    Man…. Lightbulb moments all over this thing. Like a Christmas tree over here. I’m watching this 4 years later and look to see it have 39k views. More people need to see this. Bridging the gap of looking at things as a guitar player to looking at things musically. I’ll probably watch this video a dozen times.

      I learned to build solos by listening to Charlie Parker, Benny Goodman, Grover Washington, Harry James, et al. Mostly early bebop but big band blues too.

      @@mikeherriman4600 i have been accused of the clarinet thing lots of times back in the mid-70's. I was even recruited by a local big band while attending college. Yeah, I am an "old guy." 😀 The big band guy heard us jamming on Deep Purple "Lazy" and beat on the door until we heard him knocking 😀 He then asked where the Clarinet player went. It took another jam to concince him the "Clarinet" was the neck pickup of my guitar with the tone control rolled off about half way. Playing some bebop lines helped too. Thankfully I had been familiarizing myself with ii V I and searching for 3rds.

    One of my favorite Grateful Dead songs, took me a while to understand it was actually the 5 chord (B) and 4 chord (A) in the key of E, but once that breakthru happened this song got so much more fun to play over. thanks for the premium content

      He did his first one , Free from the Brooklyn show in 04!!! It seems that he already got "Phish hooked", which he said numerous times during it. It was really neat watching his reaction too, to say that he was impressed, would be a huge understatement!!!! He made a comment near the end of the video saying something like " he sees what's going on with them, he's got a few things figured out!!". Lol. Little does he know what he doesnt know, yet. Definitely looking forward to more of these type of videos.

      Well, that’s what it is,
      If you are considering it as “B mixolydian”
      But to a beginner, it helps to think of it in terms of its parent major scale (E major), and, in that sense, it’s the 5 and 4 chord

So yes, Grateful Dead - Guitar Lession - Improvising/improvisation are all great words to have in the title. Thank you!

      B Floyd Will do. It’s scheduled for delivery tomorrow, so I’ll know quickly. I’ve sold two of my three Strats, just keeping a David Gilmour “Black Strat” tribute I built up from a 1997 Strat Plus. All of my gigging guitars are PRS (513s or 594s) so it’s my hope that moving from those to the SS will be easier than it was transitioning to a stock Strat. We’ll soon see!
