HOW TO PLAY DEAR PRUDENCE | Grateful Dead Guitar Lesson | Play Dead

[@MrNvona]

It is in C in JGB vids but it's all relative, it's a walk down. I'm trying to figure out the fingerpicking of the Cap show

[@GStone]

What a f'ing score👍 Looking for the licks to Dear Prudence and get the Jerr version. This, Midnight Moonlight and Harder They Come are some of my favorite covers.

[@wrmiddleton0]

Your video lessons are really great! I love how you break the songs down and the wrap it up by playing the entire song. I know other people do that but you do it better. All of that and I feel like I’ve met you before on a lot somewhere. Maybe not. Maybe I just watch a lot of these videos. Either way. Thanks for making them. How about a video on Throwing stones with all the Bobby SUS magic in the intro and such? I always loved that song. Thanks again.

[@benlgordon]

Davy! I hope this message finds you well. I went to dead and Co in June and I haven’t listened to anything but the dead since. I have learned so much from your lessons. I love your live jams and I always tip when I catch it on. I have heard bits and pieces of your story and I want more! Tell us your story in a video, how did you become homeless? How did the dead help you? How did you get a home? How did you learn to play the dead so well?

[@jacobnelson8383]

Been playing for about a year just now stumbled on your channel. This is the KZbin all deadhead guitarists need to subscribe to

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks for joining the fam, Jacob! Keep that shit up!

[@williamfronce7062]

Lots of fun...and a great teacher

[@jasonjohnson9971]

Davvy- would you consider a Dear Mr Fantasy? Loved Prudence.

[@GreenGenesMr]

Been just watching all your play dead stuff. Cant Stop Wont Stop Im curious for you to cover Looks Like Rain :))

[@Brian2124]

Love your tutorials. Could you do a video on Jerry's melodic playing / solo style? Some tips on plucking out a melody when practicing? Thanks man.

[@TobyDavvy]

Brian! Thanks for being part of the fam! Best thing I can do is talk about it during the livestreams right now. So, be sure to check out the streams on Fridays @ 9pm EST. The streams are kind of like a convo with some jamming. I go over that kinda stuff there.

[@JonnyDGhent]

Kudos!!! I subscribed because you are a funny funky guy.... humor sustains/ soothes me same as great music does.... had to edit in that your lesson is top notch

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

It’s kind of you to do these, or to have done these, or to do them in the future. I’m appreciative. Appreciative Deceased. Couldn’t tell if you were flashing both “awright” and “alright”, but I noticed the subtitles of the Sopranos use “awright” for Tony’s lines all the time and it cracks me up. Anyway, thank you for doing it and doing it right.

[@donakin8562]

I I tune the guitar down to play along with the JGB?

[@bobbyronspiez5021]

Davy love your channel. How about dire wolf

[@bobdefrance2814]

Davvy. Love your channel. I’d be into a tutorial on minglewood blues and stones covers of the last time, it’s all over now.

[@bobbydmayo2518]

your great Davy. Funny and extremely informative. Thanks Missive Dead Head for over 40 years!

[@XboxGamer99]

Hey cool video man ive been trying to get back into the guitar and this is the perfect challenge. Also the perfect song!!!

[@leibama59]

Davey, think you could redo this in the Key of C? D just doesn't sound right!

[@fratertater6130]

Loving these!!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks, homie! New lessons every week! If you have a dead tune you want me to do just let me know

[@Uni413]

You’re weird as shit man, I love it. Glad I came across your channel, these lessons have been great. 💀🌹

[@chirocall]

Great job. Thanks.

[@TobyDavvy]

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! HUGS FROM BRAZIL!!!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks for being here!

[@farmdogmusic2365]

Preciate ya hippie that was a good video

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks, homie!!!

[@royevans6116]

Thanks for the lesson and the laughs. I'd love to see a "Gomorrah" lesson. The G, C/G, and G7 chord shapes played over the first line of each verse give me a lot of trouble and have destroyed my self-esteem. My dog looks at me with pity, and my bathroom mirror looks at me with disgust. Please help me. Stay healthy and in good spirits!

[@TobyDavvy]

I gotchu bro. Be easy with yourself! Add me on instagram and I can shoot a small vid of that G, C/G, G7 bit for you and send it your way. It's not too difficult once you get the swing of it.

[@scottmagri6306]

JBG plays it in C

[@TobyDavvy]

Yep. JGB does. But I taught it in D.

[@scottmagri6306]

@@TobyDavvy D is gay

[@scottmagri6306]

Just joshing. Good video

[@TobyDavvy]

I appreciate that you get the tone of the channel. I totally would have taught it in C, but I try to teach what they have up on Rukind so everybody is kind of working out of the same “book” you know? And on there they have it in D like the Beatles played it.

[@joshbigpp1087]

davy looks like the guy who dropped out of high school and lives in a van playing grateful dead covers in coffee shops for tips

[@TobyDavvy]

That is literally my life.

[@zackaryjohnson7606]

Hey Davvy, I know I’m a day late and a dollar short to the show, but if you ever have a moment and can find the time, I’d love a tutorial for the JGB burner Who was John? Here’s a link for reference dude, m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIvZcoBoha2Vb5o&pp=ygUZV2hvIHdhcyBqb2huIGplcnJ5IGdhcmNpYQ%3D%3D Keep on doing what you’re doing, I saw dear prudence live at star lake last year and it was incredible, changed my life, or maybe that was the mushroom chocolate bar, idk, anyways you’re the only dude I could find on the whole matrix that even came close to it. You rock man!

[@gavinb144]

Why did I put off this song for so long? 😂

[@TobyDavvy]

Its fun and pretty easy, right?

[@gavinb144]

@@TobyDavvy the easiest 👌👌👌

[@pilou63100]

The reflection of the flash onto your glasses doesn't help to focus on your content. Good stuff though!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll work on that. The next lesson is already shot but the one after I’ll try to have it fixed.

[@dr.josephjive2507]

is it me, or is the audio and video out of sync?

[@TobyDavvy]

Very possible bro, I was still figuring out the software when this one was done.

[@MikesGroove95]

Wrong key, no?

[@TobyDavvy]

Jerry band played it in D and C. Mostly C, but the Beatles version is D. So whatever.

[@jonathangudjohnsen9871]

@@TobyDavvy I like that you did it in D. Converting it to C using your general approach was a good exercise and now I know it both ways. What a beautiful tune. Cheers.

What is a hippie? A morally bankrupt dopehead? I grew down in the 60's & that's what every "hippie-dippie old dude" was.
