    I’ve seen conflicting things on where the chorus goes d-c-d or d-g-d for the first line and it’s bothering me. Any help?

    It might be an interesting side note to point out the liberty the dead took with the chords in the chorus. Haggard played a straight 1-4-5 sequence and the dead stick that C in there which is not even in the key of D but it sounds great. I heard their version long before I heard Merle’s and then wondered why he was playing it wrong!

    Awesome, thanks. Can't wait to get this progression saved in my loop pedal.
    One suggestion would be to mention what key or mode to play in during leads.
    Would also be helpful to get some of the licks down, in addition to the tabs just a mention "Hey, this intro is basically D major pentatonic in position whatever".

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for the input, Eric. I genuinely appreciate it. That’s how we grow as a community. I’ll work on implementing these things. But as a basic rule of thumb, any Jerry style solo is going to be mixo or pentatonic while also following what chord is being played.

    A troubled man went to the doctor. He said: "Doctor, doctor- it hurts when I do 'this'". The wise Doctor said: "Well, then don't do that". I'm glad to hear your next 3 will be Jerry tunes. I never got to hear "So Many Roads" live when Jerry was with us. I did see Further do a kick-ass one on 3/3/10 in Chicago. Meanwhile, I'll be Sitting Here in Limbo waiting for One More Saturday Night in September. You post those Flashback Flix, you get monitized. Beats construction, especially Built to Last. P.S. Blues for Allah is Phrygian. I'm just sayin'. . .

      I gave him his props in the video. But I was teaching the Grateful Dead version. That’s why it’s setup like that. Don’t take offense on his behalf, these are Dead lessons so they’re all going to say that, but I will always give the original performer/ writer a shout out and let folks know where it came from. But it will always say what bands version I’m covering on the By line.

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  4 года назад

      Yessir, Mesa Nomad 55. I don’t like it as much as my old Mesa Blue Angel, but it gets the job done.
      The guitar is a 1982 Aria Pro ii Cardinal Series, with some cosmetic and internal upgrades. I love that guitar. Extremely versatile.
      And thanks, it’s a bit unintentional. Im experimenting with running direct out from the back of the Mesa into my interface to improve my audio quality and cut down on room noise. So you lose a bit of that natural tone and it sounds a bit “digital”, which I hate. Idk, I’m figuring it out. Thanks for being here.
