Love your playing style and your approach to this tune - the little hammer-ons for each note on the alternating bass notes really bring a lot more life to the tune and give it a much fuller sound when playing it solo - definitely the best lesson I have found yet for this classic tune - excellent channel my friend - keep up the good work - cheers from Canada!!!!
Congrats! This guitar lesson has been selected by our curators and featured on our website as the Best Guitar Tutorial for this song/level. Thank you for your hard work and expertise!
Thanks so much for this,love your delivery. The comments about Grisman were great, the guy is amazing. Anyone that wants to hear Garcia/Grisman go out of this world may want to hear them cover “So What” MileDavis. Never heard anything like it.
Good tutorial that would've been better without the Tiger Woods hat, although maybe you had a deeper meaning that Tiger is actually a friend of the devil. In that case, you win
@@beyondthebeat9769 I wish my original comment highlighted your talent more and thanked your for the lesson. Awesome again brotha! Just was feeling a little discouraged that night. Understood thanks! I'll keep at it.. I can play the bridge notes, and can play the chords , SEPARATELY.. But combined together is like brain splitting for this young deadhead lol Thanks again man!!! 🤙
This is great. Here's a question. When you're strumming just the three open strings that make the g chord, how do you avoid hitting the other strings, which makes it sound crappy when I do it?
Great question Dan! It’s definitely a challenge, and there is no quick fix. Down up picking exercises with your metronome is the best place to start. Dedicated strumming exercises will also help. There are some tutorials on our channel that would certainly help. Keep picking!
Sean, you are the best person. Ever... no worries about missing the stream, we are here when ever and I obviously love it when you show up, it’s just so nice to connect. It’s amazing to me each time you send a question or comment, always makes me smile.
Nobody explains this riff okay. I'm gonna have to figure it out and do my own tutorial... I get the G scale part. How do I go from there? I'm playing a g scale, what next? A bunch of info flies at me way too fast for it to stick. "Oh, just play this, this, this, this and this, and then a C chord , this and this" Like... We can't see that in these videos. Fifty videos and they're all pretty useless
You are not yet ready for this lesson. Find other things to work on and come back here occasionally to see if you've improved your listening and playing skills sufficiently. We've all been where you are now. Lessons like this may be useless to you, but they are valuable to those that are further along their music journey.
Well done; excellent lesson. Thank you.

Great lesson !!
Thank you
Great lesson! You capture the essence; and it's actually one of the easier dead tunes to play passably. Would love a deeper dive in the solos. 🙏
Friend of the Devil, played by,a dude with a Tiger Woods Hat. Gotta love it!
outstanding .... Thanks !

Great lesson would love a Dead Set or Garcia/Grisman solo lesson. I love your feel it really helped me get the tune better than a couple of there. 🙏

Great tutorial!
Great lesson. Subscribed. 👍
The first version of Friend of the Devil I heard was the slower version from Europe '72. Any comments on that version?
I have not heard it! I know the Dead Set version well and love it, will have to check out the Europe '72 version..
Dead Set was 1981
Good tutorial that would've been better without the Tiger Woods hat, although maybe you had a deeper meaning that Tiger is actually a friend of the devil. In that case, you win
OMG - this is so funny, I have been away from the channel and missed it. Thanks for making my day. Amazing.
I can't figure out how to play the single notes, while strumming the other strings :( awesome lesson!
Thanks buddy, mixing the strumming and picking together is tuff. Practice ridiculously slow. You will most certainly get it it!

I get the G scale part.
How do I go from there?
I'm playing a g scale, what next?
A bunch of info flies at me way too fast for it to stick.
"Oh, just play this, this, this, this and this, and then a C chord , this and this"
Like... We can't see that in these videos.
