I was drinking beer trying to learn this song. Found this video, the best so far. You’re the dude

[@micahlong8186]

Thanks, man! Even though these videos are several years old, I always appreciate the vibes.

[@drewwesley23]

You play a mean guitar. I love your style. Thanks for the lesson!

[@micahlong8186]

Andrew, I love it. It’s important I get feedback like this. Thanks, man. Means a lot.

[@ericcollins1561]

[@PuppetsAndPuppeteers]

[@micahlong8186]

PuppetsAndPuppeteers, please send me a video! It would make my year.

[@PuppetsAndPuppeteers]

Micah Long i'm gonna post a video pretty soon i think! but this song has got my creativity going wild. i'm gonna try and get my buddy to help me with some rhythm so i can have a little extra fun with it haha

[@ladymeruy]

[@micahlong8186]

Marianela Silvia Naveda Oro , Gracias!!!!!

[@mma1st105]

I appreciate the lesson but the timing is so off. Maybe it's the booze lol Awesome song though

[@darinhill3773]

Interesting take on one of my favorite Dead songs. Love the Martin! Beat the hell out of it, they like it, I know..... Keep doing what you're doing!

[@Bobbalek]

Thank You so much. I've been trying to get it down, the last few weeks. Can't get that groove out of my head 😋

[@chase2032]

Love the energy man

[@micahlong8186]

Chase Dosa. Lol. Thanks. I am afraid I’m too tipsy.

[@ChiliGTC]

Very advanced for me, but man love the playing and the singing. Nice job!

[@markdel497]

EVERY guitar tutorial should model yours. Great Energy!

[@micahlong8186]

Thanks, Mark. Did you get it down?

[@michaelshearer3559]

not sure what the hell version this is, but you go man. rhythm devil

[@cliffsmith8755]

That was fun.

[@davidkozlowski6982]

Alternative title “My Drunk uncle tortures me with drunken jibber jabber and brags about his guitar” please don’t dominate the rap jack is the lesson here I believe

[@BradleyNagy]

This video is dumb. What an idiot 🤣

[@lloydclaussen9132]

Talk way too much, you lost me

[@mikesantiago4533]

I like that you take it and make it your own the structure is different than what is written but it works very easily

[@stuardlax2051]

A good lesson but your version takes the all the magic groove out of it. Slow it down.

[@micahlong8186]

Stuard Lax, it’s a fast version... just take from it what you can. Hope you learned something, and if you can arrange a slower version, go for it. I’d like to learn it.

[@elliottgolden2319]

thanks for the lesson! this was great :)

[@micahlong8186]

Thanks, bro.

[@oldaccount7287]

Any tips for making the hammer ons stand out a bit ?

[@TheGravygun]

Try dampening the strings with the palm of your hand and popping the strings opening closing them

[@pauldrohan9865]

This guy is awesome-the genuine article as a Dead Head. Any decent guitarist should be able to play E chord without the index finger... I'm just wondering why he does it here. Also he has his pinky on the treble e-string third fret during what he calls the G turn around but I'm wondering if he only strikes the Bass G?

[@johnsc14]

Great lesson. Your style jives with mine. I’ll get a lot of mileage out of this.

[@boragobekli7092]

Wow man, just great lesson

[@micahlong8186]

Bora Göbekli , thank you and thanks for subscribing! Enjoy.

[@alliebarnum5948]

God bless you for this. i will get it down... someday..

[@micahlong8186]

Allie Barnum, yes you will! Keep at it and most importantly, have fun. The rest will follow.

[@seantracy6829]

You’re the man

[@micahlong8186]

🥰😙☺️

[@BopWalk]

Great lesson on such a classic and nice sexy Martin guitar you got there

[@micahlong8186]

Thanks! It makes me happy that people are learning this song. It’s soooo much fun.

[@NB-ej1uh]

“You don’t need band practice ... I got kicked out of a band.” Saving this for later.

[@BretM]

This is a great tutorial man! Your jam thing is really cool and I've been trying it out-do you have any tips on getting the rhythm to it down? I've been getting somewhere close but it just doesn't sound right. I've been counting the strumming like DUDUDUD(Pause) but I'm not exactly sure where the hammer on part falls, down or up?

[@micahlong8186]

Thanks, Bret. I’d just start painfully slow. Build on it. Also, make mistakes. Sometimes you’ll like your mistakes and it’ll be a whole new way to play.

[@m.b.3363]

What a riot. Nice lesson 💀

[@micahlong8186]

Michael Bonvino LOL. Hope you mean it. I am getting some passive aggressive comments.

[@m.b.3363]

Micah Long I do brother. Played NSB with a bunch of your licks for my gf when she just got home. Looking forward to really getting this song dialed. This darkness got to give

[@CrippledPanda28]

You are making this world a better place my man! I love it. 30 seconds in I knew I had to grab a glass of bourbon and listen up

[@dreamwell2020]

That was a good deed there, man. You can be bad now.

[@micahlong8186]

Dreamwell LOL. Don’t mind if I do. Thank you. Means a lot.

[@jaredsoinila4617]

I know why you got kicked out of the band. You're all over the place. Focus Daniel-Son, focus!

[@VixCrush]

That guitar cost more than my car.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

They kicked me out of the band is a great Commander Cody song. And easy to play.

[@micahlong8186]

Jeff J I checked it out. I love it.

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

cool delivery sir :). diggin it. love ur style but i think you need to listen to the song again...... u playing it way to fast and the chords u use got a weird hic up rythem..... maybe u need a better Guitar ? jus kiddin :). hava good day n i am a subscriber.....

[@Hayden-sp1ol]

Too long dude....shorten up.cheers!

[@BradleyNagy]

Annoying af.

[@jakehamhock9909]

You shouldnt get drunk and try to do tutorials, your timing sucks and its hard to understand a word your saying

[@micahlong8186]

Thanks for the criticism. You seem to be the only one having trouble with the vid, however. I’m 2 weeks sober, BTW.

[@paulrouse7989]

Clean your ears out man... I can understand him just fine. Music and especially the gratefuldead music is about having fun with it and finding your own grove.
