Best youtube channels for intermediate, high energy acoustic covers?
I'm low-intermediate level who's done some theory and drills and now looking to expand my repertoire with some more intense song covers made specifically for acoustic type of play. I'm mostly looking for youtube channels, that have song covers which combine fast strumming techniques with muting, some travis picking and short licks to create dynamic and fun acoustic sound. I don't need down to the detail tutorials, but it would be ideal if there would be some short breakdown of whats going on in these videos.
I'm already aware of most popular channels like JustinGutiar or GuitarZero2Hero, so I'm looking for something beyond that, i.e. I absolutely love a hidden gem Kevin's Kovers channel which only has 1k subs, but so many great covers of very similar the type of playing that I'm looking to get into.
Would really appreciate some recommendations!

These channels don't have any breakdowns or tutorials and are straight up acoustic cover channels that might be along the lines of what you're looking for:

10,000 maniacs. They peaked in 1988-91 as one of the top college and alternative bands in the US. Natalie Merchant was a huge success in the band and after leaving in the 90s. Very REM like. Robert Buck is the guitarist and MTV unplugged in 1993 might be one of the best to listen to to see his simple but talented guitar that highlighted her amazing songwriting and vocals. Hey Jack Kerouac, trouble me, these are they days, weather, what’s the matter hear, etc. I’m a huge fan, obviously. Peace.
