[@mathlover2299]

crazy cat peaking through a lace bandana like one eyed Cheshire like a diamond eyed jack, a leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle to another double waterfall ooooover my back. Love this song., On my 2nd day learning this I now know that I must be lit to get on this dudes level.

[@jeremybeaman8492]

Been listening to that song for years and the lyrics still trip me up every time they don't rhyme at all but somehow do at same time

[@aaronmaiden3606]

I love this song, specially when it's followed by I know you rider

[@michaelworse6034]

Yeah bro , me too !

[@aleksanderpiekarski1756]

Davvy, Thank you for this BADASS lesson. Love it

[@ZoSo89]

Appreciate you taking the time to make these man. You're an awesome guitar player

[@mle1ravens1]

Tis true! Tis.

[@bruceroberts8497]

I just put this in my repertoire a few weeks ago but not all that exact. Now I got it! Thanks so much! Very coincidental that I’ve been showing the whole China-Rider thing so much love lately and then voila, you make this lesson!

[@jackwbeau]

[@NUBULA-yt7wm]

[@NUBULA-yt7wm]

I'm also acquiring about electo Harmonix Blurst pedal to run through the memory man. Very interested in seeing hoe the v clone will do ran with those 2 pedals. Should be fun🙂

[@LukeZalvino]

Best guitar teacher ever

[@usernameinvalid2675]

Thanks man love it look forward to I know you Rider 💥

[@matthewatwood3360]

This was the song that hooked me. Hooked me good, too. It was the creamery benefit version from '72.

[@issiahbernaiche6897]

I love your lessons and have been a subscriber for about over a month now. Can’t wait to learn I know you rider to do both songs in succession. Am practicing this song and Morning Dew soloing. The week after you do I know you Rider. May you try and do rather say St. Stephen or Jack A-Roe!! Thank you! See you this Thursday at noon!

[@jacksonhilde4373]

Great vid thank you!

[@JoshuaMartelli]

Hunter trippin' balls...Davvy covers ALL! Dead, that is.

[@neo2190]

Starts at 4:20

[@dirtdart420]

Dude you rock. Long time dead fan and love learning and playing their shit on my acoustic. Thanks a bunch man. And where the h did you get that jerry looking wolf guitar?

[@incircles1975]

Hooked on this dude in 30 seconds.

[@Notcorncowsorchickens]

Bravo Zulu to Davvy, fine lesson, very inspirational. I have two areas of thought seeking comment: First, I believe (electric) Hot Tuna would’ve evolved into a D&C type band given HT’s talented lineup. Second, I believe D&C should add a few covers of, ready for it?, Michael Jackson. Yep, sex & politics aside, JM would rip on Beat It, the piano soloing opportunity for Jeff abound. The bass line on Beat It would make Oteil smile. Comments please Stay well good luck Thanks

[@herbythechef7624]

Im a huge hot tuna fan and i dont think that jack and jorma would ever be a D&C type band. Jorma is so ingrained in traditional music i could never see them going that route

[@pglavengood6447]

Nice

[@chrisarnold6852]

Thanks again for every song you disect in such a fun and entertaining way!love the dead so much and have struggled to play anything really other than chords.but you have taught me all the secrets and perseverance i need!! Breakdown (thunder )for me sometime,billy strings and hunter new song,please and gracious thanks.

[@adirondacktrekking1972]

GRATE SHIT IN THE MORNING!! ✨🙏✨

[@ndill1597]

Davey is the fuckin balls man. You’re funny- thanks dude!

[@geor42]

You should do "Beat it on Down The Line" next davvy

[@buckmanb]

Great lesson as always! When Franklin’s?!?

[@herbythechef7624]

A to G, then D to G. Youre welcome 🙂

[@ianquittner6067]

you had me at Silver kimono

[@colbyg1784]

This was actually really great. Super easy to learn from you

[@toddnadell1754]

I hope D&C play it tonight at Citifield . BTW, what make guitar are you using? "I wants onz fer moi" peace!

[@patrickrudback9016]

Oh, what I want to kno-ow, is that a Doug Irwin Alembic Wolf model guitar you're using there, Davy?

[@samtheram13]

I WAS THINKING ABOUT 11 HOURS AGO I NEED TO LEARN THISSS LMAO

[@jimmygiles6245]

How 'bout some "playin in the band"? great, fun lessons by the way.

[@Hortron69]

I get that he was trippin’ balls when he wrote the best psychedelic poetry…EVER!

[@nathanielvalla6142]

So is the part where they used to sing China cat is the solo section

[@briano.1503]

I'm waiting for Wharf Rat! 🤔

[@JohnClarke808]

Nice this will be easy on the mando. Have you done rosalie mcfall?

[@herbythechef7624]

[@muchennui]

Toby, do you have a Spark tonecloud account I can follow?

[@sonicintervention7474]

Learn your chord inversions...or other versions of your chord. I'm taking that one home for the kids.

[@milesdaly2979]

What kind of guitar is THAT? Sounds incredible.

[@TobyDavvy]

It’s a Phred Wolph

[@danielcruz1263]

when are you gonna teach us China Mouse

[@RocnVin]

Fn A ty ty dayvay

[@oooogieazgolf]

Try one thing. When you're playing the E to B to A section come out on a D instead of the B and see what you think.

[@oooogieazgolf]

@@jonathanroselaw You're write man. And I was too except visualising it in my head I came up 2 frets low. D it is. So I edited my comment to reflect the change. Thanks!

[@oooogieazgolf]

@@jonathanroselaw I actually played the tune the way he drew it up for years until our keyboard player brought it up a few years back. And the D made sense right off the bat.

WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@sirbergersworth]

If you don’t get it, you aren’t paying attention.

[@bokehintheussr5033]

I love the dead but how many of their songs consist of a two major chords a step apart

[@matthewatwood8641]

My daughter loves your intro to Mississippi half-step, but I can only let her watch like the first 10 seconds. She's seven. She's too young to hear about shooting heroin into anywhere, much less where you mentioned.

[@kpd987]

re-subscribe!

[@zizoumonk10]

you have huge hands

[@MrGroot-nh2ny]

You are early. What is this song about

[@herbythechef7624]

Its an acid trip

[@ashby7166]

Where tha fuck is wharf rat davvy??????

[@soundfromaction5393]

I like davy, but botching the riff on this is no bueno. 😂

[@rarebirdjones]

I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to watch this show and walk away feeling sad, upset, or otherwise distraught in any way- I mean it would be very difficult to watch this fellow and be pissed off, you know? Let’s put it this way; if you watch this video and find yourself full of rage, or even grumpy, then chances are that you should give some serious thought to engaging in some kind of therapy with a licensed professional....just sayin.’

[@schkwir]

you are not funny

[@TobyDavvy]

Your mom seems to think I’m pretty funny.
