Too perfect. This was the exact song that blew my mind away and hooked me. Jerry gets hypnotic. Plus, I’ve been jamming Sugaree non stop for last few weeks. Thank you. Thank you!
I've heard #3 described as "fanning." I'm scared to try it but I appreciate you doing this. Your Sugaree backing track is my go-to "dicking around on guitar" track and it will be good to learn some new stuff to do with it.
Jeff, I have no idea how I missed the fact that you have a Patreon, but thanks to this great lesson, I now know so I just signed in the support you. You create such fantastic lessons and I’m very glad to be one of your patrons. You deserve a whole lot more support so I really do hope you get it!
Hey Boomer, thanks so much for the support and I hope you find the tracks and PDFs helpful. I'm about to start putting out 'Patreon only' videos so they're be that too!
Another great video ! Pembroke Pines , as you’ve chosen has been my all time fav since 04, really digging it. You should try and transcript that melodic climax Jerry reaches around 9 minutes and 5 seconds. Loving the grooves brother !
As far as versions of ‘Sugaree,’ in addition to the many great live recordings of the song being performed by the Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, and Dead & Co., check out Reina del Cid’s really sweet cover. It’s not jam-band-y like the versions by Dead, Jerry, etc.; just two very talented women with acoustic guitars giving it a nice treatment in their signature style.
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar glad you liked their cover! Check out some of their other stuff if you wish. I think they do a real nice job on covers and originals.
They certainly are the same notes but there is the difference of the tonal center. In E major it revolves around of course E. In B mixolydian, around B. If anyone's interested I have an 11 videos playlist on Music Theory Basics: th-cam.com/play/PLWbyLS1VMRzic_qxIyUCX0ZjO-K87hOB9.html
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar this is a good point to debate. If you say what "key" is a tune in, you refer to the key signature. In this case, 4 sharps. Which is E. I don't know how you are trying to define tonal center, but you are missing. The song resolves to an E major chord. That's the last chord. That's the tonal center. It's irrelevant that it starts on a B. Let's look at an abstract to clarify. How about a ii, V, I in C? It starts with a d minor chord, but it's certainly not in the key of d minor. It's in C. That's the 1. That's where the resolution lies. That's where the whole thing is leading the listener. Same with Sugaree. It all leads to that last note. Just don't tell em that you know ME. Over an e chord! Boots. Tonal center. E. Same as the key signature.
@@lazylightning5496 You're definitely right that just because a chord starts a progression doesn't mean it the key. I could care less if I'm 'right' or 'wrong' but I don't want anyone who might read our comments to be confused. I just checked out a couple live versions of Sugaree and both end on a B chord and the last note Jerry sings (the 'Me') is actually a D#. The major 3rd of B, giving Sugaree a 'sweet' ending.

Thanks bro this sugaree is cosmic and you do a solid job of breaking down some signature licks! Keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Excellent. Well worth a donation. Thank you!
Thank you too!

Great suggestion!
Great! Thank You.
Best lessons/videos out there! Thanks so much Jeff
Wow, thanks!
#3 I would call it the mandolin vibe. Thx great stuff. It takes lots of vids to unpack Jerry and Bobbie licks. Appreciate u for the effort 🙏💯
No prob and that's a great lick description too!
It’s a “Pre-Roll” lmao 😂😂. Pre-rolls will help with this lesson that’s for sure!
Haha!
Great lesson, Jeff
Thanks Kevin
Great vid!
Thanks Mitch!

I have that lamp in my studio. Lol..⚡🔥⚡
Nice! I just got it. It's served me well so far.
Dude. B mixolydian IS the key of E! You do great vids, but you should really know that basic theory. Jam on!

@@JeffWilliamsGuitar I'll def cop the licks from you though. ;)
