Jeff? Remember when you had 200 subscribers? And I was one of them? Look at ya now! Great vid buddy.

This is so kind of you to share this kind of top quality analysis thank you man, this is priceless for anyone wishing to improvise better I hope you reach the hearts of many ❤

[@jimmirow]

Im so glad you mentioned 80's, 90's and JGB. I was lucky to be emblazened from the sounds he made from that time. Decades of me playing helps but when someone like yourself so accuratetly puts words to these skillsets he (Jerry) would use helps a bunch for someone like me who knows hardly anything about the theory of it. Of course I want to jump right in and sign up. Thank you for sharing your discoveries and having the challenge available to us.

Great video, Jeff! I really appreciate you taking the time to break down Jerry's soloing.

[@MustafaBaabad]

Thanks for sharing what you have discovered from your journey. From what you explained, it seems like Jerry is not rigidly stuck with the scale. Instead, he used it as skeleton but he used many notes adjacent to the notes on the scale. Cheers from Indonesia.

what an amazing video Jeff. Well done!!!!

If I remember Jerry was in a coma in 86? And had to relearn the guitar

[@jamescurtis8584]

Damn Jeff this was a heater! Great video thanks man!

[@Illumignostic]

In reference to what you said about Jerry's 70's vs 90's playing...I think of it as pre and post coma. Pre come, he had a fiery, bluesy, quality that, at it's best (think Caution from 72 @Wembly, or Hard to Handle from Phil Zone) surpassed everyone. POst coma....that was gone. Like...utterly. His string bends were pretty much all awkward sounding, often flat, stiff, etc. But...he had an otherworldy, angelic quality that was far beyond anything from his precoma years. It's like when Gandalf the Grey was killed by the demon, and came back as Gandalf the White.

Very informative .. thank you !

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

No prob!

[@roccofiori]

appreciate all the work you, and your team, put into producing your teaching content. can we take the hint that dire wolf and other tunes will soon be available in your catalog of offerings?

[@whiskersb5296]

No. 10 came the closes to one that I would add- play rhythmically, almost percussively, make it funky. It’s not smooth and creamy, it’s bouncy and playful.

[@RobHollanderMusic]

He discovered he had no personal life.

[@bobsykes]

This is a fantastic video, but I think how it really works is... Jerry is a fantastic songwriter, and he could make his guitar sing his songs for him. I think it's that simple.

[@marley8782]

Awesome vid Jeff been watching you for years. I’m in music school and my professors say the same thing. Transcribing is the most valuable thing you can do. Are you in a dead band? Just wondering, would be a shame if not!

[@oghash4912]

Sub-scribed 😂🎉👏

[@Illumignostic]

Jerry basically used a drug addiction based formula. The constant chromaticism, and the equivalent rythymic dynamism, the constant tension and release, gets the ear “strung out.” It’s almost like adding heaps of sugar to a dessert or a soda. Not taking anything away from him, but it was, in my opinion, a calculated formula that was deliberately engineered to get people addicted to the Grateful Dead. His mo was basically to play every passing tone at every opportunity, and the above is why. (As I was typing this you started talking about Garcia ending on the root. Worse, he would often start phrases on the root of the change; a mortal sin…except that Phil often didn’t play the root on the changes, like literally every other bass player.)

[@MM-rr1kp]

eh took a look and I appreciate the effort you put into this but man his sound remains completely uninteresting. their whole catalog is as well.

[@newusernamehere4772]

Was ready to rip you apart for your music taste but saw you were listening to Charlie Parker etc. Grateful Dead is the least steeped in traditional music of all Jerry's projects. If you listened to Jerry Garcia Band, Jerry with Merl Saunders, Howard Wales or almost any other project he did im sure you would appreciate it.
