    I’m going to work as I’m typing this. As soon as I get home tonight I’m learning this song. This is hands down one of my favorite dead tunes. I always look forward to Thursday’s because of your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing, homie.

    That coda or whatever you want to call it really is so beautiful. It’s strange to me that two major chords can have such aching beauty

    In the intro, you said 5-4, but tab appears to say 3-4.

    This is one of the best Half-Step solos I've ever heard...including the GD. so so so beautiful man.

    Man,I've noticed learning a lot of dead tunes go in and out of keys,borrowing chords, sec doms,etc.so creative and fun

    • @TobyDavvy

      When you really think about it, a lot of the stuff they did shouldn’t have worked. But boy, did it.

    this is, undoubtedly, my favorite dead song and I too cannot get over the key change. Gets me every fucking time, from the live recordings to the album. Your break at the end it so fire--definitely stealing some licks

    I love the channel, it's really perfect, it's helped me evolve on guitar, and I think you guys are really cool.
    Great job man.

    Ps: I used the translator so sorry for the mistakes.

    Ever since I heard the M 1/2 Step from 9/3/77 I've loved this song. Saw it many times and played air guitar to it. Covid got me to learn to play and I now have 2 feet (with my retreads) firmly planted in mediocrity. Now I'm breaking this down, because... that's what we do... lol. Thank you. When I hit those notes in a run nicely on my new Gretsch G5220, it's like hitting a nice golf shot. I THINK I CAN DO THIS. Back to breaking it all down...I am now subscribed.

    Davey, very well done, thank you. Suggestion. A bit more emphasis on the transitions between the various parts would be helpful. Creating the whole coordinated picture, if just by playing through it one time, would have been more helpful for me, anyway, than your entire solo at the end of the video.
    Two other things. Appreciate the story about the car wreck. In the area of NJ where I grew up, Rock and Rye was combining a shot of whiskey with a bottle of Rolling Rock Beer!

    So awesome man! One of the best Dead songs...you have some major Dead chops...did you geek out in high school or what? Love it man!!! Is that an A major pentatonic Jamal the end with chromatics mixed in or are you switching back and forth between A and D scales?
    Peace
    The more I fuck with it I guess it may be A mixo

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  4 года назад +3

      Thanks, Will! I dropped out of high school at 16 and hitch hiked around the country playing music on the street (originals, folk tunes, bob dylan, the dead, etc..) and I was blessed enough to have a strong friend group of deadheads and psychonauts. I’ve had a lot of experience playing and ingesting this music and the lifestyle over the years. And yes, it’s pentatonic, mixo and chromatic. It’s all three, usually is always all three. Maybe with a little Dorian here and there for spice.

    i’m a little lost on the Am|Am/maj7|Am7 what’s the fretting on that

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Год назад +1

      You’re basically doing a chromatic walk down on the d string from the 7th fret to the 5th fret all while keeping the a/a minor barre shape.
