my brother loved Grateful Dead and he jammed this song on the guitar all the time. Learning it in his memory and this video made it really easy. Thank you.
Came across this channel a few weeks ago! Great stuff and I have learned more Dead tunes in that time due to the interactiveness and commentary, as well as good times! You are definitely making me realize the cage shapes are key. Thanks for the great lessons - subscribed and looking forward to learning the lot.
Hey love your channel. Mary from the Great State of Maine.... First tuned in on your Friday Night Show. My Friends and I were sitting around eating Gerry Garcia Ice Cream when I clicked on it. Since then have had some fun Friday Nights otherwise bored to tears... Always requested Peggy O... and you are always kind enough to oblige. Thank you sharing your talent , your music , your Gerry , your joints , your drinks , your riffs , your tiff's - no ? ok then .... ALL your unusual knowledge - your whacked but clever sense of humors. Lessens the boredom and blahs up North here in the Great State of Maine ! As you all were!
i was in the middle of learning ramble on rose from you when this notification popped up haha I'm pretty familiar with deal but ill definitely give this a look next. Thanks for the commitment to the channel, it is extremely helpful. Freaking hilarious btw hahaha
Haha, luckily I’m not doing them in chronological order. I’m planning on doing the huge songs (shakedown, terrapin, help/slip, estimated) when we hit subscriber milestones.
Davvy Gravvy, thanks for the instruction and the levity. Gawd I love it. I vote for “When the hunter gets captured by the game” and “Russian Lullaby “. Although, I do find the word “Russian” a bit irksome these days. Maybe you could change it to Ukrainian. That might be difficult for you though. What to hell. Thanks for helping me spend a few hours between shifts in this hotel room. Keep up the good work.
I only stumbled across your site a few days ago I and I ❤it. You said you don’t do many Bob Weir songs, but the first song I viewed here was Sugar Magnolia (written by Weir with lyrics by Robert Hunter (of course)). My suggestion is a simple acoustic song, but show us the correct way to play ‘Ripple’.
how are people so polarized? Why seek absolutes in songs with hundreds of recorded versions? I'm not going out of my head because you don't like the screamer versions, just as I'm not going out of my head that you make no mention of the second solo that replaced it. They're deceptively simple tunes that are hard to teach at more than a surface level, especially the soloing ideas of Deal (well, the first solo at least). You seem to pitch your teaching at about the chordal understanding of '7th-land' and I think a lot of your viewers will really appreciate that, because they are likely newer to theory and just want to be able to play a few tunes for friends, not take the show on the road. Appreciate your content man.
I like your show. Was disappointed in this one. I thought you would have gone over Jerry’s soloing philosophy on the verse. I knew the lick and chords, just unsure exactly how to attack the verse solo. Anyway, my intention isn’t to make you feel bad, I like your show and appreciate your humor. But I felt like it was missing that critical component which I feel is Jerry’s mastery over a chord progression that isn’t very straight forward to solo over. I’d like to see one on Lazy River Road if that’s on your list.
You should just play the song thru and let people figure out the picking pattern. That’s how we all did it before the internet. But you gotta great guitar sound there!
Always impressed with how people figure out the chords, but wow the vocals are terrible.. and i even include John Mayer with the vocal issues.. it’s not his true voice
Bro, Im not shitting on late 70s. I was making fun of Bob and Donna's screaming matches. Which were notoriously awful. Everyone knows late 70s was the best.
@@TobyDavvy I saw the Dead with Donna and Kieth around 8 or 9 times. And yes that number is fuzzy and don't ask. And I completely agree she was not a talent. Still the 70's was a special time in history. Some things will never happen again.

Years later, I still really cannot believe they let that deal go down 🤔😮🤯
I'm glad I found this channel. This is great. You gotta do Loose Lucy, the 90s version.
We're glad you found the channel too, bro! And yes! Loose Lucy is on the List!

As you all were!
That was a fun 20 minutes! Have no idea how i stumbled on to this page but I hit your subscribe and I hope it helps. Cheers, homie!!!!
Thanks for the support, fam! You the man!
Nice lesson. I got it first watch. Rock on dude
You da man. Thank your for all your videos. Learning so much. Aight.
Thank you!! Looking to learn some great dead songs
Love what you do!!! Thanks for the help- and Im not letting the Deal go down!

Get used to it, homie. A GD lesson every week forever. FOREVER. Or at least until I’ve done a lesson on every single one. Even the covers.
@@TobyDavvy Looking foward to it brother Forever Grateful
Haha, luckily I’m not doing them in chronological order. I’m planning on doing the huge songs (shakedown, terrapin, help/slip, estimated) when we hit subscriber milestones.
Iv learned tons of dead songs from . You I was hoping to revisit this lesson for ideas on were to play the lead on deal .
You do a nice job with these. It's tough play at speed, slow down and instruct.
I do t teach people how to play guitar. I show people how to play Dead tunes.
Thanks so much for this video, so excited to learn how to play one of my favorite Dead songs 💀
This video helped me to learn how to play the song! Thank you for this! Any videos on Jerry’s envelope filter guitar playing sound?
Took me a F’ing year to come back around and finally get this down 🥳 shit tons of fun …Again grassy azz my Southern BBQ’ed GURU ✌️

I always stop here. I really enjoy watching you. I wonder if you learned all these songs by ear? Garcia is about the best out there.

This is amazing. Im jonesing for a solo lesson Davvy. Pretty please
Love this channel!
Wavey plz tell me how to get that tone what I need thanks pard!!!
Amazing 👍 this was the song that got me into GD,im not sure though if I can learn it just yet 🤔🥶
To me it seems like this song is in the Key of A, starts in A ends in A, 3 sharps. Why do some people say its in D?
Damn good-Thanks!
You the man Davvy
Ever play the intro part finger picking like Jerry was doing in the later years?
Nah, I’m not the best at finger picking. Jerry finger pick isn’t the easiest either since he was missing a finger.

You hit the nail on the head, homie. Thanks for being part of the family.
I think you put an extra c# in the second half of the intro that I don't see you play...right before the 5,4,2 walk down....or am I just crazy
Man, it’s very possible. I shot this lesson like a year ago, so I don’t remember at all, haha
Do you have a favorite live recording of Deal, or one you base your playing off of when performing live?
The Cornell ‘77 version is like gospel to me.
@@TobyDavvy So is the 2/13/70 but then either one is so very good
Daaayveee
There was a claymatic show when I was young that had a dog whos owner's name was Daaayyveee, The dog always said "Daaayvie"...

Playing for the stoners…i got that lick first time in 20 years
High time
You got it

Yeah, man. These first lessons are rough. My bad. Lmao.
I lost some respect for you when shat on late 1970's Dead. Those were the golden years. Clearly they were feeling the music more.

@@TobyDavvy am partial to 1970 - 74... was a quieter scene....
