure joy of playing music with other musicians.
7:03 "These guys tour all the time! I'm *in this room* all the time." 😂 cracked me up! hit nail on the head re: 🎸creator lifestyle
My favorite video of yours so far! I learned more about playing live from this video than just about anything else I've seen. Thank you for the honest and genuine breakdown, it was awesome!
Thanks so much Eric!
What a wild claim..lol
I'm just learning guitar, and I agree! If I may.💯👍
That's awesome! What a cool experience. Daniel seems like a super nice guy and it was fun to watch him smile, react, and play around. This is a great lesson (from all of you guys) about listening to what's going on around you and adapting. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
That’s it!!
Thank you for your example of a life, lived well. Courage and joy, love and excitement, honesty and humor. Shine on. 💖
To share your stage with someone else requires, I think that you'd be both good and generous. Daniel is both of these
Fact!
Michael, it looks like you are an incredibly talented and humble man! Thanks for being an educator! The world needs it
Michael-please keep doing these!!! I love watching you watch yourself play and break down exactly what and WHY you are doing things-I have learned so much from the two vids you have put out like this. Amazing stuff and thank you!!
These videos are seriously 10/10. I love seeing you explain your thought process and choices on stage.
Love this video, Michael! Your honesty about your playing and your thought process during this song are just so cool. Daniel is an absolute BOSS and he was quite gracious to hang back and let you take so many leads! What a generous, and humble move on his part. Such a mature player to be so young.

great Michael!
I can imagine how much you enjoyed it. 90% of all of us just dream to be able to reach this level. Congrats!!
Michael, your love of all things musical is truly inspiring. Fantastic job both with this review and with your performance. Really great stuff!!
I like how restrained and tasteful your playing is here, I think you captured the spirit of their song successfully.
What a humbling and exhilarating feeling out there with those guys. You held your own and it appeared all had a great time with it! Thanks for your review and commentary...loved it!
good god. that's the first time i've seen you rip!!
so musical, so... so... 🔥!!!
wow. just. wow.
How cool was that! What an experience. Daniel is a real Uber talent and you were definitely not out of place in this.
Awesome stuff Michael. I’m not a guitar player myself but really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the play by play. I had no idea you pros are communicating so much on stage.
15.23 in and im at home grooving hooked on every note and it hits me these guys are going weightless..going to carry on watching because this is fantastic.
Michael, much respect for the honest assessment of your own playing. I personally know what it's like playing with musicians that play several times a week, and I haven't been doing the same. Keep jamming with others. You will get there. Best! 💚🎸

I just saw Daniel play with Phil Lesh and Friends last night. I didn't know him before the show and I'm an inatant fan. He's incredible!
Man such a great jam! You are obviously in the moment jammin! We Love what you do Mike, love the self analysis aspect….. so great to hear a real musicians thoughts about a performance……And I will say Heyooooo to Daniel D and the cosmic crew today for sure!
The thing i love most about your videos is your humbleness. You keep being in awe of other players and never feel the need of comparing yourself to other players. You are one cool dude , a real inspiration !

this is a deep dive into on-stage communication. As a guitar noodler of 20 years (by myself at home), this is *FASCINATING*! Thank you Michael
Glad you enjoyed it!
Michael, Your a good man , something you don’t see very much these days. You are an inspiration . Thanks so much!!!
Thank you Ross!
I love when you review your own songs! You show us how to perform like a musician, not just play guitar. It would be even cooler if the other guitarist reviewed it with you. Cheers Mike, happy Friday!
Thanks for breaking that down for us with little musical knowledge. You sounded great. Daniel and his band are incredible.
That's awesome!! I love this kind of video! So much to learn from this!
What a great video - so glad I recently found this channel!
love the feeling of sharing a recorded jam session (that I was a part of) with others who love music. The smile on your face as you listen says it all.
So cool to see you having a ball just rocking out with an awesome band... Wtg Mike
This was so cool! Loved seeing you play! Love DD. Spent my 40th birthday with him at Roberts in Nashville (I was in the audience though). Another great vid.
Loved watching you perform with Daniel Donato here Michael!! This was great!!
Saw Dan and the band in Knoxville twice Saturday (5/14). They are super nice, humble, and COSMIC….fixing to blow up! Love the video man.
Truth! Thx!
Anyone else watch this channel and just thankful that Michael is able to teach us this awesome shit? improved my playing alot just from watching these vids. Thanks mate

Damn thats awesome! I think that's a Brent Mason Tele, I'd love to see a video on him
You did great man. People who have never gigged regularly it’s as hard as he’s saying to keep your chops up compared to a band who plays nightly or multiple times a week. They are on another level as a band and musically.

After watching this Video my wife and I will catch his show in WI on June 22. Thanks!
If there's anything a musician is, it's musical, and you're that all the way through. So beautiful to see how you communicate with a group musically, these things really move my intrigue as a younger player, god I want to reach that level someday (I bet you felt the same way with my age haha).
Oh man that was a rollercoaster for sure! You all were really rippin !!
Had the pleasure of seeing cosmic country in hobart indiana, small club, first dd show. Mind was blown cant wait to see him again
Still watching from FL. Keep our neighbors just south of us in your prayers.
Dude! As a new musician, i picked up the bass last year out of necessity for my band and hadn't played before. We played 40 shows last year. I love these breakdowns! It helps so much!
That’s why Michael is so good at what he does.. he’s not afraid to seize the opportunity, make mistakes, learn, share and inspire. Bravo!
This is one of those most amazing videos ! One where If I knew all this stuff when I play it would freak me out and my mind would crap the sheets and it's game over.However seeing you having the time of your Life and understanding every nuance of every note in real time and enjoying all of it.I am all but speachless !

First, awesome video and commentary. Really appreciate the authenticity you bring. Second, thank you for introducing my ears to Daniel Donato’s music! Hoping he can eventually make it out to the Pacific Northwest.
Thx matt!
Fantastic. Thank you for the honesty and… your willingness to be vulnerable. My moonshot is being able to do this (at a much lower level). This kind of thing is such a great educating. Keep it up, brother.
Thanks will! You can do it!
your humble and charismatic nature has compelled me to subscribe you.
LOVED IT MICHAEL, I THINK IT TOTALLY SUPPORTS YOUR TEACHING APPROACH! One can't just learn parts and solos, ya got to hear the melody and feel the rhythm, talk musically in real time. Smile and play on man!!
Thank you Steve!!
I’ll say the Humphreys video was very helpful to me when I found myself in a cover band situation with 3 guitar players. I took a lot of your advice and played in different positions, used a very mid heavy tone, hung back/dropped out sometimes, and it really worked well! Thanks.
Great walkthrough with some excellent lessons in communication!
Your react videos are great but these ones are on a whole different level - they're a great insider view into how to think about playing music and approach viewing the chords and target notes in a complete way. I learn much more from these than the react ones as noone else on RUclips does these type of videos. Best part of this video is the sheer delight on your face whilst your playing! I'd be terrified 😂
Went to High school with Daniel! He’s a great guy with some lightning fast fingers! Awesome to see him prosper as his passion was evident from the very beginning!
Wow!! You are human!!🤣🤣🤣🛠💰🛠💰🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇✨✨✨✨✨🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 Great video,... Thank you!! I feel like,.. I have to get out of my room and go play guitar with friends!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✨
Chops and humility!! That was a legendary analysis by a true gent of the music business
What a joy to watch listen and learn!!
Improvisation and live performance has always been my thing. When I was like 9 years old my piano teacher (yeah I started on piano, switched to guitar at age 16) put me in a recital and didn't tell me til 3 days before! AND I played a complex piece by Strauss, the most difficult piece played by anyone in the whole night.
I went up and threw DOWN. Nailed it note for note!
Until the middle section. My hands were raised to come crashing down on the piano...and I forgot. The whole.
Song. For-effn-GOT!
There was a pregnant pause, long enough to send whispers through the audience. During that time something changed in me, or maybe a flow regulator broke, a governor failed.
I looked at the audience and grinned. Almost sneered! Then my hands came crashing back down and I proceeded to totally make shit up for almost two minutes before the memory of the end of the tune came back and I finished.
God that was glorious. I never felt anything like it, like being utterly LIT on the creative power that builds universes. It was such joy!
I got a standing O. Had to come out and take a second bow. My piano teacher just looked at me and said, "how the hell....what the...where did _that_ come from?"
I had improvised two minutes of Strauss that were never in anything he ever wrote, and the audience loved it. My performance was good, but when it went where it went, it just murdered that audience. Put em on their backs with their feet up in the air.
Why tell you all this? Well, because I've been improvising for 40 years. And what I saw and heard you do in this video was lead a whole incredibly great band through a complex 15 minute improvisational masterpiece. That band is _God_ , man, I'm telling ya...their tempo changes, the way they all threw phrases and motifs around, how they all listened...dude, a band like that, and you're the one who introduced the changes they then implemented.
I'm not negating your self analysis, to do so would be arrogance personified. But what the moments you describe, where they led... what I am saying is that all your OH NO I BLEW MY MOJO TOO SOON, all that is part of what made this work. To me the best improvisations have peaks and valleys, rise and fall and rise again dynamics that were crucial to keeping this interesting. Plus, your sheer joy at being there and getting to do this awesome thing.
The shouts and cheers of the audience at the end prove that you done did a good thing lol. Great stuff. GREAT stuff!
Pretty cool man! Those guys rip and good for you to mix it up with them. Back on the Train is such a killer Phish tune taboot!
Damn I wish I could have been there. Killer song choice. Such a great video.
Very excellent. Learnin lots here. Thank you!
Nice jam Michael! Thanks for sharing your experience and insight.
Kudos for having the guts to try a bender in that situation. I have a tele with a Bigsby and bought a B blender. It was a great intro to benders. Grabbing the tremolo bar to bend isn’t as easy as pulling the strap so, I bought that Mason tele for the B bender. If you have a Bigsby, I highly recommend the B Blender. It’s a great cheap alternative to getting an actual bender installed.
That was a great video. I’m a beginner and this is very inspirational. Thank you
Just seeing the joy in your eyes. It's what live music is all about!
I'm in Teton Village tonight on a road trip. Daniel Donato is playing at the Mangy Moose and I'm going because of this video
Great performance, great video and reaction to your own playing! Enjoyed it all GT
Thanks brother!!
So proud of you, Michael. Pure joy!
Thanks Thomas!!!
Awesome content Michael! Thank you........ Felt good to get out Yah.....
Great playing and breakdown. What a cool opportunity!
Glad ya had fun man. Good stuff
Sounds awesome! Kudos to everyone up there!
Thanks a lot Michael! You are greatt
Fantastic breakdown. So informative.
WOW! Fantastic Danny is such a talent and it's great you were able to do this🔥🤪
Just the thought of playing a tele live with no pedals scares me - loved the video and great playing, hope we see more like it soon!
I love your joy, Michael !!!
That was so cool. Much respect Michael!
So cool. Not sure how I missed this upload. Donato can play that thang.
Wow, enjoyed this one immensely for several reasons: I recently discovered "the Don Kelley Band" and all of that legacy that goes with that - so there's a lot to mine from just that; that is how I discovered Daniel ( and several others, of course).

Awesome mike had to subscribe. My dog won’t let me chat anymore. U sounded great. U still got chops my friend!!
I thought you were totally on point, Michael. Your style complemented Daniel’s playing really well. Loved it- sorry I wasn’t there! 🔥🎸🐶
Good stuff, Michael!
