    It’s so hard to believe it’s been over 25 years since he performed live for us. My heart still aches.

    One of the most beautiful songs ever written and the only teacher who could do it justice. Thank you, Ian.

      Perhaps the most beautiful song of all time (imo). Mr. Stich captures the feeling of this song very well, including the intentional "sour" notes that Jerry used. Just strumming the chords as shown in the Garcia/Hunter Songbook challenges my skill level so this lesson is beyond me; but it's still enjoyable. For a great solo version of this song check out Warren Haynes playing it at Bonnoroo.

    Oh my God, Im so excited. When Jerry sings 'Ive been to every blue light cheap motel' he is rising so high in that part of the song, just lifting off, its transcendent. This song is so beautiful, thanks Stich for putting this up, I cannot wait to watch it. I just need how to figure out how to attach money to my comment to throw you some cash, I promise to get that done at some point. I dont have any accounts linked to google, I promise to try. Your lessons are so helpful! and your taste in music is spot on. Have you done a Terrapin Station lesson?
    Cheers.

    You know what, just a little over half-way in, I made note of how you use the index finger twice in succession on the G string. A subtle move, but it will keep my left hand in a consistent position. Pentatonic and modal shred madness is nigh!

    I already learned something new within the first few minutes: a Dsus2 can be interpreted as an Asus4, cool!

    • @slingerace

    • @StichMethodGuitar
      @StichMethodGuitar  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It all depends on the root, in this case yes same notes as Dsus2, but we include the open A.... that bass note really adds to the flair of the Asus4 vs a Dsus2

    In case this is useful? I find myself focusing so closely on what you are teaching on the fretboard that sometimes the sounds of the phrases get a bit lost, because ‘my eyes are open wider than my ears’ 😊
    Perhaps it may be nice to turn the cam up above the fretboard, to help people like me ‘listen’ better at times?
    Love you!

  • @jakewaiters9221
    @jakewaiters9221 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm struggling with the C7-B7 part. I understand that we should focus on the chord tones during our solo there, but what underlying scales are we referencing?

    • @StichMethodGuitar
      @StichMethodGuitar  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      C or B Mixolydian maybe mixodorian as well

    • @jaydreb
      @jaydreb 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Without getting too technical, I think for the C7 the better scale would be C Lydian Dominant, rather than just C Mixo. The difference between the scales is an F# instead of F natural.

  • @fennarios
    @fennarios 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This chord progression is beautiful! Anyone knows the theory behind the harmony? I know the B7 Is the fifht of E, maybe A/Asus could be the fourth, but whats with the E minor? And the C7? Im starting to learn how to build progressions, please help unravelling this beauty!

    • @davestagner
      @davestagner ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The song transitions between E major and E minor. Don’t get too hung up on key centers! Instead, look at the harmonic context that can apply to sections or sequences of chords, and be ready to switch contexts. A difficult transition might represent a new section, a new “key”.
