I’m 51 years old. I’ve had an acoustic around since I was in my twenties and it ended up being a decoration for 30 years. I’ve recently fallen in love with a real attempt to learn. Others channels have taught me a few songs, but you and yours is teaching me how to PLAY. I’m sticking with you for all my theory. I particularly like the “Inside the mind of” vids. Thank you for what you do on this channel.
I can totally relate! I'm about the same age and played off and on for the same amount of time. I'm a longtime Dead fan and came across Stich recently. This guy knows how to teach. Man, what I would have given to have a teacher like him when I was 15.
Bob is the best #2 in the business. The Netflix doc “The Other One” about his life spends some time, obviously, on his unique rhythm style. Sammy Hagar of all people provides some nice insight into Bob’s style.
I love this. He is truly one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Kind of like how Lhotse mountain is slightly ignored because it's under the shadow of Everest
Love this, thank you. More "In the mind of Bobby" please!!! I have been trying to deconstruct/reconstruct what he does for a long time and this is so helpful...
been 'studying' Bobby's music for a couple years now. He has a very unique approach and super fun. Please do more In the Mind of Bobby! Thanks for this it's excellent.
Great stuff. Yet another invaluable lesson for any discerning Dead Head. Thanks, stitch. You have taught me more about guitar than any other teacher on here, and I can’t thank you enough.
I used to love listening to Bob’s various activities. Back in the late 60s/early 70s he would drop in to the Inn of the Beginning in Cotati, Ca on Wednesday nights and play and sing with the New Riders of the Purple Sage with Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar. I never missed a Wednesday night. Bob appeared to have some pretty long fingers! Thanks for posting another excellent lesson!
Fantastic job on This! I love Bob's style and approach to his playing. When you really understand his playing you realize how intrical his playing was for their sound....a lot of parts that people assume is Jerry is actually Bobby. Studying his style and approach will really open up your understanding of the fret board. You are right...it's better to learn his concepts than try to play note for note. I love this video! Please do more!
Thanks Stich! I learned a new way to play a sus2. I used to work with a guy that always said rhythm guitar is so boring to play. I always replied back - "Have you ever listened to Bob Weir?" There are lots of "best" and "favorite" guitar players, but only one comes to mind as my favorite rhythm guitarist. That would be The Other One himself. Please more.
Great lesson Stich! You are the true master of showing how to really feel n play the music of the Grateful Dead! Your love of the band shines through !
You had me at Hello. Thanks for this. I think what you are doing is very important, because having fun is the most important thing. I don't want to sound like Bobby, I want to learn from him and sound like ME.
When I play Dead songs - which is often and over many years - I'm playing the rhythm, natch. Learning even a little of Bob's technique can only up my game. Thanks!
I took my first ever guitar lessons (Folk Guitar) when I was 11 yo in the summer of 1965 from Bob at Dana Morgan Music on Ramona in Palo Alto. Thank you for your great video instruction of the kind of rhythm guitar Bob Weir played with the Dead; your teaching is very informative.
Hah. That's quite a golden memory to have. Bought my Polytone Mini-brute amp at Dana Morgan's way back in the '70's. I remember the local lore about the store - Jerry teaching there for a bit, too.
Thanks! Your videos just keep getting better and better. Great lesson. I paused it after the first minute and just played around with adding seconds for an hour before coming back to watch the rest. So fun.
I've been the singer-songwriter and fronted or co- fronted nearly every band I've been in. After many years of that I decided it was time to really learn to play lead. You're the one that I've found that's helped me the most with that. In a 3 piece for the first time and still have some issues with switching from my rythm to lead without making the song feel like there's a sudden sonic hole. This has got me thinking about how I can do both without losing some of the song's momentum. Another great video!
That's always a problem in a trio when there's nothing to "fill up" the sonic hole of the rhythm dropping out. This kind of approach shown here can work, playing more triad imbelishments arpeggios etc. Also how tight is your rhythm section? There are things they can do like more cymbals in the bare sections etc. Lastly, and this can be hard to do with a band unless the other guys are totally with you, but a looper can be used, very carefully of course, but to great effect in these kind of situations. Like I say tho if you go that route make sure the drummer especially can hear your loop playback and play along with it cause once recorded it can no longer play along with him 😆. Good luck and have fun.
Really excellent breakdown of how he uses scales to migrate from chord to chord. Your playing and interpretation are excellent and tasteful using your own freedoms . Thank you
I started watching Bob do this in 1965 -- sometimes (like at the panhandle or at Speedway Meadow, when they were on a rented flatbed truck) when there were as few as 12 of us there. Always fascinated that Bob just didn't strum chords like every other rhythm player. What you are showing us is absolutely true and I'm so glad to see some one point this out. Besides: WMOITMD is the essential Dead tune for me. (And the last Dead show I was at was The Rio Nido Ballroom in 1967. Again, when there were only about 2 dozen people in attendance. The whole hippie scene had taken on a scary dark side. Coincidence that they told me they were beginning to work on Dark Star at the ranch up the road right then? I still said no to the whole thing and walked away.)
For years, back before these lessons were more commom, myself and my fellow guitarist friends, would always wonder in awe, what Bobby was Playing! We wanted to know but most could not begin to figure it out properly! After playing for 30 years, and a few of these types of videos, I am finally beginning to get Bob Weir's styke down properly.. Dude knows the fretboard so well, plays lead licks as rythym, and chords all over the neck, with the most beautiful voicings ever, and the partials he plays!!!.. He is an underappreciated guitar genius.. And what an ear!
That’s the Weir Signature Series. When this guitar is set at the bridge pickup, all tones at 7, it is the best tone Bob ever got from a guitar. In my opinion. What a great place to start teaching from.
When I listen to the Dead, I always listen for Bob. Used to be that he was lost in the mix and too drowned out to hear. I've watched and heard him make a lot of (to me) mistakes, but he has played things that bust my head open like a cantaloupe -- so fitting for the moment and complimentary of the song, Jerry, and the rest of the band. There have been times he and Jerry seemed like they were both taking the lead, playing and sounding differently, yet playing as two sides of the same brain. And I love when Bob took the lead, doing just some of the things you demonstrated. Great insight into an extraordinary musical mind.
Man !! That was awesome. I have ben playing guitar about six years and I this by far is the best lesson I ever seen. I know it's going to bring my playing up. Thank you kindly Stitch.
As a guitar teacher and recent discoverer of Bob Weir, I'm absolutely loving this. These techniques are so usual for rhythm guitar in all styles and you explain it so clearly and freely. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s fascinating to hear Bobby’s playing broken down, and you totally nail it. It’s such an inventive style that really keeps it interesting for both player and listener. Who says playing rhythm is boring? If you’re bored, you’ve got to up your game and keep yourself entertained! I think it’s important to mention that Bobby’s style of rhythm allows for more space in the music. Can you imagine if he strummed away on full chords with all the different instruments in the Grateful Dead? It would really muddy up the sound. Keep up the great work, Stich!!
Way back when, when Bobby was “fired” from the band, along with Pig, He (Mr. Weir) studied McCoy Tyner albums. He talks about it on the doc (I think it’s called The Other One). I’ve seen McCoy play multiple times, it was good choice.
@@stefanierichardson8716 Yes! Very polyrhythmic playing by Bobby. It worked well with the Dead’s dual drummers, and Phil, and gave Jerry lots of freedom in his solos. Playing in/with the band!
@@ericmintz6689 one of the other cool things he said in the documentary was that he felt it was his job to figure out where Jerry was going and then to get there right before him with a few surprises.
I just stumbled across your videos and lessons. What a joy. You're so fun and informative. I've always been in awe of Bobby's playing and this is the first time I've seen anyone open his playing up. Thanks.
Great insight into the mind and fingers of a musical genius, who glued the Dead together for decades, and still does. Very accessible teaching, thanks.
Thank you! Amazing work distilling your conversation with Rob down into a workable lesson. A big takeaway is that "less is more." My first few rounds on this exercise really has me conscious of sloppily hitting stray notes that muddy that crystal clear Bobby sound - like open A string on the first D chord up high. I'd love to hear about right hand muting next time you talk to him, which I think he touched on. Jaco was big on right hand muting on bass. Very cool video, opened up a lot of fun for me on my new(ish) epiphone 335.
I love how Bobby does all the weird doublestop harmony stuff that I do when I'm high and trying to follow along the chords while jamming in all the stuff in feeling
So good. Please give us more “In the mind of Bobby’s”!!! Love your encouragement to go for the feel and not the notes. (Tho super helpful guidance on the notes, too!)
Buddy! This is really great stuff. I’ve loved this song for decades and now have a way more fun and creative way to play this amazing song. Genius lesson!!
Great lesson! I love this hybrid rythym/lead/chord/scale style. I'm pretty comfortable playing in the "Hendrix" style and this is very similar. Thank you for this lesson, it's like one of those rosetta stone ones that's the key to an entire concept. Love it man!
Cool video. Nice example on how to tastefully fly around with triads. First thing I though though 7:05 was when you talk about the Sus 2 chord, that is just the first phrase of the "Wind Cries Mary" solo.
There's only one thing more important than the lead guitar and that's the rhythm guitar because good solid rhythm is going to make the lead sound so much better and Bob Weir was a master rhythm player. Angus Young said the reason he could do what he did was because of his brothers solid rhythm that he could skate on top of with his lead and riffs never underestimate what rhythm guitar does to a band sound and the dead were a classic example with Bob's great rhythm.
WoW!!! I knew he did a lot cord voicing, but idk anything about this it's midnight and my guitar is at my friend's house. I have to watch this again. Thank you for breaking it down and walking someone like me though it. Aloha brother
This was a great lesson! Thanks soo much for all the work you do. It’s especially helpful tying the chord shapes, chord tones, and scales all together. It’s awesome!
Your playing is so beautiful. This is a great lesson. There is a wonderful documentary on Bob Weir where he talks about his playing. Bob Weir and John Lennon were very inventive rhythm players.
That was awesome. I’m not a guitarist but I am a Bobby fan. Love it when he’s not buried in the mix. Love your attitude and thought process, and entrance into his mind.

Hello thanks for your comments and support, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ Please send me a mail via. bweir606@gmail
Great job! He's a unique player in a unique band. And to know the fretboard inside and out, so you can go anywhere and do anything you want. Show after show, year after year. Starting in high school! It's all pretty incredible... And the songs!
Some years ago I commented on Weir's great rhythm on Morning Dew in an online review of the first album. Hendrix did some similar chord embellishments. Thanks so much for this.
I must of watched this lesson for the tenth time but I can only “like” it once. There isn’t enough said about great rythme players. When playing with multiple guitarists around the campfire waiting for your turn to play the mandatory pentatonic 🙄 solo and feeling like a snob when wiping out a Mixo/Dorian solo at least I can feel good about playing an interesting rhythm part that people will like without stepping on the soloist. Please more Bob Weir lessons!! Good rhythm players are more appreciated than soloists.
Very cool. There's not nearly enough attention given to the technical mastery and creative weirdness that is Bob Weir. IMHO he's the most underrated guitar player in rock and roll. He (and Phil) opened up the GD to a massively wide range of modal space for Jerry to shine over. Any other rhythm player would have kept the music dull and stiff.
55 years old just started playing again. Practiced back in the early 80’s for a year. Followed the dead. Jerry past away. Got a job a wife 3 kids didn’t practice anymore. Just picked it back up. Love morning Dew more Dew more than you could imagine. I have been trying to watch your video and learn this on and off for weeks. You play this effortlessly… Help!!
@@StichMethodGuitar How are you. That’s really cool that you actually responded to my post. I really enjoy your videos. To answer your question I do not think I have but I can’t swear to that. I find myself kinda all over the place. I have definitely gravitated to your videos.
Oh, man! Fantastic lesson! I've been playing Bobby stuff forever and this honestly gave me a new perspective on how to look at the partials and how they fit together with scale glue. More "In the Mind Of: Bob Weir", PLEASE! Perhaps a discussion of his approach to "The Other One", which is so rich in these kinds of Weir'isms.

No they’re not.

55 years old just started playing again. Practiced back in the early 80’s for a year. Followed the dead. Jerry past away. Got a job a wife 3 kids didn’t practice anymore. Just picked it back up. Love morning Dew more Dew more than you could imagine. I have been trying to watch your video and learn this on and off for weeks. You play this effortlessly… Help!!
Have you watched my caged primer playlist?

How are you. That’s really cool that you actually responded to my post. I really enjoy your videos. To answer your question I do not think I have but I can’t swear to that. I find myself kinda all over the place. I have definitely gravitated to your videos.
Really enjoyed listening to this. Thanks. Bobby is a wonderful player.
Oh, man! Fantastic lesson! I've been playing Bobby stuff forever and this honestly gave me a new perspective on how to look at the partials and how they fit together with scale glue. More "In the Mind Of: Bob Weir", PLEASE! Perhaps a discussion of his approach to "The Other One", which is so rich in these kinds of Weir'isms.
The reverb you're using is fantastic. Sounds like you're on stage in a club. Awesome vid, BTW. Love your technique on this one.
