Please let me know when you can I want to buy myself one I have been dying to get the perfect PRS to complete my set of guitars I always have my Southern Belle Telecaster, Gibson 1960 Les Paul, Gibson Explorer and a Mexican Byllet series strat... I am dying to buy that guitar please let me know what it is. Thank you
Mark is one of the most exciting new guitarists I have heard in past decade. Not to mention the band is amazing. The more you listen the better it gets, especially trying to play his style. He has a very vocal, melody driven style to his playing.
Missing my late father on his birthday, after closing my restaurant a few years ago, I had the tunes going. This song came on in the background, catching my attention, I was stopped in my tracks of thinking about the old man. I was so drawn to this new song. My Dad was born August 10, 1947. I love you Dad.
Discovering Khruangbin is the highlight of 2020 for me. Something different outside of what I normally listen to and they have such a tight rhythmic groove. I have to thank my sister who lives in Austin for suggesting this Houston band to me and my siblings. She plays Khruangbin to her one year old daughter!😁😁 Great video Michael and keep up the great work!!🎸🎸🎸
Michael, your passion and thirst for knowledge are contagious. Finding your channel a few weeks ago reignited my desire to get better at guitar which had pretty much fizzled out a few years ago. Thanks again dude !
Michael..Great song and I'm glad your taking a look at Khraungbin. The secret to knowing this song is learning the bass line first. This is a strict tempo song. Mark is actually starting with an A triad and flating the B min on the bass tempo. At the beginning, after this A triad he falls back to a G triad and does the same by flatting the A min with his ring finger and pinky. I've watched Mark Speers play this many times. He then goes down to the 10th and the 9th fret and plays two more triad shapes resolving back to his original intro riff. Mark is from Houston Texas so you really can hear that influence, plus a ton of old 70s Asian funk. Mark rarely uses a pick, and also usually always uses a full bar chord shape, finger picking (a la Jeff Beck) melody notes. His fills are usually always arpeggios with a few notes outside the box. I've learned many of Khraungbin's songs on guitar (I started playing in 74..I'm 61) This being live. Mark ventures out and ad libs a bit. Nice video brother. Great song by one of today's best bands. ✌
So cool man, great video. Crazy to watch your brain work. Mind blowing how effortlessly knowledgeable you are about music theory. It’s August 10 and Khruangbin is one of my favorite bands so I’m cruising through YT videos of that song and found this. Thoroughly enjoyable
Not quite. Laura was the one who suggested starting a band after being on tour with Mark as bassist for Yppah. He did help her learn bass in order to get the Yppah gig.
@@ljanzen31 wrong watch any interview she was askes and had never played so learnt t play bass by learning one album a dub album by the scientist. Ra Denney is correct very easy to confirm
Aw man, I’ve been wanting you to watch Khruangbin forever. This song is awesome but it would’ve been so cool for you to also see Dern Kala, the song before this one in the set. Awesome song and the transition to this one is so dope
I was watching an interview and Mark was saying that he doesn't have to worry about the root bc Laura has that covered. He's covering everything else. It cool to see that in action. There must be so much trust between the three of them to know that they don't have to worry about the other members. Really cool.

In my last house, I framed out a small lounge/tv room in the attic.. it had a big screen, cool lighting, and a couple cloth bean-bag chairs. The only way to get to it, was from the rock wall I made in the corner of the kitchen. I made a bunch of holes in the wood sheets, so I could make different climbing routes.. had 2 ceiling anchors for rope, so I could swing around from my harness. I had 2 holds positioned over a large walkway for pull-ups. It was a fun way to exercise and work out. I definitely miss it! I'm sure your kiddos will love it! Oh yeah.. cool song review. Haha. Sending peace & love from Missouri -Todd
"Inside ... on the drywall," probably the greatest video opening in history. I was hooked! Keep the videos coming! BTW, no need to say ... but lots of strong wall anchors.
the guitarist also plays with a wah pedal all the way forward all the time. saw that on a rig rundown a while back. I can't believe im foregetting his name
The guitarist loves looking into the way guitar and music is played in other countries. He applies it to the sound of Khru and makes it heavenly ear food!
I hear a lot of eastern tones in his playing. He does it so well I even thought he had his guitar modified with microtonal frets. Nope, just a really good player.
In regards to watching musicians and their internal subdivisions, that's my favorite part of watching live music as well. Literally seeing how music flows through someone creating it. Like a feedback loop of sorts. Also love seeing musician interactions, or how they react to a specific part of a song, an improvisation. As someone who has gigged, I can tell you that I too live for those moments.
Khruangbin is the band we all want to be in. Mark Speer is the guitarist we all wanted to be when we started playing until we drowned in cliche and mindless repetition. The guy is just a genius.
Great analysis amigo! It’s spot on and My fav so far! I love when you shed bias and get into it - your instincts are spot on - Reggae but not, modal but not! To me it gets to the core of their essence. This is a great example of playing over chords and really telling their story melodically. The live analysis of the bass and drummer at the end is great to appreciate as well. But the best part of this video? You are about to embrace the notion of your kids literally climbing the walls - as parental advise it’s Gold - If your kids are climbing the walls, give them handles 😉 that’s boss level.
Best of luck with the rock climbing wall installation for Christmas 😊 I'm going to join over at guitargate after Christmas, looking forward to it, cant wait to start the lessons! 👌
Usually when they play this live they tease Night Nurse by Gregory Issacs and police in helicopter by John holt. He goes straight to reggae chops from Bm to A. He only does a second of it in this.
@@ach3138 Yup totally. Also they said they draw alot of inspiration from thai looktoong music which is kinda cool. Never heard of them till i saw this video though and was like..thats a thai word lol and looked them up
Thanks, Michael! OG viewer here. Love the 'all in, all education, all the time' approach you have now made famous! Cracks me up with the honest post-edit you threw in about your mistake! Still gave it your full attention and detail! Thank you. Great stuff, regardless!

Forget the reggae/rock steady idea. Understanding Khuangbin’s schtick requires a minimal background in the Molam music of Thailand. That is where Mark Speer is getting his concepts for using the 9s and trills in the minor aspect of the piece. 🤙🏼🖖🏼
Doesn’t matter that he’s unaware of Khruangbin’s Thai music roots. He’s exploring a form of music he doesn’t normally listen to ( as he admits in the beginning ) from a musicians perspective . If he hears a reggae influence ( and you must know that Khruangbin are also influenced by dub reggae records as well...Lee and Spears reference them constantly in interviews ) that’s fine. It’s not just an academic exercise or about” getting it right”. A different perspective ( even if it appears “wrong”to those of us who are already invested in the band ) especially a real musicians is cool.
@@kyoaty how do you know Speers isn’t also exploring / utilizing dub reggae sources for the same effect? Is it because you read Thai funk was the Wikipedia description? Not denying there is an influence but don’t write off the dub reggae importance
There is a vid of them performing a medley of hip hop tracks that is simply fantastic. They are a great live act and when touring begins in 2021 , I highly recommend you grab a ticket and check them out. And the EP they released with Leon Bridges called TEXAS SUN is a perfect Sunday morning album.
The drummer also plays the keyboard, it’s behind him; and those are wigs. Check out when they have Leon Bridges singing with them. She’s really a relative beginner on the bass.
It just works. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just go to the top music schools and find the best music? Somehow it never works out that way. Excellence is where you find it.
At Lockn 2019, the first day it rained and stormed all day. The festival wasn't even allowed to open the gates until like 7:00pm. A lot of bands got bumped off the show. Skies cleared and it was a gorgeous night with Khruangbin opening the fest at 8:00 at night with Trey sitting in. Next was a full set by Gary Clark and then 2 sets of JRAD. Lockn totally salvaged what looked like a lost day when it was raining sideways earlier in the day.
That festival was great for them. First time I saw Khruangbin was the late night woods stage at Lockn in 2015 maybe (little cloudy on the year but that’s close). They blew me away. My buddy was hammered and half asleep against a tree but I was absolutely loving it. There was maybe 300-400 people there in the woods starting around 1230am. It was magic. I’ve been obsessed ever since.
Great playing that's so moving! As a guitar composer for book trailers about comics seeking inspiration, I like your breakdown and modeling of music with that nice full tone. Cheers!
Hey Michael, I love your channel. I have found some amazing artists because of these reaction videos. I have never commented on a YT video before, but I have always wanted to suggest you do something from Khruangbin, Tom Misch, FKJ, or even Tash Sultana and to see that you are doing a Khruangbin video I just got so excited and instantly had to click to hear you breakdown one of my favorite groups. I would love if you ever got around to doing more of their stuff, or from any of the other artists I mentioned above because I genuinely think you would enjoy them if you have not listened to already. Keep doing what you're doing, we all appreciate it, and you tremendously!
Moving firewood in the snow is good for you. It’s really good for your cold family.....I know that you know all of that. Thanks for all you do You are a great teacher I’ve learned a lot from this channel. I’ve got the image a beautiful glowing fireplace ,snow outside on Christmas morning and a happy family enjoying it all . I know it’s a music channel but you just painted a picture. Aloha
first, awesome video - it's great to have breakdowns like this for quick study that illustrate the theory fundamentals (relative major/minors, triads, the jedi powers of the maj7) with a little zest on the side (i.e. the discussion of modality) so that people can take what they want or what they are ready for and then get back to making pretty noises with their tone tools of choice - I think there's a great temptation for the "thoroughly initiated" theory nerds to go way off the deep end with analysis, like it's some kind of [male anatomy]-measuring contest or something, and when that's joe schmoe's only real exposure to theory, of course he's gonna grow up a skeptic of "all that mumbo jumbo." With approachable instruction, people are magnetized toward the theory. It gives them a language and a structure to speak in the emotive power of music, and that's super powerful. At least , I think it is. Seconds of all, between your drywall-centric preamble and your repeated, enunciated use of the word "cool", your dad energy is str8 thru the roof on this recording. I bet you were wearing birkenstocks with high socks and cargo shorts. Your "cool" streak was probably leaking over to your cellular commmunications as well - I bet youve got *multiple* sent text messages from the day of this recording where you spell "cool" with intensely dad-esque variation, e.g. (kyuuu-well, kewehl, Q.L., etc.). I mean this with only the utmost respect and highest esteem.

A little known fact about Khruangbin; the Naval Observatory uses the drummer to calibrate atomic clocks.
What?!? Really? Do you have a link to a source? I want to see this!!!
Great sarcasm! or fact? I like both
@@selfalpha4997 Sarcasm to the max! lol But if you watch DJ in some live videos he is more of a machine than a metronome.

Agree 100%...Mark has the tastiest playing of any modern guitar player for me. He makes everyone else sound like boring 12th bar blues.

HAHA same
I got you beat. According to Spotify this was my number one band.
Samee August 10 , then Passing out Pieces by Mac Demarco

I just discovered them a day ago. I cannot get enough of their music. They are an absolute gift to people....
check also Rayowa....Parcels...Cory wong and Chromeo
Twas the year I discovered Steve Tibbetts.
The recording and mixing people for that performance are god-tier.
Mark Speer is the man and a huge inspiration in me picking up playing seriously again.
Seriously. My ideal version of my guitar playing is what Mark is able to do. Great goal to aim for.
Michael, your passion and thirst for knowledge are contagious. Finding your channel a few weeks ago reignited my desire to get better at guitar which had pretty much fizzled out a few years ago. Thanks again dude !

That is in-part because Laura Lee was studying Thai when she met Mark and DJ.

I’ve got the image a beautiful glowing fireplace ,snow outside on Christmas morning and a happy family enjoying it all . I know it’s a music channel but you just painted a picture. Aloha
They're really fun live.
Hell yeah. More khruangbin please.
Yes love this song, wish you could cover a bit of their song 'Maria Tambien' too, that guitar line is crazy!
Do Dern Kala - the jammiest jam of all time. The version on this same concert is better than the studio recording.
Came to say just this, and it is the song just before August 10.
Yes!
MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE
Plz, thanx
My hometown band 😌🤘🏽 I love Khruangbin
H-Town Love!!!!
Favourite baseline ever. In luv. Lockdown I House Cleaning hymn.
first, awesome video - it's great to have breakdowns like this for quick study that illustrate the theory fundamentals (relative major/minors, triads, the jedi powers of the maj7) with a little zest on the side (i.e. the discussion of modality) so that people can take what they want or what they are ready for and then get back to making pretty noises with their tone tools of choice - I think there's a great temptation for the "thoroughly initiated" theory nerds to go way off the deep end with analysis, like it's some kind of [male anatomy]-measuring contest or something, and when that's joe schmoe's only real exposure to theory, of course he's gonna grow up a skeptic of "all that mumbo jumbo." With approachable instruction, people are magnetized toward the theory. It gives them a language and a structure to speak in the emotive power of music, and that's super powerful. At least , I think it is.
Seconds of all, between your drywall-centric preamble and your repeated, enunciated use of the word "cool", your dad energy is str8 thru the roof on this recording. I bet you were wearing birkenstocks with high socks and cargo shorts. Your "cool" streak was probably leaking over to your cellular commmunications as well - I bet youve got *multiple* sent text messages from the day of this recording where you spell "cool" with intensely dad-esque variation, e.g. (kyuuu-well, kewehl, Q.L., etc.).
I mean this with only the utmost respect and highest esteem.
27:31 I know I need to grow tf up, but this made me giggle
Anyhow, thanks for another awesome vid Michael! And happy holidays :)
I’m learning as much about the bass here as I am about the guitar. Great video
Khruangbin is so great. People everywhere and pelota are my favourites. But tbh they have many great songs!
