    Great video. When anyone searches to learn a dead tune you'll be the one that ends up teaching them. That, my friend, puts you as part of the Dead story. I dig it. Thanks for doing the work

    Just replace "sustained" with "suspended" about 20times in the video, that been said, it's a pretty great lesson.

    Your lessons are great, Davvy - thank so much for putting the time into them each week. One specific thing I really appreciate as more of a newbie guitar player is that you show the actual construction of each chord. I'm sure experienced players prob don't even notice but it is so helpful to those of us learning the song and also different positions for various chords at the same time. So many youtube lessons don't have charts, are hard to see quite what's being played (too fast or not close enough), and are just referenced by name as if it's a given that the chord shapes are known. You do a great job explaining them - so thanks for that ! That said - here's a request: some kind of lesson on Scarlet-->Fire (either / both / transition) ideas would be amazing...

    I have been watch guitar/bass lessons on youtube for like ten years. And I have never until now felt any desire or compulsion to like or comment or generally participate.
    I stumbled on to You guys last week. and I gotta admit…. I think I’m a fanboy. I watched most of these lessons and I first few podcasts. I might just have to break my patrion cherry.

    But forgiveness can take many physical Forms...
    Those lyrics on the mirrors is a new prolific irrational method ....
    It burnt my eyes to see.
    Burns is on going .
    And I do believe this is written in a past occurrence factor .
    But wonderful instruction as long as one can de Construct the genius of the merge of Hunter and Weir .
    You're easily in some of the shows I went to See???
    But are you old enough to have been a the Vegas Shows in 6/94 at Sam Boyd as I recall there being Avatars showing me the same Progressing s or relapses to the schedadllee .
