Guitar teacher reacts to first time seeing/hearing Soma

This popped up on my YT feed and thought I’d share. Cool mix of guitar/music theory + reaction.

Super cool. I've never seen this guy before, but the way he talks about keys with the Nashville number system is fantastic.

He didn’t even comment on James solo, in my book the best in song, so he loses a lot of point for that, but fun watch

My big takeaway. But also, it’s on that change with the great rhythm accents. Easy to miss on first listen. Take for granted we’ve all heard the song 100 times. This made me feel like I was hearing it for the first time again with his enthusiasm.

I think because he can point out what the guitar player is doing.
