I found this youtube channel of a guitar teacher REACTING to music. He watches the video, talks about what he’s hearing and fiddles around figuring it out on his guitar.
This is considerably better than most of the REACTS videos I’ve seen which are usually the phoniest of all possible balonies. I only understand maybe a third of the musical theory he’s talking about, but it’s so fun to listen to someone who is super knowledgeable on any subject talk about it in incredible detail.
So far this guy has done two tracks from my favorite band of all time Phish (shut up, they’re great) and for once I’m actually really enjoying watching the REACTION part of a REACTS video. I know these songs incredibly well, so I know when crazy parts are about to happen and seeing his face when he first hears something is really fun.
The only reaction videos I’ve enjoyed as much as these are when I spent an afternoon watching this super christian duo react to GHOST and FRANK ZAPPA videos. That got old because it became apparent they were seeking out stuff to be offended by for the clicks. (also, anyone who doesn’t like GHOST and FRANK ZAPPA is not to be trusted)
Currently Playing: Phish – “New Year’s Eve 1995”
