First time visitor to your channel and thrilled that I found it. As a rhythm focused player, I'm always struggling to find high quality pieces focused on laying down the rhythm track. I've played this song for years, but now realize that I was pretending to play it. Thanks for showing me the light. Great work, great fun. Thank You!
Great stuff man. Love your work and it's been giving me new fire to learn a lot more GD songs like EOTW which are a blast to play. For the last week I've literally rolled out of bed, picked up my guitar and started jamming this and become 100% awake and in a great mood. Thanks!!
This was amazing! I’ve been trying to find the correct chords for the intro and this definitely sounds most like it! Amazing noodling and phrasing man. Anyone wondering about the solo, I like to think of the first set of chords as your E major scale and the second set of chords as B Dorian (or A Major to keep it simple). If you can switch a half step To the other scale as the chords change it sounds super cool and dramatic 👀
Agreed on the solo - I think he's jamming between E and A keys. But the intro - that's it! I've been trying to figure it out, thanks for pointing out the alt-Emaj7 chord, I needed that. Thank you.
Toby, I really like your goofy, yet clear and understandable approach to teaching how to play songs on guitar. And even songs that I know and have been playing for awhile, there is often some little new tidbit I learn. Thanks for doing what you do. If you’re ever in Telluride…
I don't play a musical instrument and I still enjoy watching these videos. I love to see how these beautiful songs are performed. Just really cool to watch. Thank you for the videos!!
Just thought of another tune I'd like to learn that's got a bunch of those little filler runs that, well, I'm thinking, you could teach us? Stagger Lee! Love your lessons, man. Keep em' coming!
You are a great musician & add the singing your better than good. The only notes i cant figure is when you play A at the end of the 1st verse where you hit 2 accent notes before going into the final EAE 1st verse. Just discovered your huge library what a gold mine, Super thankful!!
Many thanks for this lesson Davvy. Very helpful for me to approach EToH as admittedly I was a little intimidated to dive into it before but not anymore thanks mate!
Honestly, thank you so much for sharing how to play the amazing songs! Learning to play dead songs and solo over the changes has made me such a better player in recent months thanks again dude
Sheeeeeeeeit, the inlay on the first fret is playing games with the mind. I keep trying to play up a whole step, I’m like how the hell is he playing an A on 7,8,9th frets. Then I realized, you’re not playing that high. Premium content brother!!!! I’ll start blasting your channel to dead head gitfiddle players online, you deserve the traffic!
Mate bro my man dawg this is so kind. Life is good with you in it helping to spread some love. I'm a million miles away from the fambam living where I am now and this makes me feel it. Super cool vids and lessons thanks mate. Keep them coming it would be good to maybe get a chord chart you use or reference to one online for some of the funkier chords. Cheers.
So ive decided your awesome. Love the dreads, awesome personality. Wondering how did you learn to play guitar? I play by ear so when you say “this makes it in E” I’m like uhhh ok haha thanks man
Thank you for the kind words. I’m self taught. When I’m saying anything about theory, it’s very loose. Just what I’ve picked up. When I say something is in E, it just means that’s the key. And you can now move freely within the key of E to solo and whatnot. I do live solo lessons once a month and you can learn a bit more there if you want. I’ll be doing a live one this coming Thursday (11/11/2021) at noon EST.
Really great stuff man that open A to the second Emaj7 takes a while to get but makes it sound so much better than just staying on the Emaj7... so when you solo over the Emaj7>Bm>A do you focus on hitting the D (3rd) over the Bm and the C# over the A (3rd). Any other tricks to making that sound so good, I’ve been working on this for a while trying to figure out the solo. Thanks man!
I know this may sound extremely rudimentary, but I just do my best to follow the chord progression. I try to either flow between or change up what I’m doing based on what chords are being played. It’s what Jerry did and how I try to look at it.
Interesting enough the jam Section on the studio version changes from that apart to just a B minor seven on the first time around and on the second time around that add in that A major chord
Great lesson, and some sweet solo action there -- good stuff. Even though the song doesn't have one, the lack of a bridge (and that sweet sweet bridge graphic) was somewhat upsetting, but I'll get over it.
Great video. Could one describe that second intro chord as an A major 7? Open A, the major 7th then the fifth then the third on top. I did jam on that riff for an inordinate period of time... Thank you.
Thanks, homie! Franklin’s is on the list, but it’s being held for a special occasion. I’ll be doing the entire Help/Slip/Franklin suite for a subscriber milestone celebration.
@@TobyDavvy I got it from the latest Drink and Joint podcast. (Before Toby told you to fix the screen when you were showing your mugshots) Don't worry, I'm not a creeper- it was just there. It stuck out because my best friend in highschool was David Allen Heflin. I'll cut you in on the Gram, for sure.
First comment 🐿face
And for that, you get pinned.
Please keep making these videos they are by far the most digestible and understandable for learning dead tunes. Thank you man! ❤️
It looks like I will be making these videos for the rest of my life. Haha. I really appreciate the kind words and support, homie.
My favorite part was with the Ghost of Garcia blessing your solos 😂

Hell yeah, homie! That’s awesome! If you keep learning them, I’ll keep making them.

One minute in, have to give it a thumbs up 😊 these video’s are pure gold my man. Hope you are doing well ❤
I love those little licks between the chords and that walk-up to the c# chord when singing "all burst.." Must try this tonight.
Those little nuances are what makes this music so much fun to play.

The intro...lol awesome bro!
Thanks for the upload Dave man!
Honestly, thank you so much for sharing how to play the amazing songs! Learning to play dead songs and solo over the changes has made me such a better player in recent months thanks again dude
This is the one I've been waiting for! You do a great job!
Dude ....been playing the intro chords except the first Emaj7 wrong for 30 years lol....thank you!
this is awesome! I love your videos bro thank you so much stay grateful
You are my kind of freak. Thanks for the hilarious and effective instructional vid. Looking forward to learning more tunes with you my dude!
Sheeeeeeeeit, the inlay on the first fret is playing games with the mind. I keep trying to play up a whole step, I’m like how the hell is he playing an A on 7,8,9th frets. Then I realized, you’re not playing that high.

Haha. Sorry for the confusion bro bro.
And pleeeeeeeease share us around. We need to grow the community!
when south park jerry popped out the cut for the 2nd jam i started rolling bro🤣 superb editing and tutorial homie
I think i will be able to learn this now,thanks from the bottom of my heart, absolutely hilarious and great teachings skills man.
This filled in quite a few gaps I had in playing this song. Thanks!
A little lesson about the solo at the end would be much appreciated. Your phrasing is gorgeous there.

Super cool vids and lessons thanks mate. Keep them coming it would be good to maybe get a chord chart you use or reference to one online for some of the funkier chords. Cheers.
Happy you’re part of the family, homie! Best thing I can tell you is to look up a chord inversion chart.
Your lessons are very smartly organized.... great job brother. Rock on, aiko aiko
Well done. Learned some new shiz today. Will hit you up on Venmo... again.
Thanks for being part of the fam, and for the donations. They keep the lights on
I think I may have just found my new favorite channel
That’s what I like to read!
Still a massive W of a person. Had to come back for that intro!
Nice job! Thank you 😎
This is terrific thank you.
Remember, forget - got it man that’s great life advice too Ty much!
I'm here mostly for that 2nd chord - it is Amaj7, eh. Your rhythm chops are great, love the Hendrix-isms. Great tune.
Nailed it, dude. There's a bunch of other hacks trying to "teach" Eyes on YT
Love it! So happy I stumbled on your channel
I’m happy you stumbled over here too!
Sativa + a guitar + your lesson video = a fucking great time
This is excellent! For the solo/jam, what keys are you soloing in? It goes from E to something else…
Thank you for the video. Funny af in spots.
So ive decided your awesome. Love the dreads, awesome personality. Wondering how did you learn to play guitar? I play by ear so when you say “this makes it in E” I’m like uhhh ok haha thanks man

Great lesson Davvy. Are you just using E pentatonic to solo?
Wont go near the *. but nice. Love the lessons.
Really great stuff man that open A to the second Emaj7 takes a while to get but makes it sound so much better than just staying on the Emaj7... so when you solo over the Emaj7>Bm>A do you focus on hitting the D (3rd) over the Bm and the C# over the A (3rd).

This really helped me out a lot, thanks! Also I really wanna know which version of eyes you used for the video I can’t find it
Hell yess!! Eyes is such an awesome tune!
Effin right it is, dawg!
Told ya, you called it.
Woohoo!
One of my fav tunes. Please play solos in every lesson. I will try to make it sound a little fluttery :D
Thanks brother 🙏
Love from India
Hey man, thanks for all the support! I’ll for sure start doing more solo work in the vids.
Great job, your lessons are always pretty nice 😘
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for these videos they are amazing!
I struggle to play the rhythm in the intro / get the strumming feel right. Any pointers?
Interesting enough the jam Section on the studio version changes from that apart to just a B minor seven on the first time around and on the second time around that add in that A major chord
These videos belong in the national archives. One thing that would be super helpful is going over the strumming pattern and the timing
Great lesson, and some sweet solo action there -- good stuff. Even though the song doesn't have one, the lack of a bridge (and that sweet sweet bridge graphic) was somewhat upsetting, but I'll get over it.
I mean, I can start throwing the bridge graphic in the background for you on songs that don’t have one, bro.
@@TobyDavvy I do love it when you take it to the bridge th-cam.com/video/b4d1NNdfzt0/w-d-xo.html
Echt gut - really good !! Thanx!
Sheesh.. Tall order. But hey thanks for the vigiados.. All time crowd killer and one of my favs! 🤤
Great video. Could one describe that second intro chord as an A major 7? Open A, the major 7th then the fifth then the third on top.
I did jam on that riff for an inordinate period of time... Thank you.
when you let the song play for each part . . . What version of "Eyes" is that from?
Thanks Davvy, What would be awesome if you could put together what Wier is doing
Ok.. I laughed out loud @5:21 when Jerry floated in, and then again when his cartoon penis arms showed up
Davvy you're a savage, truly
Legend.
Fuck, this song is still beyond me. I can play the intro but the chorus and verses make my brain melt.
😂 Yeah! When your joints sound like rice crispiest time for a check up 😂
thanks... fun times
phuuukn groovy bro
Bro! Your an amazing teacher! Love this lesson! Can I add Franklin’s Tower to the list?
Thanks, homie! Franklin’s is on the list, but it’s being held for a special occasion. I’ll be
doing the entire Help/Slip/Franklin suite for a subscriber milestone celebration.
Ok how about Katie Mae, Dark Hollow and I’ve been all around this world. Love love love the Bears choice album.
That is really cool by the way, I need to tell everyone I know to subscribe to Toby and Davvy!
I’ll be doing a series of all the acoustic tunes as well
Awesome.
Thanks, fam!
Lololol I died laughing at 5:14!!
That first one made me cry
Can you please confirm the fingering of that A open chord in the intro?
Middle finger 7th fret of D string. Pointer finger 5th fret G string. Hit all the other strings open
It’s not actually an A, right?
What pedal(s)?
the Theo Von of guitar videos
FUNKIN GO NUTS
Promise
Pinky
why did you give jerry dong hands 😂😂
you sure are doing ok bud 🤣

It's interesting to see these guys to young to ever see a Grateful Dead show have such insight.
I always sang thighs of a squirrel.
God Damn it David Allen! - I fucking Love You. In the most hetero-bro way possible. I'm FN faded. I just can't right now.
First off, how did you now my middle name is Alan? Second, let's be bros! Add me on insta. @davvycalish
