Listening to isolated tracks of Bobby makes on thing clear, Bobby is highly underrated. His contributions made the Grateful Dead such a phenomenal band.
I dont think its this person doing it, I think small pieces of this sort of thing have been released over the years. Not that an audio expert isolated it themselves. could be wrong.
Learn your inversions. He never plays a bar chord or an open chord if he can help it. Play a C chord. Now move the whole thing up 2 frets. Including the open notes. I.E a D in tab form would be E - X A - 5 (pinky finger) D - 4 (ring finger) G - 2 (first finger) B. - 3 (middle finger e - 2 (first finger) Slide this whole chord up and down. You’ll notice it sounds like something BW would play. Try this with other chords, especially G. They’re tricky to get your fingers round, but his style makes a bit more sense when you do it. He has lots of other little tricks and 2-3 note chords he seemingly pulls from nowhere. That would take a bit more study of his hands from your part.

Spongiest tone in the world. Love it
Amazing Just Amazing....⭐⭐⭐⭐
Remember that Bob is playing this while also handling lead vocals. Impressive.
Beautiful pass Bobby
Can you please do one of these for birdsong from the same show? Thanks
Nice
You should do the rest of the show. I'd love to hear the different parts in Bird Song

What do you call these kinds of little slight chords he's always throwing in? Are these bar chords? I want to learn to do this lol.
In short triads, although there’s a lot more to it than that Jeff Williams has some great videos on Bobby’s style and parts.
