Absolutely. I always liked his music growing up in the 90s-2000s. So, when I finally got to see him a couple years ago in concert, I was pretty excited for it. But man, I had no idea what a great musician he actually is. Just him and an acoustic guitar and he put on one heck of a show.

@@montarctica Went to one a couple years ago. Amazing show and worth every penny.

Fun fact about ol Travis, he will tell you he's never formally studied music. He still cannot read music. He's 100% self taught and plays by ear and feel. Legend.

I'm pretty sure if I wrote a song, Michael would know more about it than I would...

I had no idea Tritt could pick like this. So many country solo artists just wear the guitar as an accessory, it's nice to see it when they can play.

Travis is old school country... not like these new Luke Bryan types.

I saw Travis Tritt in '97, he played in Massachusetts. Joe Diffie and Trisha Yearwood opened. My first and only Country music concert. The biggest surprise was discovering Travis is a phenomenal guitar player!! It was fantastic! Travis came on, by himself, sat on a stool, just like he's doing on this video, and took requests for almost an hour!! It was the coolest thing I'd ever witnessed and I've been all over Europe through the 1980s attending more concerts than I can possibly count...hundreds! You name a 1970s and 1980s band and chances are I saw them. But Travis, he took showmanship to the next level! Love your channel, I'm a new subscriber and rookie guitar player at 61 years young lol I'm intrigued by your little lessons you give. I've learned a couple things, especially TOOL tunes!

Learnt this and played and sang it in many bars over the years. Great crowd pleaser

I saw TT back in the day when he would play a concert go to a bar afterwards and shut the bar down. Man can play his ass off! Middle of the concert he played solo for 45 mins before the band came back and finished the show.

He mixed southern rock and country...ya thats JUST what he did. Travis is phenominal!

Hey brother been a subscriber for two months now and loving every minute of it. I don’t even play the guitar, I just enjoy learning, and your enthusiasm and love for what you do is infectious. Bravo 👏

Grew up on this song but the first time I ever heard Travis Tritt do it I had to learn every note he plays from beginning to end, and I still play it this way every time but still can’t get the soul that guy can put into it. He’s one of the most underrated pickers in country music

I’ve seen Travis 3 times. He’s a killer guitar player. He hangs out with Marty Stuart. They both jam together. Speaking of Marty. You should do “That’s Country “

Heck yeah man! They are awesome together. I remember when they were touring together back in the 90's. They had some great songs together. Speaking of Marty songs, I love watching him play his song "Tempted". He's a musical historian and instrument collector. That makes him even better in my book. Love how he's still using Clarence's Tele. That guitar could have sit in a closet for years and years, and just rotted away, but he's still making it make music.

Travis Tritt plays so much smoother than I ever recall in hearing in this video!

I can’t even play guitar 🤣... I just like watching someone that can hear. Reminds me of my dad with a piano.

Michael you need to hear Jamey Johnson’s “Just Give it Away” live at the House of Blues in Boston 4/9/19

I subscribed to your channel today. I’m not a guitar player, I’ve been a church music director trained mostly in vocals. By watching your videos, I’m learning how to communicate better with guitarists and other band members. Thank for all you do. It’s greatly appreciated.

Saw Travis and Marty Stewart live years ago, just insane talent on that stage

Great video, Michael. I’ve been coming back to that song for years. Who knew TT had chops like that. You deconstructed it quite easily without a capo no less. Killer job explaining.

I absolutely love the way you explain this and also the expressions on your face are priceless. WOW! This was a joy to listen to.

IMO, one of the best guitar pickers around an thanks for the breakdown

Really nice. Tritt is way serious with the capacities and talents. Saw Charles play this in person 3 rows from his nose. Senior in high school had quite the enjoyment that evening arriving into starkville, ms from a high school golf match in time to enjoy the great Charlie Daniels. Not possibly forgettable. Amazing memory. Thank you.

I have been waiting for forever for you to do this song!! Awesome!!

I had the pleasure to see him at the former Lakeland Center in Lakeland Florida. at the time he was doing "Travis Tritt- A man and his guitar" tour. Was able to meet him back stage. This man is the most polite and down to earth person I've had the pleasure to be in the same room with. The show was knock down get up and move show I've ever seen and i've seen a lot of performers. No band was there, just him and his guitars for 90 mins. Even had a 12 string that he could make sing. By far he is the most underrated and recognized musicians in the industry. Would like to see you react to Keith Urban and his solos. Another great musician and performer.

You really need to check out Whiskey Myers. Try broken windows serenade, stone, and trailer we call home

Can't EVER go wrong with an SST. Love mine indeed.

asked for this one on several "music review" channels. glad it came up here!

"Hey Travis, I love the way you throw that minor 3rd in there!" Travis says "What the hell does that mean? I'm just playing the guitar."

I got some Otis Taylor - Nasty Letter vibes in that little jam at the beginning!

Heck yea man, friggin love the country guitar sound!! ...this may be a lil off subject idk, I was/am a big CDB fan and worked w them once arnd 05’, which most of the day I spent hangin with Taz (he played keys and co-wrote w CD since I believe the beginning-ish). At the time I remember trying to figure out Devil Went Down to Georgia so I asked him about the theory (I was also learning), he said something like “we wrote it in D and the melody drove it home, the rest really don’t matter” ..a total lightbulb moment. That dude was so cool with some wild stories, the fun inappropriate kind, and I came away with a lot of great memories... Anyhow apologies for the rant, this vid gave me nostalgia. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, and Yes more country pickin’ vids!

i love Travis' vocals but man oh man can he play...i've only ever seen him playing with the band...he has some amazing finger work..deffinately something new for me to look in to

Dude I absolutely love the facial expressions. Love the videos. Keep it up!

AWESOME Michael!!!!! I think I learned the most from this video of any of yours I’ve watched. Love Travis…Love that song…have played it for years without understanding like I do now. Anyone else notice how little time it takes Michael to get 90% of the way to what Travis was doing…back to Guitargate to continue the journey!

Travis is one hell of a guitar player and many people don't really see that. I've covered his rendition of Long Haired Country Boy on my channel as well. I learned it by ear as I've never gotten guitar lessons. It's one heck of a fun song to play and sing. Your breakdown of the melody went waaay over my head haha but it was great hearing you discuss the mechanics of that song.

love your videos bro! thanks

Love what your doing man! Keep it up

I love how much you love this.

Thanks for the music!

Mike, please keep up with this foremat of teaching, very informative. Wish I had this at 17 years old.

You earned my subscription! Awesome videoMe and my band cover this song and doing a solo has always been a struggle for me. Once again, great video!!

Terrific breakdown as usual!

Travis is a multi-instrumentalist. Check out some videos with him on Banjo. He's awesome.

dude, I just found this live version about a week ago too. Thanks for doing this one cause I was struggling to figure it all out haha

When Travis first hit the scene he was not regarded as much of a picker, more well known for his incredible voice. But he's developed into a serious guitar player. Can hold his own with most anybody.

Great content, one of my favorite versions of the song.Thanks for the breakdown. I don't fully understand the theory you explained but understood enough to keep me inspired to keep playing. Your a great teacher, with such positive mojo. Thank you for the video.

Props to that Shred sesh in the beginning! 🤟

I think Travis is top ten in old school bad ass country pickers to ever do it and I enjoy playing his songs and singing along...but with that said.... I got to say to Mr. Palmisano ...you sir, in your knowledge level and with your ear to pick things apart and your skills on guitar make you an all-round bad ass yourself ...unreal dude ...awesome. Wish you were my teacher!!keep on brother!!

Someone needs to do a react video of Michael reacting to a guitar video. His honest excitement of listing to these greats is priceless.

Song written by another super star Charley’s Daniels. Not only a fiddle player, but guitar, dobro, banjo…a real all around talent.

Love your videos!! Thank you so much for them. I'm surprised more people don't use the "Drop E" capo thing if they have a clamp-on caop that is open on one end. Capo five higher strings with capo upside-down and leave low E open to ring full.

I've finally started learning some theory over the past 2+ years - after being just a "dude who plays songs on guitar at a mediocre level" for the past 25 years (lol) - understanding the diatonic scale, intervals, major/minor, caged, triads, yada yada - I've found that I want to sob in my hands every time I see Palmisano break this shit down in one second flat (no pun intended) at genius level. It's like I now know what I don't know, and the problem is, I feel like I'm still never gonna know it! UGH! LOL. I think I need in-person, 1-hour lessons, 2x/week b/c I've been doing zoom lessons and watching a zillion videos, but I don't stay on track and on a certain area long enough to stick w/me good enough to really apply it. My zoom-teacher is like Palmisano, it's like savant level shit where he knows exactly what note/interval he's playing at anytime, and how it relates to the context of the melody, and all of it. It is absolutely mind bending to me.

I hear, “Oh Susannah, don’t you cry for me, cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee”

Great job bud. Love the explanations and your excitement is awesome. I am a music major and have a semi pro band on the go, or will be when COVID lets it. I’m a big fan of the channel. Keep it up

WOW. Did not know Travis Tritt could play (only know a few of his songs)... Assumed he was more-or-less just a 4-chord strummer like most country singers. That was awesome.

He's a banjo picker too.

Love your advice to figure out the melody, or vocal line, and then go from there. There is a story attributed to Chet Atkins, in which a picker says he wasn't sure what to play during his break. Chet supposedly said "well the melody always works". True or not, I don't know, but it fits in with what you say. Like this one, by the way, TT is playing a Chet Atkins signature guitar. Good one.

Hey bro I love what you do plz do more Tritt stuff thanks in advance

There’s a reason Country is full of Blues. Memphis ain’t all that far from Nashville and the music all bubbled out of the ground in Tennessee. There’s something in the water in that State, I swear.

Can confirm. The water is why the moonshine tastes the best here too. I love how country was in east Tennessee, blues/rock n roll /rockabilly in west Tennessee, and then they crashed in the middle and Nashville became music city.

I really enjoyed this . Im 57 years old i have three guitars an acoustic an electric and an electric\acoustic and cant play any of them . my son has a bass and plays my guitars by ear better than i can play them . so i enjoy watching someone that can just listen and know whats going on . im all desire no talent and not enough drive to overcome the no talent

Let him play all the way through Love tritt!
