  • In this lesson, we look at Bob Weir's rhythm guitar parts on "Help On The Way". "Help On The Way" was first performed on June 17, 1975 during the band's hiatus (but this version was instrumental).
    The song was never regular in the repertoire, and went through three eras: The first era was between 1975 and 1977. The second era was 1983-1985. It returned again in 1989 and was then performed every year through June 1995. In total, "Help" was performed just over 100 times. On all of these occasions Help On The Way was followed by the instrumental "Slipknot!" . "Franklin's Tower" usually (but not always) followed "Slipknot!".

    Bob Weir.. most underrated rhythm guitar player of any American Rock band. The phrasing!!!! I just can't get enough, even after all these years. Craig, thanks for showing us all the nuances that we may not hear clearly in the recordings or SBD. You really are something special!! Be well!

    I really enjoy your videos. You have the leanest videos for the most complicated things and I REALLY appreciate that although your video notation and finger presentations are VERY specific and well orchestrated, you are still all about the song and very little about the video. THANK YOU. KEEP BEING YOU. there's too many "hey guys" guys and "Um" guys and "please subscribe" guys these days. You're a water hole oasis in a desert. cheers!

      It may feel like that, but there's something in that video that you can play. Take something you like that seems doable (eg. maybe the octaves part) and learn it. If you learn one thing you didn't know before it'll be worth it. Then you can come back later and learn something else. Eventually, you'll be able to do a lot more than you think!

    Bobby is the best example of just throwing someone in the pool who can’t swim. He figured it out his own way.

    Craig I was wondering do you know what Bobby does with the slide in Althea. What he does in that song is masterful but I have no idea. Anyway, great video. Still the best in the game
