    Davvy, life has assigned you as my Grateful Dead teacher and how groovy is that. I've been playing Touch Of Grey since the early 90's and it has been really fun to sing and play at parties, bar b ques, gatherings ect. ect. because people know the song. The only hitch is trying to remember that dang bridge in the middle of the song. Always that dreaded bridge. The most fun I've had singing Touch was at a bar in San Francisco during karaoke time when the whole bar went nuts during the song. (Amazing feeling!). Anyway thanks as always man. Your videos bring such joy.

    Thanks for getting me into the ball park.
    Except for the solo at the end this song, it should be doable with a few hours practice.
    Like you said, you have to work for it.

    Davvy, just wanted to let you know I appreciate your gracious demeanor, your inspirational motivation, and your wry, understated sense of humor. I came hear to find a note for note explanation of the solo to the song, and I didn't get that, but I did find a strange sense of enlightenment and encouragement, and for that I am eternally grateful sensei.

    You my fn boy davey! Doin the lords work out here teaching people to play the best music ever.
    I’m ngl tho I always ignore you when you like to do a little thing your own way - I be doin the thang my own way bcuz nobody tells me how to feel my vibes davey. But I appreciate those little nuggets. I don’t trust your tabs anymore tho man, you b gettin high af halfway thru transcribing them you just start writing random numbers I swear. You f’d me up with your intro tab on brown eyed women, that’s too many fn 12’s davey, and your stoner chord chart in ship of fools made me R worded. But that’s okay nobody has any business playing the deads music if they need their hand held-you’re doin the lords work out here thanks davey.

    @jasonbrown6113 3 года назад

    It's probably not surprising that this is the first Dead song I ever learned to play, but it's kind of surprising as it never did much for me. But then when the Rhino version of Built To Last came out with the '82 studio rehearsal bonus track I LOVED that version and learned to play it. At the time it was also the only Dead song that sounded like something I could actually play, though it took me a while to get that bridge right. It's still the version I like to jam along to, and it's nice because Jerry shouts Bridge before the bridges so you can't miss it. Even if you don't need it, it's fun. Plus the guitars are easier to hear for me in that one.

    I used to play it at the nut using the B and F# etc but have found it much easier (being as I only play acoustic) capoed at the 2nd fret. But I do a modified lick for the chorus instead of the badass Jerry lick. I always wanted to get that under my fingers tho...(someday, lol). Thx for the lessons

    It would be helpful to do Bob Weir's guitar part because from available footage on YT, he doesn't play what you and I would recognise as regular chord shapes. I believe Bob has a reputation of playing unfashionable chord shapes way up the neck. Just the intro alone has had me scratching my head because from available footage Bob is playing some strange chord shapes from the 6th fret to the 11th fret.

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  3 года назад +3

      Honestly, I’m more focused on teaching everyone the basic outline of the tune. Not always gunna teach the specific way they play chords unless it’s absolutely necessary. There’s a guy on RUclips that teaches just bob stuff, maybe check him out.
