Keep on trucking!

I answered you from my clients account, so here is a hello from my real account!

Hahah, thanks

The simplest tunes invite the most improvisation, since complex song like Crazy fingers or Looks Like rain you are constrained by the quick changes

😄

The turnaround after each chorus line is such a joy

Oh, don't wait til the last leaf has fallen?

I wish I were going to Mexico to see Bobby but have never been able to swing that!

That sounds lovely too!

I heard a great interview with Jerry yesterday where he talked about not comparing yourself to others, but just to your own improvement with effort and time and thats the only journey you need to pay attention to.

Like which one?

My first live electric tune, there was an acoustic set first for me

Yes, will do

I will, but I wasn't doing the Lowell George version, but the Bob Weir version from the early 80s

I have much more on it since 14 years ago!

If you are talking about the verse; | Bb /// |F / Eb /| Eb #o ///| Bb ///|Bb/ D /| Eb // Dm|Cm ///|F ///|

Let me know if that still needs more explanation

Jerryhad such great way of leading a story, not just jamming over the chords, and I am trying to learn more about having phrases that make sense instead of just one after another

There are a few songs like this and PeggyO that I learned to play in different keys than the Dead, and now with my dead band I have to move over all my habits to a new key

@@vedantus I really love this song in D ! For me, playing it solo and D is much better. Gives more feel . I’m going to definitely subscribe here, look forward to your future lessons. Thank you for the reply and good luck with the Dead Cover Band!

@@DougSmith-y4o thanks!

Its such a pretty progression

We could also Skype if you need to

@@vedantus wow, yes please

@@Frownstrongz I'm off at the Sphere for the final Dead and Co push, but hit me up next week, [email protected]

@@vedantus that’s very kind of you , speak soon

Thats my wolf before I added the Alligator sticker!

It reminds me of Black Peter where the break has this great build for how the voice works against it.

I did one almost a decade ago, so I am due for an updated one!!

SO glad to share!

Haha, I guess that is funny. Yeah I was listening to 8-25-72 Truckin' and was struck at the outro jam how the simple interaction of Jerry Bobby Phil in a simple E groove that just never stops

Playing well is a few little things put together to make a whole, good tone , in tune, clear rhythm and a run or two to link then chord changes

I sat out in the 105 degree heat today and played Eyes, and the heat always changes how you play. Makes me think pot the 8-27-72 ,Oregon show where it was 104, and how that show feels so summery....

I do do private lessons, (Mostly Skype since there is less lag than zoom) but i will need to learn New Potato, the only part I know is the opening

@@vedantus Awesome, whatever works. Do you have a preferred point of contact?

@@kkenn4 [email protected]

Yes, let me see when I can fit that in

Great! Working on a Queen Jane one soon

Will do!

Its so time embedded to the early 80s for me

It was one of the early ones that grabbed me

Thank you, I'll consider that...

My first I think 35 shows I always missed the dew night, so when I finally caught one in 81 it hit me deep

@@vedantus I heard it on my first show....I was 14 years old. My older brother and his buddies, who were all big GD fans, dragged me along to see the show. I was not that familiar with the band though I was quickly mesmerized by Jerry's and Bob's skills and the interplay between them. This definitely changed my musical direction ..I gave up playing three-chord Punk tunes and started working on learning triads etc..I saw a bunch of shows throughout the 80s but by the 90s the shows started to decline in quality. My last show was in Buffalo in 93 or 94. Jerry was far from on, which was sad to see ....sucks getting older but I guess we were both lucky to see them before the band really blew up after the "Touch of Grey" Lp came out ...everything changed after that album - the whole scene changed. The venues got bigger and the crowds became much rowdier - c'est la vie - the impermanence of life! Anyway, keep up the good work...I enjoy your channel! Take er easy broham!

I'm a pale imitation of Jerry

Fantastic, congrats!

Great. It's hard for me to watch my older vids, there has been so much change in 12 years! Just saw the Dead at Seth Sphere, and it changed my leads concepts yet again

I just experienced the Sphere, ohmigod!!!

most of my guitars didn't need setup, I had two electrics worked on when I inherited them and the action was high. I like right Guild sound, its my favorite

Yay... if there are songs you need ideas on, just comment here!

High praise

I intend to do more short things like this

Glad to hear it. Do you know anyone who went to the Sphere in Las Vegas?

@@vedantus several of my friends are heading that way soon. heard positive things about the offerings via social media.
