The most relatable moment in this video is when Michael slams his headstock against his desk and brushes it off as if nothing happened.

But when he plays wrong and keeps playing it over to get it more better? There is no one else who does this, it is as entertaining as someone who has mastered his piece before the performance.

For the record, he's in B-Standard tuning playing 17 gauge strings. Mind blowing!

Mind blowing? Guitarrists in the early days of electric guitars used 18 gauge strings...In standard tuning. Guitars are designed to take way heavier gauges than what most people use. 17 gauge in B-standard will feel around the same as 11-12 in standard tuning.

Absolutely love this! This gig was in my hometown and I was lucky enough to be there for this. It was an otherworldly experience

I had to put on sunglasses to listen to that lead. Microwaved my face.

I’ve done a few recordings and gigs with Ariel back in the day, along with The Bros. Landreth. Awesome guy, awesome chops.

Awesome! I bet.

I used to go to Ariel Posen shows in Winnipeg back when i was just out of High School. So cool to see him blowing up these days. He has been amazing since i first saw him in mid 2000's, and just got so much better from there!

Now THAT is the way to finish a set! Ariel is a fire-breathing monster.

This seems like some truly next level improv work, great feeling for the moment. It's great to listen to a solo and have no idea where the artist might end up. Loved it.

Man I love Ariel! Little info about this, he’s in baritone tuning (B standard), and he’s playing 17-64 strings. I highly, highly recommend you check out the full version of the song, it’s such an incredible take on it. The familiar ground version is incredible. Much love Michael!

This guy Ariel Posen has an innate understanding of a buildup of great sounds hinting and teasing then climaxing. It's such a luxuriant treat for my ears and brain. The grungy guitar sound is reminiscent of one of the tracks in The Wall (PF 1979) Great analysis Mr guitar teacher

After I read your comment sir, I listened to this song again and thought to myself, wtf is this dude talking about? But since I am not one who is cut from common cloth, instead of making some ignorant misinformed comment to you I decided to listen to a couple of The Wall’s more hard hitting tracks, and well... If you were any more right about this, you’d be going left. I have it on factual files, it had been a few years since I listened to The Wall so I couldn’t catch the familiar vibes that Ariel is emanating! Hell yeah! Also, I agree. I’m so glad that YT recommended me Ariel, I do love me a scary talented six string picker. Or in this case, slider. First time hearing Angeline I was taken on a journey of harmonics. Dude is a legit maniac.

I've seen Ariel posen playing "bright music" like major blues with Josh Smith and Kirk Fletcher at NAMM... But this "dark music", the minor blues? He absolutely owns that pallette with a fury and passion. It is an Incendiary performance!

I’m never here this early but wow, Ariel is SICK! Watching you react to some of those runs is exactly how I felt watching it haha And HIS BAND. LOCKED IN

Your reaction as an accomplished technical player and an educated ear is a true delight, man. Also enjoy the hell out of your Althea Jerry/John comparative analysis so much...newly subscribed. Not to mention your Billy Strings... it’s all just so mind melting, THANKS!

Bar none, th most inspiring and exciting teacher I've ever had. If I can make the money happen I'll most definitely be among the others at GuitarGate, but for now, I learn more from you than anyone else as of late, and for that, my sincerest thankyous.

Love the algorithm got this to you,turn up in my feed last week and it made me think of your reacts videos!

same here man, Ariel never left any doubt on those Anderton's vids of his talent. Just good to see it utilized on stage.

damn michael, definitively digging what you do, the style of songs you're analysing, awesome

Name of the song is "Angeline" it on his latest live album

It’s an absolute conundrum that this dude isn’t bigger. Him and Joey bring such a unique approach to the guitar with the baritone tuning and incredible slide work, not to mention his killer voice! Always entertaining videos mike, thank you!

Every guitarist I've shown this video has the same reaction. This is a beautiful solo for sure

I have seen Ariel live twice and they were the two best gigs in my life. Amazing energy and pure talent. I think he might be an upcoming guitar hero of the new generation.

I must say for I cannot deny it. This solo is my most favorite of all time. The slow, voodoo, witchcraft vibe is straight nasty! His mix of Jazz chops with blues licks with that dirty slide....holy crap, man. Ariel is driving away everyone's demons with this one!

Wow, so glad i heard this, thanks. I feel your excitement, this is a new sound.

That came across my recommendations last night also! Pretty insane performance

I think this is the song one would listen to on a cold winter night outside with a drink

One of my all-time fave guitarists. Never afraid to make his own time and play the notes he wants. Always finds his way back.

Ariel is from Winnipeg. I remember watching him at the Kingshead pub playing in a funky cover band. He's great.

You are hands down the most entertaining/knowledgeable reaction guy out there for guitar on KZread!! 🙇

Mahalo for introducing this crazy solo to me!!!

The only lessons I pay for. They’re great. Awesome vid. Ariel is a beast.

Love Ariel! Saw him at the start of the year in Bristol (UK) just before we got locked down, it was incredible! Feeling it in the room was just the best

The first slide I bought is one of his brass bullets and it's kinda become my go-to slide. You also can never go wrong listening to this lad. I also gotta say, it's been a while since I saw you have to think so hard watching someone play!

great reaction to this Ariel video-you did a great job, I love the razor blades to the wall analogy!!! 🔥🔥

Yo Mike this guy is a force to be reckoned with.... I've been with you since the beginning and I seen this before but I'm just going back to some of your old stuff. Ariel is a goddamn monster

Yeah MAN! I was waiting for this

I have just stumbled upon your channel and WOW, I love it. I have watched so many of your videos today and I have found so many songs that I like. My favorite is Tyler Childers, Ive listened to his songs for awhile now and it has inspired me to learn the guitar. I have always wanted to learn. My two favorite songs of his are Feathered Indians and Charleston Girl. Charleston Girl is the song that got me into Tyler and I have loved his songs ever since. Keep up the great work and I will definitely be watching more of your videos!!!

This note in 1:59 is so damn beautifully placed...wow love it!!

I lost it at ‘holy shit.’ Love this video, thanks man

Just so everybody can have a good laugh for today + I learned slide by playing steel guitar, about 2 years after I started playing acoustic. So, in later life I stole one of my husband's sockets to use as a slide! Hey, works a lot better than the handle of a table knife!

First came across Ariel in a 'Pedal Show. feature and hooked aver since. So inventive, like a modern Jeff Beck to my mind. Killer dynamics and touch.

Holy effing shiiiit. That was everything that is cool about a guitar in a 3 piece. But daaaauumn. That bass and drummer... WOW. That burn the whole house down. Ariel Posen is amazing, but that whole band is so legit. Great video Michael, please excuse me I’m gonna go watch the whole thing.

This video made me sub. Great content.

when you were talking about the necessity of texture from the guitar in a 3 piece band it made me think of Khruangbin. you should react to them if you haven’t heard them yet 👍

He’s playing a baritone guitar.....love it

Love love LOVE the sound of the downtuned metal strat under a slide

If this is your first time hearing ariel, I highly recommend listening to his music on spotify!

Strings 17-67 or so, tuned a complete 4th down B-E-A-D-F#-B, plus a brilliant player, plus a super band!

i think out of all the “music theory” videos ive seen on youtube, im learning the most from your breakdowns of these performances. but mind you, never properly studied music lol

My name is also Michael and I got a bit startled when I looked away for a sec and 14:10 happened..

Much love from berlin !!

Steepwaters main player Jeff Massey, plays lead, and slide, and in open tunings doing both... killer stuff man! You’ll not regret it!

Seeing Ariel in a couple months. Cant wait!

That was sweet!!

Ariel came on social media with a post explaining how he constructed this solo. The waypoint cues they've worked out over the course of the tour and how he approached the chord tones. The other benchmark I have for an insane build over a 2 chord vamp is this Matt Schofield live version of Where Do I Have To Stand. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoqdm9qrfte7ops.html I'm exhausted by the end every time I watch it. I've talked to Matt about this and he said that although he doesn't watch videos of himself, quite a few people have mentioned this particular recording to him as their favorites.

Ariel is a phenomenal player, him and Derek Trucks are the reason I picked up a slide. I'm not usually one to request, but have a look at I'm So Afraid by Fleetwood Mac (the performance from The Dance). Perhaps not the most technical solo you'll ever hear, but probably one of the best from what I'd consider to be a criminally underrated guitarist!

Ariel is one of those hidden gems that smack you because you just don't expect him to be thisss good! At first I only knew him from Andertons and when I dug a bit deeper.. wow! Amazing

Some of those licks are absolutely insane

"I was wrong, we're gonna talk more..." 😂🤣❤

Only thing I can say is I'm honored to find he's from Winnipeg, Manitoba.....where I'm from. He is definitely help put our little place on the map. Very proud to have talent of this caliber come from this humble Canadian City. Biiiiig fan of John Martyn btw. 👍🔥

Superb …

Thanks professor.

The late, great John Martyn would have been blown away by this rendition of his song.

I love watching a musician enjoy another virtuoso musician. When I watch a really great guitarist I am grooving so hard just like Michael is here, and it's so confusing to me sometimes to watch people just standing there watching like it isn't insanely impressive.

I haven't seen you struggle to keep up in many videos! Keep practicing ;)

Great video, thanks for showing me this guy. You should check out the Brain Dance Dunlop Session that Animals as Leaders did some time soon

Love the reaction at 4:31 Comes from "Where is he going ?" and arrives at "Holy sh*t!"

"How I played that solo (Ariel Posen)" he posted a video FYI

This guy is sick!

A true lover of guitar

So effin good

Watch the version of this (Angeline) from the “Familiar Grounds” video. 🤦🏼‍♂️ At the 8:30 mark he clicks that pedal and soars off into another goddamn dimension....Unbelievable 👍🏻👍🏻

At this point I have a playlist made just from songs I find on this channel. Fucking goldmine.

Love you michal🙃

Also, you gotta do Tom Bukovac's Saturday night video. Holy crap.

Have not even watched it yet.... but putting this here anyways. Arial is a monster musician...
