HOW TO PLAY JACK STRAW | Grateful Dead Lesson | Play Dead

[@CharleyJ-u7q]

Great video. When anyone searches to learn a dead tune you'll be the one that ends up teaching them. That, my friend, puts you as part of the Dead story. I dig it. Thanks for doing the work

[@TobyDavvy]

This means a lot to me. Thanks CJ. For real.

[@staive70ss]

Just replace "sustained" with "suspended" about 20times in the video, that been said, it's a pretty great lesson.

[@thomaskotch4770]

Yeah, that bugged me, too. Lol

[@chrispage8840]

These are the best Grateful Dead tutorials on KZbin. Love your humor.... you crack me up, Davvy.

[@thomaskotch4770]

Agree

[@brianfarrell5605]

I have been watch guitar/bass lessons on youtube for like ten years. And I have never until now felt any desire or compulsion to like or comment or generally participate. I stumbled on to You guys last week. and I gotta admit…. I think I’m a fanboy. I watched most of these lessons and I first few podcasts. I might just have to break my patrion cherry. Wier : “..jumps like a Willys in 4wheel drive, what don’t you get?” Hunter: “I get it Bobby, it’s just not a good line.” HILARIOUS

[@GratefulUte]

It's great to see and be with people who take their work seriously, without taking themselves too seriously.

[@scottenglert4083]

Your lessons are great, Davvy - thank so much for putting the time into them each week. One specific thing I really appreciate as more of a newbie guitar player is that you show the actual construction of each chord. I'm sure experienced players prob don't even notice but it is so helpful to those of us learning the song and also different positions for various chords at the same time. So many youtube lessons don't have charts, are hard to see quite what's being played (too fast or not close enough), and are just referenced by name as if it's a given that the chord shapes are known. You do a great job explaining them - so thanks for that ! That said - here's a request: some kind of lesson on Scarlet-->Fire (either / both / transition) ideas would be amazing...

[@TobyDavvy]

Thank you so much for this amazing feedback. You kick ass, Scott. Scarlet > Fire will be happening very soon.

[@timbartlebaugh9915]

Awesome, showing the little licks and fills between chord changes is super helpful. It’s improved how I play songs a ton. Thank you!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks for being part of the fam!

[@danielismyname3727]

Dude i love your delivery...thanks man...this is one of my favorites

[@stevoreno6266]

Thanks!

[@coreysmaller]

great stuff man! realized ive been playing this wrong for 30 odd years. thanks for the great tutorial, humor and style.

[@soulrebel4095]

Thanx brother ,you make learning these songs easy and fun,straight to the point no fancy music theory.love the humor

[@TobyDavvy]

Happy to do it, home slice

[@tfsgroi]

Absolutely! My sentiments exactly

[@stevesobel4521]

Spent the last two weeks trying to find a great JS instructional and then this pops. F-yeah! Thanks!!

[@TobyDavvy]

Glad to be of help, Steve!

[@toddboyer147]

Thanks Davvy, I love you’re videos. You are one of my favorite KZbinrs that in courage me to be a better guitar player. Thanks.

[@lifelongfan07]

Interesting that after 3 years, I’m finally watching this. I didn’t realize after listening to Jack Straw, how many chords are in this song! Bob Weir is a genius!

[@Prince.Hamlet]

thank you very much for the lesson, I’m a new subscriber! Chilling here in Novato going to take a bike ride to Olympali this weekend. yeeeeeee

[@DalyVideo]

Nice song selection. Thanks Davvy! I once heard this tune while an eagle was flying above me exactly when bobby sang that line. surreal.

[@TobyDavvy]

That’s incredible. Crazy how things sync up like that in the best moments.

[@johnbehrman6617]

Davvy you had me at the Bm to D but that's what my ears heard. Great lesson. Fun teacher. Thank you Bro.

[@alabamatubers]

Outstanding! Great mix of song breakdown, theory, & humor; all connecting with Jerry’s emotion. Thank you Davvy!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thank YOU for the support, mark!

[@liambrotmann78]

Best channel on this platform🔥🔥🔥 My dad realy wants me to learn Terrapin Station.... and i will only learn it from Davvy

[@TobyDavvy]

That’s high praise. We will not let father down.

[@gregfeldman8591]

Hi Davvy, greetings from Orange County, CA - been playing these incorrectly for quite a while. Thank you sharing the results of what I would guess took quite a while to figure out. .

[@Donny_A]

Thanks for the lesson! It does not matter one way or another but I would have suggested that the chorus is the pre chorus and the bridge is the chorus. 😂

[@elsquibbs]

This is the best Jack Straw tutorial or there. I just discovered this channel and I love it already. Thanks for the great content.👨‍🦱🌾 💀🌹

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks for joining the fam!

[@thomaskotch4770]

Great lesson Davvy

[@boomerdell]

Superbly done, as always, Davvy!

[@tfsgroi]

Amazing! Thanks man! Keep em coming!

[@ericbarnett9864]

One of my favorite tunes as well.

[@pr3ttyart754]

Dude your the man Davvy. And KZbin totally had you listed with 3.2 M at one point last week after I subscribed. I heard it come up in the chat during one of your live streams.

[@martinherve2688]

Thanks , great lesson ! 🙂

[@brazilhead]

Man these lessons are AWESOME! I laugh my ass off and learn a bunch too. Thanks bro!

[@TobyDavvy]

I’m stoked that they work. My whole plan is to make you learn while you laugh.

[@johnbehrman6617]

Nice to see and accomplished guitarist with ears.

[@gdogus]

So great, as always. Please keep doing what you do so well!

[@rhamm4014]

This guy is an F-ing legend! Keep up the great work!

[@bwmohner]

Super cool lesson, thanks! Was the lead/solo in E mixolydian?

[@outtasightouttamind6263]

This is way easier than it sounds bless u sir

[@daacrusher2001]

You guys have the best channel on KZbin...

[@TobyDavvy]

Only because we have the best mfers watching it!

[@elmorebaggins8586]

Love you’re tutorials !

[@themusicinpeteshead]

Great lesson, especially for us that use instinct instead of theory.

[@Skinned_Knees]

Nice lead! Could you possibly go over the thought process for how you approached your lead? Thanks!

[@robertschryver2948]

Cool lesson You’re a cool and funny person Cheers!!

[@nickysecrets]

Damn bro I love the way you break down all the time in the good thing when you bring them coming Scarlet Begonias please

[@chaselampert1617]

Davy: Great stuff. Lessons are Eggsellent!!!!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks, Chase!

[@tommuir4313]

Thanks man. Learning so much through this channel and improving the playing big time! No bridge graphic? Lol.

[@TobyDavvy]

I couldn’t in good conscience use the bridge graphic for a “not a real bridge” bridge. It just didn’t feel right.

[@tommuir4313]

@@TobyDavvy haha figured... quick question - I realized I have a copy of logic pro x (got for son few years ago)... I opened and had no idea where to start - Toby or you have suggestions on quickly learning this beast to create backing tracks, etc.? Thanks man.

[@johnbogaczyk24]

One of my favorite Dead tunes ..... thanks Davvy ! Really enjoyed listening to you ...... Maybe you could share a little more info on how you solo over the " bridge" ( ha ha ) Pentatonic in ? , Mixolidian in ? , or whatever it is , for us beginners!

[@TobyDavvy]

I’m usually soloing in E maj mixo for this one, bro bro

[@zacharythomason9368]

Brother man!!! I absolutely love your shit. Much love!!

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks, fam!

[@Aaron-cy7oo]

Are you guys gonna do Truckin and Foolish Heart?

[@juanjinho1]

awesome work, cristal clear, thnx!!!

[@MattRependa]

Great lesson -- Davvy delivers again!

[@wehaveasituation]

Hey thanks. I had for some reason thought Jack Straw was a really tricky tune, but you laid it out all nice and easy. How about Lost Sailor or Weather Report?

[@TobyDavvy]

I’ve already got the rest of the year planned out, but those two are definitely on the list for the nearish future. Thanks for being a part of the fam, homie.

[@maxcamplese]

Hey could we possibly get a lost sailor/SoC lesson?? Would love it!

[@VixCrush]

I love all your licks and soloing over this. There are some other people online who break it into Bobby voicings and then a jerry part but the whole thing with the Dead is a song is a world of its own a place you go to and the exact voicings are not even the point..

[@TobyDavvy]

This guy gets it.

[@ingohofferbert228]

Im from germany 😮 Youve to come to germany with your deadband ... I think its good for sure ..... ;-)

[@Prince.Hamlet]

solo at end is sweeeet

[@ashleytaylor6770]

Tanx brother I’m sooooooooo stoked to have found you your da prince to my frog lol

[@gavinb144]

Best episode so far!

[@TobyDavvy]

Preesh, Gavin

[@christurner2398]

Nice. I love suspending my E. Scratching my Dead itch all over on a weekly basis, but I've got a Zappa rash coming on, do you have anything to help with that?

[@TobyDavvy]

I’d totally be down to go over some Zappa stuff on the live streams.

[@wonderhide]

So good so fun

[@aaronmartin9204]

Man!!! I have an old Aria pro from late 80s. I've never seen another one :)

[@TobyDavvy]

Hell yeah! I love this guitar. It has served me very well.

[@BandidoBasuro1864]

Tell me a story bout a time you ate some good paper and it impacted your heart and soul, man.

[@gratefulbeer8689]

nice lesson, thanks !

[@TobyDavvy]

Thanks for being a part of the fam, Todd!

[@rancho7022]

One of my faves. Niiiiicccceee

[@TobyDavvy]

Aw hell yeah

[@thomashamilton914]

Oh hell yeah this one should be awesome!

[@TobyDavvy]

I hope you dig it, homie!

[@VixCrush]

So some requests for songs: Picasso moon, Foolish heart, Bucket, Dupree's, Bombs away (I know it is random).

[@TobyDavvy]

I love all of these! I’ll definitely move a couple up the list

[@edgeeckert4613]

Could someone possibly tab the G chord that he plays?

[@SuperNickAnthony]

I dig the videos. Just a heads up though, that "sus" is short for suspended. You're suspending the chord with the major 4.

[@TobyDavvy]

Correct. I misspoke. It happens.

[@SuperNickAnthony]

@@TobyDavvy fact! Keep on rocking!

[@2000jpangburn]

God damn. That’s a lot tougher than I expected. Great great song though.

[@TobyDavvy]

You got this, dawg. Just crack out on it. Get it down. It’s just repetitionz

[@MrGroot-nh2ny]

Hiiii DAVVVVVY missed ya. Let’s roll fam.

[@rassputton]

the first 10 seconds were gold.

[@CorbittosCasa]

Brother I fucks with your energy! Keep doing the great work!

[@TobyDavvy]

Preesh, fam! Keep watching, And I’ll keep making them

[@philipgibson9091]

Ive been watching a few weeks....who's Dave....an alter ego or a real life flesh person? My apologies Dave if ive just missed you or if your'e the camera/ computer dude

[@TobyDavvy]

I’m the guy teaching you the lessons. Toby makes other videos on the channel.

[@owenmarchell6286]

A bridge is a bridge if you want it to be a bridge

[@TobyDavvy]

Wise words from a wise man.

[@roycepaulmueller8312]

Could you do a Gomorrah guitar lesson? That’d be swell.

[@TobyDavvy]

Gomorrah will be coming soon, my friend!

[@lenny3804]

Wish these were a little more dumbed down like where do I put me fingers dawg

[@laruelucky]

I think he means “suspended 4th”, not sustained.

[@TobyDavvy]

Yeah bro, I’m just a person. I get to misspeak sometimes.

[@laruelucky]

@@TobyDavvy no worries. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@raymondbrucehansel3119]

Just to let you know there is no such thing as a SUSTAINED chord in western music. What there is a SUSPENDED (suspension) chord. i.e. Asus4 Asus2 Check Wikipedia or other places like music theory for the clairificastion.

[@TobyDavvy]

Just to let YOU know, I know. Sometimes when the camera is on, you misspeak. Just the way it is. Just like you misspelled “clarification”. Get it? Cool. Be good out there, homie.

[@thepowerfulpills4067]

Suspended 4th not sustained.

[@CustomTele52RI]

Sorry - not really very close. Timing is off on the intro, for starters.

[@stevoreno6266]

gave dave 4.99 cause the .99 cent store was closed Skipped across the street to a tune so fine Women and children cried as they watched the winged bird fly Ok thats lame but who cares? Its all over now

[@sirbergersworth]

Suspended.

[@TobyDavvy]

Intended

[@sirbergersworth]

Intentionally intentious

[@marcsullivan7987]

“Suspended”. (Not “sustained”

[@TobyDavvy]

Check the other comments bro. Already been over this.

[@marcsullivan7987]

@@TobyDavvy Thanks I loved the lesson and your sense of humor. (I don’t usually read through a bunch of comments, so I was just dropping that observation. It may chance have come across dickish, but it wasn’t meant to. Keep on keepin on)

[@TobyDavvy]

You’re all good, homie! I didn’t take it that way. A few people in the comments gave me shit about it when the video dropped. It is what it is. I smoke, so I misspeak and forget things sometimes.

[@kevincharles9159]

Who are the two A-holes that thumbs-downed this? Must’ve been accidental.

[@Flavum]

Fun stuff, but it's "release videos", not "drop videos". Thanks.

[@TobyDavvy]

I drop videos all over this channel like a dump truck

[@MrGroot-nh2ny]

I’m the big brother damnit. Is this a Bobby gay cowboy song

[@TobyDavvy]

Nah, more like El Paso and Mexicali. Those are the other two in the Gay Cowboy Quadrilogy

[@kevinminor9946]

You can't teach with all those pedals on. Flanger chorus whatever. It sounds nothing like the jack Straw intro.

[@MichaelJoshuaWilliams]

“I can’t learn with all those pedals on” I fixed it for you.

[@danielhutchinson7115]

Well my first time upon your Continent , but in that fraction of a fickle Fart I've noticed you're close to being as Goofey as I am ... So break it on down and give that 4 bucks and rings big dog cause I don't wish to have to turn you in for lack of empathy. But forgiveness can take many physical Forms... Those lyrics on the mirrors is a new prolific irrational method .... It burnt my eyes to see. Burns is on going . And I do believe this is written in a past occurrence factor . But wonderful instruction as long as one can de Construct the genius of the merge of Hunter and Weir . You're easily in some of the shows I went to See??? But are you old enough to have been a the Vegas Shows in 6/94 at Sam Boyd as I recall there being Avatars showing me the same Progressing s or relapses to the schedadllee . Happy across the Deserts where women and wine were shared and then dialectical precision of the reaction my heart Tolls For it Tolls for Thee. Because I Am My Brothers Keeper. In your Behalf.
