[@CarsonsChannel]

I tell everyone about this video to this day. Those who care and those who dont alike. Im glad its officially back.

good to be back!

It might be the best video on youtube

What happened to it I didn't even know it went anywhere. User to watch it all the time.

[@weedsandwhich420]

Let’s bring back the best comment from the old video. “It’s a really good thing we can’t smell through the screen.” this shack is wicked. Love this sesh

[@luancervantes6124]

I'll never forget the one that went like "at 12:41 you can see the drugs start kicking in"

[@h3ndershot]

I thought I had seen this one ten years ago.

[@salisburysteve3104]

I met a dude in prison and he had a ween tattoo. He wrote down a bunch of the lyrics which I loved and would try to sing them for me because he loved ween so much. When I got out I bought chocolate and cheese and that really changed music for me. I hope that dude is doing well.

[@misfitmaniac3084]

Did you get bummed while in prison?

[@jam_42069]

This sounds like my experience a couple months ago, but I'm the dude with the Ween tattoo.

[@CharlieMoney777]

You write well for an ex-con, did you get your GED while you were in there?

I wouldnt be surprised if his Name is Aaron... I know a guy by that name that's a huge ween fan and also has been to prison on a few occasions..

[@MarioKazooie]

Lots of sweating

[@mrs.schniffelzshow3989]

Coke lol

[@777pdub]

Definitely seems like some coke was done before filming this

[@barryobongo8833]

it amazes me how little known he is on guitar. hes one of the best

[@charliekaminsky8489]

Its sad but most greats are relatively unknown. The invitational hosted by deaner is fucking incredible and has Micheal Hampton of funkadelic sitting in some nights

[@SponkADonk]

​@@charliekaminsky8489Jesus. Where is that? New Hope?

[@timothysmith2042]

​@@SponkADonk Yes, at John & Peter's Place, every Wednesday, though not always with Deaner. I went at the end of September, the week of the cancelled Ween show in Philly, it was The Reverend Bill Fowler and the Invitational Band amd they killed it! definitely worth the trip!

[@A.M......]

I remember watching this when I was thirteen and trying to play leads for the first time. I'm 23 now and still suck. Thanks for uploading these man.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

I missed out on this when it was originally around. I had to piece together over time all the nuggets of wisdom that I could've gotten in just one video!

[@highrollerdiscs805]

Yeah no worries I’ve been watching this a long time

[@sethprops4404]

Basically same age as you. So good to see these again! And hope you’re doing good dude.

[@BigStinky69]

Same man i watched this when i was like 15, now im 24 and in a band. The only thing I learned from this video was maj7 chords lol.

[@sethprops4404]

@@BigStinky69 Haha fuck yeah

[@RonG40]

RIP Dickie Betts. I've been jamming on some of his tunes since I heard, but I'd be lying if I said this video wasn't the first thing that popped in my head.

[@theslownow]

Same here…and here we are. RIP.

[@rocketsalad]

@@theslownow Just saw the news of DB's passing on a random music site, I read the headline, skipped the obit, and headed straight over here to watch this vid for the gazillionth time 🤠

[@cactusmusics9160]

Same!

[@theo484]

What Allman / Betts tune is this that they're jamming on?

[@RonG40]

@@theo484 It's a song Dean wrote called 'Dickey Betts'.

[@tedbarber7663]

This video changed my life 10 years ago. I’m still unpacking it today

[@hsb8854]

This video is how I found ween

[@artkisonc805]

Chocolate and Cheese is one of the greatest albums of all time in my eyes. This interview rocks.

[@haikat4]

It's actually amazing how much ground you can cover just by learning Blue Sky and Maggot Brain. The major and the minor, both tunes full of tons of moves to choose from.

[@axlotl999]

This is remarkable. They are clearly doing lines between takes. But the details of the fingerings? Way beyond youtube standards.

[@VincentSebastianMusic]

The sweatiest youtube video of all time. Glad to see it back!

[@BigHeartMusicOfficial]

2nd sweatiest

[@thechamp9696]

“If you’re gonna miss, miss big” that is coincidentally both my philosophy to playing guitar and making sweet love

[@justinguitarcia]

This series is so legendary. Was super bummed when it vanished and always wondered what happened but happy to the reupload under Sweeney. Rad 🤘

[@guitar-moves]

It’s good to have it home

[@thejamnasium6447]

yes. the greatest episode of music/guitar related content ever put out on youtube

[@yam83]

Watch the Josh Homme one too.

[@Kendro311]

Been listening to Ween since the early 90's when I took a chance and bought Pure Guava after seeing it advertised in a High Times magazine. Mind blown, and still is to this day. Dean is a legend. You probably won't hear his name brought up in the "greatest guitarists ever" conversations... Which kills me. Because he's he's one of the most talented I can think of. Can play anything, and flow through a range of styles and genres unlike anyone I've seen. A true artist without limitations. Just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for the video 👍🏼

[@playbass97]

This episode is the reason I began listening to Ween when I first saw it. Something about that chaotic Deaner face in the thumbnail…thanks a lot Matt!

[@CagedPaps]

Revisiting this episode is like going back to the town you grew up in 20 years later. I still play some licks from this episode when noodling.

[@festivitycat]

I'm not a guitarist but I watched this video so many times before and now I'm going to watch it so many times again. It's so life-giving to see two people enjoying music and each other's company so much

[@fleshbhones]

The chord that Matt rips at 4:23 is the heaviest thing I've ever heard

[@lobabobloblaw]

Mickey doesn’t get enough credit for being such an improvisational, creative player. More from Planet Ween!

[@hatredpony3712]

I was always weird and I never fit in and then I heard Ween 20 years ago and it propelled me down an entire wormhole of weird music that spoke to me. Ween has always been my favorite band since. I'm obsessed to say the least and they really helped shape me into the person I am today, an even bigger weirdo.

[@darrenaragon4831]

Same.

[@amosikner1297]

This is just my favorite interview ever.

[@thechamp9696]

The greatest KZbin video of all time makes it’s glorious return!!!!

[@ministryod]

Most underrated guitarist ever

[@PressuredSpeechBand]

The humor is what makes music so much better!

[@theyoungupstart]

I had a friend put me on to this video and Ween a couple of years ago, this video has become a bit of a happy space for me Thanks for bringing it back

[@danielstoddart]

Hey Matt! If you're reading this, I'm pumped that you're bringing Guitar Moves back. When I saw that almost all of the videos got deleted, I thought that was tragic. I was searching for the Blake Mills edition (please bring that one back-it's one of the best episodes IMO) and saw that some Russian dude had ripped a low quality copy with overdubbing. Please, please keep doing episodes if you can-this series has so much potential. I can think of so many guitarists that would be great for this show.

[@AllofJudea]

Mickey is a fucking god. Finally got to see ween a couple of years ago. He blew my socks off. I don't know how he plays hunched to the floor like that

[@MBRollo-gg7vk]

Man, thank you for re-uploading, I love this show. Can’t wait for new episodes. Would be really cool to see the James Williamson one again, too.

[@ruturbett]

This is genuinely one of the most insightful and inspiring videos on the guitar I've ever seen. Glad to see it back!

[@danielstoddart]

Best 13 minute rock guitar lesson you'll ever get. And best of all, it's totally free.

[@jacktravis2718]

So happy this popped back up. What. A legendary video.

[@CheckeredSuit]

This is the best Guitar Moves episode by a huge margin!!! So many lessons packed into this one.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

I only play bluegrass, but ive always thought that you were maybe the best musical journalist and interviewer ever. So glad you're back

[@crh4878]

9:51 Gonna Leave You from QOTSA's Songs for the Deaf, which Dean played on

[@luancervantes6124]

this is the video that inspired me to pick up the goddamn guitar and fucking play it, for real, not just dick about for riffs. that was about three years ago and I've gotten so much mileage from the lessons of Deaner and Ween ever since. thank you so much for putting it back up and thank you for introducing me to Ween and Deaner's solo material!

[@brayancruz5866]

Still to this day I occasionally think about that “below the dick or above the dick but never covers the dick” joke, I actually did say that to my girlfriend now wife as joke when we started dating and she asked me to play for her (I suck btw) .I remember watching this video many times over and over trying to understand what they were saying as I had just started learning english. Good old times.

[@Dalton4D]

as someone learning guitar (classical) I am just now learning the major 7s and hearing dean talk about it and how he learned about it and made some absolute bangers from just learning those chords is really cool

[@TehNarwhalz]

Man I was just randomly thinking of this video earlier tonight, and how much of a ripper that first 2 minutes of the video is, and here it is reposted just the day before. You guys are just genuinely two dudes happy to fuck around and jam, this video is a perfect example of that

[@Shatterthewaves]

One of my favourite videos on the internet, glad it's back ! The shack is my happy place.

[@manny7289]

I love coming back to this episode a lot. You can see the delight and fun in the intro jam with these two, it's amazing

[@MrAll300]

[@Julestube]

When I heard the news, the first thing came to my mind was this interview. RIP Dickey Betts.

[@UlyKansas]

Man I used to look everywhere for this video! It got to the point someone on KZbin had to re uploaded it. Lol I’m glad this video is back.

[@kristofer_merritt2923]

So glad this is back on youtube. I searched for it the other day and could not find it! It deserves to be seen!

[@monkeytailhock2295]

The first Dean Ween solo album kicks ass. Starts off with Dickey Betts. I saw Dean solo live on tour and his entire solo band is full of great players. One of the best concerts I've been to.

[@crh4878]

Saw the Dean Ween Group in Bozeman in 2018, a month after seeing Ween in Red Rocks. Deaner plays with heart and hits all the right notes.

[@sazarod]

The definitive episode of this awesome series! Glad it’s back.

[@mrtncrls]

One of my favorite channels and guitar dudes is back on the Tube! Hell yeah! Today is a glorious day!

[@tradertom4843]

9:39 “anything that’s tasty is a taster” ❤

[@SaintKines]

I say this all the time. Its so bad that my wife started using it. One day she just said it and immediately covered her mouth like she just said a bad word in church, I couldn't have loved her more.

such a funny video. been watching all the new ones and to see this older one was a trip.

[@slashtrio]

Love this! Love the almond bros style jam at the beginning! For the longest time I only played minor pentatonic and did not know the major pent and how to get those happy / southern rock vibes. It's super cool when you can mix the two like clapton and many others. Love this series, can't wait to see some new ones!

[@vwharman]

Deaner just gacked, always makes me smile.

BEST Push/Pull/OPENING Groove JAM I think I’ve Ever Heard (PERIOD) . Honestly You guys are Something Special and there’s no mistaking this Pocket. In closing I have Tim’s exact Gap and Deans exact freaking Nose and the personality if you both had children who grew up then had a child together only with less Chops but similar Vibes(I think).
