@@officialWWM Nope. He's a guitar player's singer. It's the guitar player that counts singers are just a dime a dozen. They're good for driving the bus and carrying equipment other than that, that's about it.. Wink wink and a nod.
Man it's crazy but I never realized that Michael really is the missing piece to this band. He is the perfect complement to Rhett's playing, especially on pedal steel.
Congratulations on the signature amp - it sounds great. Michael Westbrook is a real force multiplier for your band, hopefully we’ll see more of him I the future.
Brother Rhett, you can hear and feel the confidence in your tone, your sound, and playing. Nothing better than seeing someone feel good in what they do and enjoying it. Congrats on the signature amp!
This is probably one of my favorite backstages yet! That amp sounds killer and the addition of Westbrook was a great choice! He truly is talented and you all jive together so well!
Hearing the band play reminds me how hard it is to 'make it' making music...or any other art. These guys are amazing, playing a benefit festival. Please keep charging hard - the world is a better place having your music in it.
Great video! Congrats on the signature amp, sounds and looks amazing!! One thing that I noticed going through the comments was all the positivity. In a world that seems so broken and messed up some time, seeing all of these positive post really makes me happy! I love it when other musicians give each other props for their hard work and dedication to their craft. Thank you for some amazing content!
Your amp sounds killer (so does your playing) and Michael is indeed a great player. His playing feels very natural and simple, yet impactful. He’s only playing the notes the song needs. Good stuff!
Rhett dude. Seriously. I’ve always admired your playing - and it is an inspiration to have your videos there when I need that pep to get out a rut. But I gotta say your chops are INSANE. In a live setting your playing just comes alive even more. The tones. The feel. The phrasing. Mind blowing. You should be really proud dude. Also, your cardigan rips!
Incredible. Michael adds so much more rock to the rockin' songs and so much more feel to the quieter songs. Also, songs are really well mixed, unbelievably fun to listen to!
That amp man…sounds incredible. And the band…man does Michael fill up that little bit extra and really brings Good Trouble to life. This was one of the best live performances and mixes I’ve heard in your videos.
Pedal steels are kinda magical the way they can tie everything together. Someday I’ll get around to picking one up (but not today… I’ve got more than enough trouble with the instruments I already have).
Guys, the band sounds amazing! That Les Paul Through your signature amp was ufff, such a pleasure to the ear! All your tone in general, and Michael, wow, such an incredible player! Congratulations, Rhett! And the band, and the Amp Maker! 10/10 job all of you!
Rhett!! Incredible man. It was so fun playing the prototype. I can’t wait to try the final version. Planning to grab one early next year on the 2nd batch. So killer! Congrats man. Sounds gorgeous.
Westbrook is it. That’s what Good Trouble needed to truly get that bump to the next level. I’ve always thought there was a layer missing sonically and could never really tell what was needed to fill the void. Whether it was keys, or an additional guitar player. The versatility of Westbrook fill that perfect. Hats off to you guys. Hopefully y’all can keep him with y’all. I can also tell as a whole band y’all played a lot better with him there.
Great playing Rhett. Good to see you on that Les Paul, sounding better each time I hear it. You're learning the magic of keeping it in the middle more and not being too quick to jump on the bridge to cut through. I find the older custom shops to have better PAF's in terms of tone. You gotta good one there! Also the band is really starting to hit a sweet spot eh! Don't let Michael get away if you can help it. With Noah out front you guys have something really special goin on! Keep on rockin !🎸🎸🎸
Glorious tone from that Amp of yours Rhett... and Michael adds that dimension, the Band sound has been missing - inspired decision and choice... Michael is such a great musician, very tasteful licks and complimentary playing to yours Rhett... 20/10
I absolutely love these! Huge fan of you guys. The different skills and technicalities that each of you bring compliment each other perfectly! And seeing Michael playing with you guys is awesome! Rhett, you and Michael are like a perfect combo of musicians! Love seeing Michael’s involvement!
Congrats ! Amp sounds great man! Killer solo on Whipping Post. I felt the extra stank on that. If I wasn’t a solid state amp guy, I would definitely drool over this amp- it is aesthetically sexy as hell too.
@@bigjohnson7415 wasnt meant sarcastic. didnt really read the first comment, mentioning Tom Petty. And didnt know the song. So It was pure naive enthusiasm. Sorry.
Damn , adding Michael made a huge sonic difference. Any plans on becoming A 5 piece?????? The amp is sweet. It definitely does the thing. After going back and listening I’ve got to have that amp, I can’t get this first run but please make it a product line. The world needs this amp in the wild.
I can’t tell you how much it means when you do legit videos like this. No BS, non nonsense stuff most of us want. Thank you for getting me through. Glad to be in the R-me.
I play a Port City Pearl combo myself and it’s the best amp I’ve ever played. Daniel is an amazing guy. Beyond knowledgeable and helpful across all avenues of amplification. As a North Carolina resident it’s really cool to see an NC company getting the love it deserves. Cheers to Daniel and Rhett!
Having a multi instrumentalist really fills out the sound. Michael is definitely a great addition to the band in these performances. Why wasn’t Phil playing? You guys sounded great, and congrats on the amp!
"Why wasn’t Phil playing?" Was wondering the same thing... I was like, "There's something not right here" and it wasn't till halfway thru the performance that it hit me.
Amp sounds amazing! Daniel is a super cool dude and is building me one of the two channel amps right now. This just made me even more pumped to get mine! Your band sounds fantastic!!
Rhett I’m going through all of your videos rn and I feel like I’m turning into a sponge of all the awesome information you’re giving out. I’m looking at getting some of your courses to learn even more!
Man this amp is a killer! I love the tremolo. Been following your channel for a while now and this piece of gear sounds like the perfect match for this awsome band. I hope to see you guys live by chance when I'm in the US next time.
Pls FOR THE LOVE OF GOD post the entire performance of whipping post!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 that has got to be one of the very best live performances I've ever heard 😭😭😭
The band has never sounded so good, Michael has energized the rest of you. I think you are going big time places. I look forward to you coming to Michigan when you go on tour. The new amp sounds great. ONE damn fine band.
I know one pedal steel player. He was trying to get into a band playing guitar and background vocals. They heard he plays pedal steel and he was in without even hearing him play it.
I'm in a country/ classic rock cover band , when we first started practicing we had an incredible young pedal steel player that filled out the sound so much , unfortunately he had to move away before our first gigs , I do miss him
I love how you alone are keeping the gibson amp vibes goin. Would love to hear your take on the EH-185. But either way, congrats on the super rad amp my dude. The tone on whipping post...*chef's kiss* it's amazing
It’s great when you have that Eureka moment w a guitar or an Amp , my very 1st amp when I was 13 yrs old was a 58 Gibson GA 40 , I still have it and it’s by far my favorite amp , I had no idea what I was buying back in 83 but now I feel extremely lucky that I found it. Great video Rhett !
Been waiting for this video! After all the praise you've shown towards your Port City Pearl for all these years, I've no doubt this sig is going to be absolutely killer
I gotta say: I've been watching your videos for years, including all the backstage stuff, but I've never heard you play as good as you did here with your new Les Paul through your new amp. That tells me both of them really are a great fit for you. Honestly: awesome sound and awesome playing!
Man, that amp sounds delicious, full of pleasant harmonies and crispy tones. Also, the Whipping post is a masterpiece of a song!! Michael added a new dimension to it. Chapeau!
Hoooooly crap guys. Michael needs to be a full time member. I thought ya'll were good before, my mind is blown now. It's crazy how well he completes the band.
I’m still here guys! Like Rhett said, my film schedule couldn’t line up with the rehearsals for this one. Fortunately my good friend Kelly was free and held it down for me ⚡️
Michael Westbrook just added a whole lotta mojo to this band. Keep him around
YES!!!!
Agree 100%, fantastic addition to the band, you should really talk about bringing him on, adds much more depth to the music.
The music just feels MORE when he's in the band. You guys sound so good.
Yeah for real. Michael just fills in that special magic. He and Rhett play really well together.
Yes!!! Amazing pair.
Man that Whipping Post performance was just perfect. Sweet sounding amp man, good job and congrats on this milestone.
Your singer has some unbelievable chops. Unique tone and a massive range. The band sounds killer
Noah Guthrie. He's an incredible songwriter as well.
he reminds me of warren haynes a little bit.
Er, Rhett is HIS guitar player, not the other way round.
@@officialWWM Nope. He's a guitar player's singer. It's the guitar player that counts singers are just a dime a dozen. They're good for driving the bus and carrying equipment other than that, that's about it.. Wink wink and a nod.
He needs vocal lessons.
Man it's crazy but I never realized that Michael really is the missing piece to this band. He is the perfect complement to Rhett's playing, especially on pedal steel.
Right? I couldn't agree more.
Absolutely love the pedal steel parts
Agreed 100% !!!!
MCW... Keep him!
Loved your sets Rhett. You guys got a winning team. I hope Michael joins you all. Freaking fenominal😛
Congratulations on the signature amp - it sounds great. Michael Westbrook is a real force multiplier for your band, hopefully we’ll see more of him I the future.
Brother Rhett, you can hear and feel the confidence in your tone, your sound, and playing. Nothing better than seeing someone feel good in what they do and enjoying it. Congrats on the signature amp!
Thanks Adrian!
As much as I enjoy the phenomenal guitar work on this channel, I've got to shout out for Noah's amazing vocals!
👆 chat me up🎉🎉
Agree, his just right about of smokiness, w/his range is unique..
This is probably one of my favorite backstages yet! That amp sounds killer and the addition of Westbrook was a great choice! He truly is talented and you all jive together so well!

First off, the amp sounds amazing. Congrats, Rhett. But also, my goodness that version of Whipping Post was so damn good.
Awesome seeing Michael Westbrook in there!
he's so great.
Do you still play w/ Jesse Wilson?
@@RhettShull you two play really well together!
Having Michael play was like shifting to a higher gear. You guys always sound great, but dang man, even better with his parts he brings!

No one ever said that about a cardigan before!
Thanks so much Justin!
Damn that whipping post version is INSANE !!!!! The shots are crazy, those solos where crazy. Need a recording of that asap !
Killer tones. Killer band. Killer performance. Michael is such a great addition.
Incredible. Michael adds so much more rock to the rockin' songs and so much more feel to the quieter songs.

Michael and Rhett make a perfect pair in the sound of Noah's band, they complement each other very very well.
Dude having a pedal steel on the gig is a game changer, and congrats on that amp. Sounds awesome and that’s a really cool concept come to life
Pedal steels are kinda magical the way they can tie everything together. Someday I’ll get around to picking one up (but not today… I’ve got more than enough trouble with the instruments I already have).

Haven't even watched yet, but congrats. This is well deserved. Stoked to hear what you create with this.
I absolutely love these! Huge fan of you guys. The different skills and technicalities that each of you bring compliment each other perfectly! And seeing Michael playing with you guys is awesome! Rhett, you and Michael are like a perfect combo of musicians! Love seeing Michael’s involvement!
the pause and the comeback on Whipping Post was done so well. I wish you would all tour the UK at some point. Great sound
You all sounded so good, that's amazing !
Congrats ! Amp sounds great man! Killer solo on Whipping Post. I felt the extra stank on that. If I wasn’t a solid state amp guy, I would definitely drool over this amp- it is aesthetically sexy as hell too.
The band sounds incredible, and that closing tune.... man I really miss Tom Petty. That was awesome.
Indeed. The Allman's as well!
Well you just got me to at least FF to the end of the video
Agreed. Added to the 22 Playlist ... Great
that last „you wreck me“ could go into the charts. Maybe it already is?
@@fernsehdesign If this reply isn't sarcasm, and I expect it is, which I appreciate, but yes it was a cover of Tom Petty. They did a fine cover of it!
@@bigjohnson7415 wasnt meant sarcastic. didnt really read the first comment, mentioning Tom Petty. And didnt know the song. So It was pure naive enthusiasm. Sorry.
Quite possibly the best looking head cab combo I’ve seen. doesn’t sound to bad either ;)
That rendition of Whipping Post is utterly insane, amazing stuff!
I got chills during that “Whipping Post” performance. Holy crappp you guys are insane. Congrats on your amp man, it sounds amazing
Damn , adding Michael made a huge sonic difference. Any plans on becoming A 5 piece?????? The amp is sweet. It definitely does the thing. After going back and listening I’ve got to have that amp, I can’t get this first run but please make it a product line. The world needs this amp in the wild.
Yes- please be a 5 piece
Your version of Whipping Post ABSOLUTELY FREAKING SMOKES! Holy shit!
Oh, the amp sounds fantastic. Love the tone 👍🏻
Holy cow! I got literal chills watching Whipping Post, that was fireee... and this band rocks with the third guitar of Michael!
I can’t tell you how much it means when you do legit videos like this. No BS, non nonsense stuff most of us want. Thank you for getting me through. Glad to be in the R-me.
Westbrook - Shull=🔥Hope to see more of you two playing together!
Crowd is so engaged with the performance
Rhett in one channel, Michael in the other. Done deal. Absolute bosses.
The amp sounds amazing and that LP running through it on Whippin' Post is absolute money!!!!!!
Great playing and great sounding band!
I play a Port City Pearl combo myself and it’s the best amp I’ve ever played. Daniel is an amazing guy. Beyond knowledgeable and helpful across all avenues of amplification. As a North Carolina resident it’s really cool to see an NC company getting the love it deserves. Cheers to Daniel and Rhett!
Having a multi instrumentalist really fills out the sound. Michael is definitely a great addition to the band in these performances.
Why wasn’t Phil playing?
You guys sounded great, and congrats on the amp!
"Why wasn’t Phil playing?"
Was wondering the same thing... I was like, "There's something not right here" and it wasn't till halfway thru the performance that it hit me.
I mean, he does work on film sets for a day job, right? Probably just had a conflict with a shoot.
Amp sounds amazing! Daniel is a super cool dude and is building me one of the two channel amps right now. This just made me even more pumped to get mine! Your band sounds fantastic!!

Dang dude, I'm really digging your band. That was awesome. What an honor to have your name on an amp man. Congratulations

In my opinion, almost every band should have a pedal steel player.

Yes, a drummer too.
@@mikepaulus4766 Jim Lill has a cool YT channel and he plays guitar but he said almost all of his work comes as a pedal steel player.

Well that amp sounds, and looks great. Glad it worked for you in a live setting. That white Novo guitar is amazing as well. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats man.
Keep living the dream and being awesome.
Cheers.
The Les Pauls together are killer and sound great!
Killer video! From Michael to the new amp, new Noah music, badass Les Paul, and killer performances all around!
Hadn't heard/seen your drummer's gear for a while. The Gretsch kit and his new cymbals are a HUGE upgrade for him. Us drummers chase tone too!
Congratulations, Rhett!! That amp does sound awesome and very versatile!
congrats Rhett.
it's amazing to see your growth
God bless you!!

We need a live album so bad

Wow…great performance…well done and polished
Man THIS is music. Great job on both amp and show!
Wow, that version of Whipping Post rocked , that amp sounds great and the 'dual solo' setup with Michael makes it take off
That Novo with single single coil on “You Wreck Me” sounds fantastic! Just rips through. 🙌🏽
Tele pu I think
You are correct sir
Wow that closing tune was killer! Mixing sounding better than ever before on your channel!
Love those videos Rhett ! French fan 🇫🇷🥰🎸

your band’s singer is just AMAZING
Wow the tremolo on the new amp is fantastic and sounds great overall! How come Phillip is filming and not playing?
Phil was working on a TV show and it wasn't going to wrap in time for him to make the rehearsal for the show.
I came here to say WHERE IS PHILIP, then he appeared 😊

Your sound coming out of that amp is amazing 👏 every guitar you played sounded fantastic 👏 Great Stuff 👍
Your songs are all GREAT!! Wreck Me was always a favorite to play...what a GAAAAS!!!!
It’s cool to see someone living out their dream.
Congrats on the new amp. You guys sound great and Michael added a lot to make the sound bigger, but not overbearing 🤘🏻✊🏻✌🏻
Did they really have a college football game on a huge TV screen right next to the stage during the show? 😂
That amp sounds great!!! Love the warmth it oozes and the brite shimmer on the top. Gotta have one!
Noah is a talented dude. 🤘
Great performance with a gifted singer. That amp sounds sweet! Lovely vintage tones. It seems to take pedals very well.
You guys laying it down and people staring at cell phones...wtf
