One thing you can do on that C* is just pull off your middle finger on the D string and let it ring open for 1 strum then back on to a C. Super easy and sounds pretty good. Thanks for the lesson!

[@rassputton]

I've always opted for a Bb where the C* is called out here. A lot of good passing tones available here I think, but that one always sounded good to me.

[@notorioustampaton]

Fun fact; Fennario is actually the old Scottish word for a region called Fife (where I’m originally from). Peggy-O which references Fennario was at one time called “The Bonnie Lass O’ Fyvie” or “The Maid Of Fife”. The name Weir also comes from Fife. One time during the 2000s Bob Weir and Ratdog played at the Kirkcaldy ice rink, which is around the area the name Weir would have originated. It’s also the town I was born in.

So happy about these acoustic lessons!!!! Good stuff Davvy!

[@kerryc.7438]

Thanks for the tutorial, you inspired me to dig out the geetar out of the closet 2 weeks ago , between this one and the “Easy Wind” video that’ll probably keep me busy through the summer 😅

[@maxwellscurlock5091]

Thanks!

[@Bacomonk]

The eloquently described "oooOOoOahHhHh" feeling from sneaking in the F# step-up in the verse is perfect for the murder theme

[@oddtoddlermusic6786]

Hey how bout you don't fuckin murder me. I laughed pretty hard right when this one started.

[@stevenfisher2609]

Literally most entertaining channel. I said it again!! Thank you!

[@curtsawyer663]

Thanks for the great lesson, Davvy!!

[@anthonybrakus5280]

Bro... I almost puked from laughing so hard at that pic of Ted Cruz next to the police sketch of the zodiac killer... He's got that stupid grin, like he knew he was posing for a comparative shot with the sketch.🤣😂 Oh, man, that wrecked me. I gotta watch it again.🙉🙈🙊

[@doobis9356]

Thank you for doing this one! No one else has done a good one on youtub

[@conorkettle7428]

Hey Davvy, LOVE your videos, I’ve watched nearly all of the play dead stuff but would fuckin love more acoustic lessons. Also a request very dear to me (although not an acoustic lesson)is the dead’s version of ‘I’m a hog for you’ the version off of the skull and roses reissue from like 2003 I think, they haven’t released the song any other time I’m pretty sure. Would love a lesson on that if you have the time bro. Much love from Ireland

[@danielcunningham93]

By far the best person and tutorials for the dead but when he says "pretty easy right" I died a little inside

[@PeacefulNotes93]

My favorite grateful dead teacher! Yuusss

[@LeannaHeiman-nh5oe]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I play the ukulele, but this helped me in coming up with my own arrangement. Even better, you made me laugh a few times. 😂

[@brandonvalentine2555]

YESS SIR love you davvy keep it up!

[@joshleal5219]

Always a hoot!

[@marcsullivan7987]

Thanks for your generous postings. I wouldn’t call that a Caugmented (and augmented chord has a raised 5) That’s a Cadd9 (if you’re adding a d)

[@TobyDavvy]

When I typed it into google, that’s what it told me to do. You can’t win them all.

[@broken1394]

Cool lesson and a great song. Never heard the background befote. ⚘

[@bikebum2006]

At 15:06 there is a walk-down I can't figure out. Looks like its on the d string?

[@AustinPierce7526]

Im just here for the “BRIDGE!!!’”

[@jaredwolfsen5809]

Was hoping you had done the electric version in E but still a good lesson.

[@adirondacktrekking1972]

Thanks brother ,great lesson ✌️

[@jonathanfarris7777]

davvy davvy, you are the man!

[@grezzmunke]

Wharf Rat acoustic style??? Please please please !!! Lol. Thanks for all the drops!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@MrNvona]

In my opinion, the finest performance of this song is 7/8/78 Red Rocks

[@briano.1503]

Thank you Davvy! I'm lookin' for some help with Wharf Rat. I've been faking my way through it for hundreds of years. It's time to get it right!!! Can you enlighten me on this subject? ✌💀👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸❤

[@smokepirate8094]

Hell yeah Davvy!

[@hayes823]

Thanks you

[@justinb5553]

Could you please show me how to play Roadrunner by jgb?

[@unclchunk]

Youre a fkn saint. Just givin it away. Thanks bro!!!

[@Robert-x2u9e]

How are you playing the B flat

[@RichardPepe-h7w]

you're awesome bro..

[@BananaBandito1864]

Maaan I wish the Dead did more acoustic. Yall frog humpers ever heard of the ol Ozark Mountain Devils? Now thems some boys. Thanks, Davy. Your heady energy permeates through my Babylon issued brain melting cell phone and makes it right to my heart. Jah Bless.

[@skylerbaughman6850]

i die every time the bridge comes around 😭😭😭

[@skylerbaughman6850]

3:21

[@andrewmodell5889]

So how do you run a pa through a computer ? CAN ya help me out how do you do that ?

[@TobyDavvy]

My board has a multitrack USB coming out of the back so it just plugs straight into my computer. Try looking those up on Amazon or eBay.

[@justinhostetler7721]

Hey Davvy, Jman here asking if you could lmk the best amp I could purchase for just at home jamming. I just got a Takamine thinline acoustic/electric and need a amp to bring out those sounds I know this baby can produce. Thanks bud and as always I app-re-she-ate cha' and all that u do.

[@TobyDavvy]

If you’re just gunna be jamming on the acoustic, an acoustic amp would be best. Something that has some reverb and tone shaping. The ACOUSTIC A20 is pretty good and pretty cheap.

[@jacoblivingston4330]

I love u Davy

[@unclchunk]

I assume the skipped verses are just played like the 1st? 1) When I awoke the dire wolf... 2) In the backwash of Fennario...

[@superchamp44]

You can do it that way but I think if you are playing along with a recording like on Reckoning, the "when I awoke" and "the wolf came in" versus are actually the same. Yes the Timbers.. and Backwash... (first and last) are the same. You can also think of this song with 3 different verse varieties, no bridge (even though Davy's bridge thing is hilarious every time).

[@robertrohde6281]

More acoustic stuff please 🙏✌️

[@reidnorton6794]

Haha…I’m pretty sure being the zodiac killer would be too much work for Ted Cruz.

[@matthewicicle7911]

Dank

[@koryray77966]

Yeah duddddeee!

[@durk9507]

Yes yes yes

[@MrGroot-nh2ny]

Yes yes yes yes yes

[@Hortron69]

Has anybody seen the bridge?

[@MasDingos]

where's that confounded bridge?

[@phukgewgle8181]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

[@xxkmax730]

Is it just me or did you leave out the lines "when I awoke the dire wolf 600 lbs of sin.........come on in"?

[@xxkmax730]

Also the black and muddy mire, wolf collects his dues while the lads sing round the fire. Obviously you omitted these purposely but why? In the name of keeping the video shorter?

[@TobyDavvy]

I teach the sections of the songs, there’s no need to go over the same chords again just because you wanna hear the lyrics.

[@VixCrush]

Whoaah. What happened to the dreads? Another few months and my hair will be longer than yours..

[@Geothermicguacamole]

Hey, just play the guitar

[@mathlover2299]

Zodiac is Ted Cruz!!!

[@jayhawkjb]

Intro is a little whack but close enough

[@johnbehrman6617]

Ha ha ha

[@UncleJuansBand]

You’re doing too much, I can’t. Sorry. *keeps scrolling*
