Amazing player! It's really difficult explain clearly what Jerry Garcia's playing so like this.... listen music together and learn what Jerry's playing? Bob's rhythm guitar is awesome too! It's simple yet not easy!
When are you and I going to meet on some sun swept beach in FL, CA or HI and have a serious guitar DUEL ? Hahaha. The only 'secret' is sunshine. Let it shine shine shine.
It's fun figuring out these tunes. Jerry was playing through the changes and made great use of triads with all sorts of extra coloring for this tune. A true master. I love what Miles said about the Dead, they were jazz musicians playing rock music. Thanks Tomo!!!!!!!

I love how you addressed when people are improving, they aren’t necessarily thinking about a particular mode. Rather they are feeling the music which may have certain modal characteristics. Not to say people aren’t thinking about a mode or certain scale when exercising however I feel not many people point out just playing what you hear/ feel. Thank you for the video tomo!!

That middle pickup really gets that jerry tone in the strat. I never would have thought till I seen a video that said he use it a lot. Great lesson by the way. Love your videos.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. Your unique talents for teaching/instruction combined with your humility, and humour make for very captivating understanding and learning. A perfect example of all of this in one is toward the end of the video where you are explaining Jerry's style and influences and then vamp off into country and then say distraction at the end, LMAOF. I love the human and personal interaction with your audience trying to bring the teaching experience like one in which a student is with you in your studio, like when you describe your gear. I am definitely going to join guitar wisdom. You said any more requests. Was wondering if you could do Duane Allman. I know he does slide but his melodies are so amazing and they do alot of the major scale.
Really amazing! So great to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! Guitar is so deep! If you do it too seriously... not good! You need to borrow a spirit from Mr. Bean! (another hero!)

Thank you for this excellent video! This is now my favorite video about teaching a "Jerry-style" solo. You teach the first lesson I have seen that emphasizes the importance of sharing the feeling and being in the spirit of live music. Others have been able to show what to do, but you have amazingly been able to convey to me HOW to do it! Lots of information here, and lots to practice.

Fantastic lesson Tomo thank you kindly for sharing! I wanted to take a quick moment to mention that I recently discovered Gabriel Bergman’s channel on TH-cam. Lots of great lessons on Grateful Dead tunes and style. I’m more of a beginner on guitar but can easily tell that he was a student of yours at Berklee :) I highly recommend Gabriel’s channel on TH-cam to any other learners who want to take some deeper dives into Jerry’s style of playing. I typed this comment before getting to the end of the video, so my apologies if Gabriel’s name happened to have been mentioned. Take care everyone and have a great new year ahead !

Fascinating lesson. Thank you. I’ll be watching more. I’m amazed at how many TH-cam teachers seem to use PRS guitars as their primary guitar. I can think of 4-5 right off the top of my head. Did a tour of PRS factory years ago. One of the highlights of my guitar life...
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! Which version do you like? Just added "pitch-recognition ability" and the new "Harmonic Minor video” tomojustfunky.com/tomo-fujita-guitar-practice-advice/
@@TomoFujitaMusic It is really hard to pick one version all of them are awesome but i think the original SRV and Double Trouble studio version is my favorite. Btw i have already checked your Pitch recognition abillity article and harmonic minor video, can not thank you enough for what you do, i am sure soon your website will be the best cheap effective guitar lesson website on the internet. Cheers
For many years, I don't have any guitar tech for my guitars except when I see my friend Kanji Kawabata, he fixed a lot of my guitars. So mostly I do my own set up.
I'm simply amazed by the way you traverse across the frets in your improvisation. As an amateur in the path of self- discovering how to develop fret knowledge I'm doing a brute force methodology of using movable-do notation background to figure out which box I'm in by mapping the current note to get the scale. Like if on B string I hit 'la' with forefinger then I realise I'm in D box or instead of forefinger I hit 'la' using ring finger I assign 'la' as C# and assign E box. Do people use this methodology at all or do you really learn the frets absolutely by heart? The thing is I'll have to hit a note to know the box. I'll never be able to know absolute notes before knowing the box.
Thanks so much! It's all about simple melody & rhythm! and space! I have more detail video lessons at my Guitar Wisdom site. Simple triad idea is good for learning the fretboard. No need to memorize and shapes! Learn the sounds with theory behind.
Hey Tomo! I’m a 14 year old guitarist and I’ve been playing since I was ten and a I’m really big fan of yours. I practice 2, 3, or 4hours a day depending on the day. My inspirations include but are not limited too John Mayer, SRV, and Hendrix. I was wondering if you had any advice for young guitar players like me. Thank you! And have a nice day! 😃
Thanks so much! Good job! That's a lot of hours you can practice so you need to look for more quality, how to do things more proper ways. If I were you, I would work hard as I can and never ask any important issues as free advices in internet! Hendrix, SRV, Mayer, Gibs... Okay one thing. Think before Hendrix? That's your homework to find out!! Take your time!! Don't expect too fast!!
1. Understand the 1-4 quick progression to added color. The song is B to E. But you add the 4th on each. B to a quick E and E to a quick A. 2. Learn 3 Jerry phrases 3. ? I didn't hear a level 3 Other tips: Only listen to small bits at a time. Pick a few minutes of Jerry's solo and listen to it on repeat a ton. Jerry isn't limited to one scale. It's more chord times/triads/arpeggios. It's not locked into one scale such as mixolydian. It's "around" a major scale. That gives him the ability to feel and improvise with the other notes (2, b3, 6, b7, 7, etc.). Jerry goes between playing a melody lead and playing "rhythm" lead. Tomo's examples of how changing rhythm over the same notes completely changes everything. Learning more than 3 things at a time is not practical and people will have difficulty applying it.
Love your lessons. Very valuable practical stuff. It might help the viewers to clearly state the 3 things in the beginning, then show them with the lesson, then review them at the end. Also, it's helpful when you explain what you are playing. I'm working on my ear and know I should be able to hear it. But I'm an amateur any explanation helps. Like how you described that mixolydian dyadic walk down. Very helpful. Hope those comment help. Thanks again for your teaching. I appreciate it!
My fault! Sorry! I taught too many things! You're correct! Supposed to only 3 levels! That's why I really enjoy making my Guitar Wisdom course where each video only contain ONE topic at times.
yeah, but you can hardly expect the average person to get there without knowing a mixolydian scale so it's really unfair as to what you're saying and I think you need to start considering mortal human beings
Finally the version I was looking for and explained in the best way. Hartford 77

シルバースカイはとても気になるギターなんですよねー。ストラトでは出ないブリッジピックアップの音が好きです。
ライブで自分が考え抜いたフレーズより、シンプルなフレーズを印象的と言われる事が多く、ギタリストの拘りより聴き手と楽しむ事を大切にしようと思った出来事でした。
トモさんの動画でも様々なアプローチから、そうだったのか‼️と、今更ながらに気付く事が多いので、感謝と楽しむ気持ちを大切にしています。
シンプルで心に残る演奏が楽しめたら最高ですね。
因みに、撮影時の照明は、紙のフィルターをライトの前に入れて光を散らすと柔らかくなるかもです。それか白いスクリーンに当ててレフ板にしてみても効果的かも❓行燈みたいな感じですねー 参考になるか微妙ですが 笑
ありがとうございます。これはストラトではないですね。
シルバースカイです！ホントによく考えて作られています。ピックガードのネジも長いし。ギター弾かない方が歌える感じ、スペースも大切にしてます（相手が消化できる時間）フレーズは、ます自分で作らないです。もうすでに素晴らしい音楽がいっぱいレコードにあるんで聴くことを毎日少しでも弾くことよりも重視します。毎日の時間の使い方がとっても貴重になってきます。小さなノートに色々目標＆反省書きます。撮影の照明は興味あるんですが全然わかってないす（笑）
おぉ～まさかグレイトフル・デッドが来るとは意外でした。僕は初期の６０年代のアルバムしか聴いたことがなくてこの曲はしりませんでした。６０年代は（デッドに限らずですが）サイケ色が強いので７７年のライブって事でだいぶ印象が違いますね！でも改めて初期の聴いてみましたがとても良かったです！
昔は同時期のバンドだとTHE BANDが凄く好きだったのでデッドはあまり聴かなかったんですよね・・・
でもこの曲はとても気に入りました！ただどこか聞き覚えがあるような・・・ もしかしたら若い頃通ってた音楽好きなオーナーが居る飲み屋で流れてたかもしれません^^;
いつもシンプルな曲でシンプルに弾いてくれるので本当に理解しやすいです。リズムの重要性とか？も説明してくれて（るのかな？）本当に為になりますね！それにベースラインに対してのギターのミクソリディアンで下がる音の関連性とかも勉強になります！何より見てて聴いてて楽しい動画です！
昔の音楽ってちゃんとコードトーンとフレーズが（メロディになっていて）結びついててしかもシンプルだから分かりやすいしシンプルイズベストという言葉どおりシンプルだからこそ美しいサンドなんですね！またカントリーのアプローチがカッコいいですね！これはカントリーが元になってるんだよという意味で弾いたのでしょうか？
レッスン内容とは関係ないですがシルバースカイのピックアップってヴィンテージのポールピースと違って指板のアールに合わせた高さになってるんですね！この辺りも普通のストラトとサウンドキャラクターが違うところなのでしょうか。ペグも６連じゃなくて３対３のギブソンタイプですしテンションの具合も違うんでしょうね。
いつも見るたびに新しい発見が見つかったりしてとても面白いです！
いつも丁寧で楽しく勉強できる動画をありがとうございます！
ありがとうございます。たくさんリクエストを頂いてるので無理しないでゆっくり考えてこんな感じで作っています。ジャムバンドなのでフレーズもその場でバンドの反応＆動きで演奏されています。言葉で説明するのは難しいですが、ちょっとヒントになるように作りました。Silver Skyは、とっても細かく考えてつくられています。これも少し深いものがあるのでコレって言えないですが。ホントによくできています。これも普通以上の工夫があるのが素晴らしいです。また次のヴィデオをお楽しみに！
Uhhhh.... Sugaree... uh hell yes!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
You’re breaking my heart
Thank you!
10:40 BAHAHHAHA you're kidding right?!
What did I say?
Awesome vid
Thanks!
Yes! I found you with the dead. You know more than me but I think Jerry uses more chromatic than just major scale intervals.
Thank you!
My smartphone is so smart. Unlike me. I need more Guitar Wisdom. TY
Thank you! More detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom!
Also Loan Me A Dime , Boz Scaggs/Duane Allman
Great song!!
Great job……….
Thank you so much!
I'd love to see a similar vid about Scarlett Begonias/Fire in the Mountain. See 5/8/77
Thank you so much! I wrote it down!
Great Lesson as always Master Tomo, Please do a 3 Levels on Stevie Ray Vaughan's Superstition. Thanks
So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! Which version do you like?
Just added "pitch-recognition ability" and the new "Harmonic Minor video”

@@TomoFujitaMusic It is really hard to pick one version all of them are awesome but i think the original SRV and Double Trouble studio version is my favorite.
Btw i have already checked your Pitch recognition abillity article and harmonic minor video, can not thank you enough for what you do, i am sure soon your website will be the best cheap effective guitar lesson website on the internet. Cheers
Thanks! Limitation is amazing! Thank you!
Hey Tomo do you do your own set ups on guitars or do you take them to a guitar tech??
For many years, I don't have any guitar tech for my guitars except when I see my friend Kanji Kawabata, he fixed a lot of my guitars. So mostly I do my own set up.
I'm simply amazed by the way you traverse across the frets in your improvisation. As an amateur in the path of self- discovering how to develop fret knowledge I'm doing a brute force methodology of using movable-do notation background to figure out which box I'm in by mapping the current note to get the scale. Like if on B string I hit 'la' with forefinger then I realise I'm in D box or instead of forefinger I hit 'la' using ring finger I assign 'la' as C# and assign E box. Do people use this methodology at all or do you really learn the frets absolutely by heart? The thing is I'll have to hit a note to know the box. I'll never be able to know absolute notes before knowing the box.
Thanks so much! It's all about simple melody & rhythm! and space! I have more detail video lessons at my Guitar Wisdom site. Simple triad idea is good for learning the fretboard. No need to memorize and shapes! Learn the sounds with theory behind.
@@TomoFujitaMusic thank you.
Here is that B major triad test you asked for

Can you maybe do a video on "Jojo" by Chikara Ueda & The Power Station? Its infectious
こんばんは。今宵も(日本は7月2日木曜日午前0時58分)仕事から帰宅後、楽しく拝見しました。35%位は、おっしゃっている事分かったつもりです笑 最近は楽しみになっています。ギターは奥が深いですね。トライアドはシンプルにして実に大切な基本なんですね。60の手習？笑ギターを弾き始めて46年、年数だけは引けを取らないみたいです笑 ギターは楽しいです！！ もう少しまともな事を書こうと思っているのですが文才が乏しい様です笑 いつも楽しみにしてます。頑張って楽しく動画アップお願いします🤲 いつも有り難う御座います。
ありがとうございます。ヴィデオを早速見て頂いて嬉しいです。ギターは人生です。ギターはどうしても独学でできると思ってしまう？ものなのでちゃんと学ぶと楽しさ倍増です！いっぱいヴィデオのアイデアがあるんで毎日楽しく作っています。
TomoFujitaMusic 時間が許せばトモさんに教えて頂こうと思っています。その節は宜しくお願いします。ありがとうございます。おやすみなさい⭐
Skype lesson もどうぞ！
Hey Tomo! I’m a 14 year old guitarist and I’ve been playing since I was ten and a I’m really big fan of yours. I practice 2, 3, or 4hours a day depending on the day. My inspirations include but are not limited too John Mayer, SRV, and Hendrix. I was wondering if you had any advice for young guitar players like me. Thank you! And have a nice day! 😃
Thanks so much! Good job! That's a lot of hours you can practice so you need to look for more quality, how to do things more proper ways. If I were you, I would work hard as I can and never ask any important issues as free advices in internet! Hendrix, SRV, Mayer, Gibs... Okay one thing. Think before Hendrix? That's your homework to find out!! Take your time!! Don't expect too fast!!
@TomoFujitaMusic thanks so much 🙏 you made my day by replying
Thank you!!
Don’t get stuck in the blues. Branch out into country and jazz to help you increase your pallet.
Study Garcia!
Did John Mayer give you that Silver Sky?
Yes he did
Yes! John was so excited about this guitar! John is so sweet!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Awesome!
I know this is an older video....but did Tomo ever say what the 3rd level was? I can't find it...
Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic still a great lesson. Thank you !
今調べてみたらこの曲ジェリー・ガルシアのソロなんですね！
勉強熱心ですね。
@@TomoFujitaMusic いえいえ、今はインターネットで簡単に調べられますので^^; でも昔から音楽に関しては分からない事があったり好きなミュージャンのインタビュー記事等で知らないアーティストやギタリストの名が出てたりするとどんな音楽なのか、どんなギタリストでどんなプレイをする人なのか？凄く気になるんです。好きな人が影響されたのだから絶対に良いはずだ！と。😅
目的があると楽しいですね。
guitar wa sugoi
Subarashii!
Hello Mister Tomo...Do u have free accounts on your guitar wisdom I really want to learn but i cant afford
Thank so much! My Guitar Wisdom is only $9.99 a month subscription so even you can stay on 30 days to watch all videos!
Figuring out the GD is like trying to figure out how Noah built the Ark.
Really fascinating!
knowing basic triads is not at all a mystery though
Only if i had Alembic:)
What are the 3 levels?
Please watch this video! Everything is there! Thank you!!
1. Understand the 1-4 quick progression to added color. The song is B to E. But you add the 4th on each. B to a quick E and E to a quick A.
2. Learn 3 Jerry phrases
3. ? I didn't hear a level 3
Other tips:
Only listen to small bits at a time. Pick a few minutes of Jerry's solo and listen to it on repeat a ton.
Jerry isn't limited to one scale. It's more chord times/triads/arpeggios. It's not locked into one scale such as mixolydian. It's "around" a major scale. That gives him the ability to feel and improvise with the other notes (2, b3, 6, b7, 7, etc.).
Jerry goes between playing a melody lead and playing "rhythm" lead.
Tomo's examples of how changing rhythm over the same notes completely changes everything.
Learning more than 3 things at a time is not practical and people will have difficulty applying it.
Love your lessons. Very valuable practical stuff. It might help the viewers to clearly state the 3 things in the beginning, then show them with the lesson, then review them at the end. Also, it's helpful when you explain what you are playing. I'm working on my ear and know I should be able to hear it. But I'm an amateur any explanation helps. Like how you described that mixolydian dyadic walk down. Very helpful.
Hope those comment help. Thanks again for your teaching. I appreciate it!
Thanks so much for your review! Basically 1) Triads 2) Jerry's phrasing 3) Don't think scales & use more feeling like Jerry!!
My fault! Sorry! I taught too many things!
You're correct! Supposed to only 3 levels!
That's why I really enjoy making my Guitar Wisdom course where each video only contain ONE topic at times.
Triads triads triads
Yes yes yes!
Just added "pitch-recognition ability" and the new "Harmonic Minor video”

What the hell did I just turn on
Thank you!
フッと思った。
日本では英会話に通う人、小学生から、いや、幼稚園から英語教育、英会話スクールに通うようになっているが、本場英語の国アメリカに住んでいるので、簡単な英会話を動画につけたしたらどうかな？と思ったり。
ボクも英会話の学校にアメリカに行く前に行きましたが、問題はその時間以外に日本語で考えてたんで意味がなかったです。英語漬けにしないと。でしね。これは日本でもやろうと思うとできます。
yeah, but you can hardly expect the average person to get there without knowing a mixolydian scale so it's really unfair as to what you're saying and I think you need to start considering mortal human beings
Thank you for sharing!
