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
This is so $$$$! Watched the other 2 vids. Love the way you put these notes in perspective. And the linear challenge I accept. Been working on this song in particular so this is perfect. Can't wait to practice and master each string. Thanks bro!
Thanks this is a great key and I can’t wait to start practicing it! I suspect after going through this exercise on each string I’ll soon be approaching my leads and looking at the fretboard differently and melodically!
Dude! I absolutely love that your channel targets passed the beginner level. This content is great and delivered in a way that keeps me listening rather than just getting distracted by my guitar like a typical annoying guitar student lol
40 years of playing trumpet, 30 on guitar you just made me realize I play leads on guitar as a horn player.... on one string. Harder for me to see patterns. Interesting. Thanks for the video.
Great Lesson Michael !!! Should be very useful learning Jerry's approach to soloing. I wish you had been around in the late 1960's when I was literally wearing out Dead albums trying to learn guitar.
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.
Hi Micheal….how about a study of the great Alvin Lee’s “Bluest Blues” …the final solo by Alvin, is for me the greatest solo of all. My hero’s are Jimi, Rory, Alvin, Micheal Bloomfield, Peter Green, Freddie King, John McLaughlin. I love all your posts….the best.
What's the Silver Sky playing through? I sold mine and went back to a Strat because the tone seemed flat. Would have kept it if it sounded like this. Thoughts?
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
It’s great content - a Deadhead guitarist’s dream. I’ll bet the view count would skyrocket with a different title. From a SEO standpoint Planning your attack” is a peculiar way of titling a Dead lesson. But like I said great content, and at any rate your videos get more views than mine!
Yep yep there are plenty of GD tutorials out there (Marty Schwartz does a ton of Dead) but Jerry Garcia's guitar playing is all about improvisation and NOBODY is teaching it but you. So yes, Grateful Dead - Guitar Lession - Improvising/improvisation are all great words to have in the title. Thank you!
@@Five0Music let me know your thoughts when you get it... I haven't even played one... I hear good & bad about the neck & especially the feet wires... I gotta test drive one before I order one online
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!
@@MrMusicM67 I'm aware of that. My attempt at humor failed. I thought it was kind of neat that he's using a Grateful Dead Jam, for this lesson, while playing a John Mayer SS PRS. Tis all.
@@ArienDH11 yeah, I did know that. My comment was meant as a joke, which it failed at coming across as one. The irony of playing Jerry's licks on a John Mayer SS PRS. Thats all I meant.

This man just did more on one string than I ever did on my whole ass guitar
Now I want an ass guitar!
@@YEM_ build one
I am surprised you don't have more views. This is great content.
Should seriously have more views. This is good stuff.
You teach in a way that easily makes sense. I appreciate your efforts.
Think as a horn player or a voice with one note at a time....not shapes. Outstanding advice! Thanks!
Yeah Jerry thought of himself as a horn player.
"Someone plays guitar that sounds like clarinet..."
Agreed, it simplifies the fretboard in a way
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.

Superb lesson! I dig the intro jam to show where we are headed and excellent steps to get us there. Simple clear concise effective.
I've never had instruction like this. This REALLY helped! I'm definitely checking out the rest of your lessons. Thanks! :)

Absolutely love this. Great method to breaking out of the plateau of playing scales. Really enjoying your lessons, man.
Such a great lesson. Love the wrap up with a useful exercise we can all work on immediately.
This lesson completely changed my approach to solos ....thanks dude..
This is so $$$$! Watched the other 2 vids. Love the way you put these notes in perspective. And the linear challenge I accept. Been working on this song in particular so this is perfect. Can't wait to practice and master each string. Thanks bro!
This is the best teacher I’ve ever seen
Thanks this is a great key and I can’t wait to start practicing it! I suspect after going through this exercise on each string I’ll soon be approaching my leads and looking at the fretboard differently and melodically!
Wow, sounded so Grateful Dead...love it.
love you bro! this just unlocked my playing level
Thanks for linking my track! Love your channel and your react videos. Great way of describing how to solo. Like a horn player or a singer.
You make great stuff! Thanks!

Super good content. I watch this when I want to hear good music & have my brain expanded
Dude! I absolutely love that your channel targets passed the beginner level. This content is great and delivered in a way that keeps me listening rather than just getting distracted by my guitar like a typical annoying guitar student lol
Really enjoying the videos dude. Love love love the Dead. So grateful the music is still alive and going strong.
Omg what a lesson

U deserve more subs/likes... just the one string at a time concept alone has gotten me farther in the last 10 mins than the last week
Great lesson
Awesome!
40 years of playing trumpet, 30 on guitar you just made me realize I play leads on guitar as a horn player.... on one string. Harder for me to see patterns. Interesting. Thanks for the video.
Sweet!!!
I love this approach! I often wish I could limit my options (I've literally taken off strings to try and achieve this!)
Great Lesson Michael !!! Should be very useful learning Jerry's approach to soloing. I wish you had been around in the late 1960's when I was literally wearing out Dead albums trying to learn guitar.
Only a matter of time before you are posting "improvising melodies| phish" :D This is great.

R-3-5 = triad = arpeggios
Awesome topic!

Amazing tip.
This is awesome
Light bulb moment. Thanks man
Gold

Here to say as a subscriber of GuitarGate. Sign up. You won't regret it.
You should do a video on Widespread Panic's "Driving Song" or "Hatfield".
I've been trying to get him to do some Panic too 👍
Hi Micheal….how about a study of the great Alvin Lee’s “Bluest Blues” …the final solo by Alvin, is for me the greatest solo of all.
My hero’s are Jimi, Rory, Alvin, Micheal Bloomfield, Peter Green, Freddie King, John McLaughlin.
I love all your posts….the best.
You're the David Blaine of guitar teachers. But seriously, GREAT LESSON!!!!!!!
Ah! Wishful thinking to expect a Vreid song
What's the Silver Sky playing through? I sold mine and went back to a Strat because the tone seemed flat. Would have kept it if it sounded like this. Thoughts?
I would treat it as a I-VII progression in B.
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
I saw the title and thought of Charlie Daniels and The Marshall Tucker Band.
What is your pedal and amp setup, the tone you have on this so amazing! I know that PRS has a lot to do with it too though haha
It’s great content - a Deadhead guitarist’s dream. I’ll bet the view count would skyrocket with a different title. From a SEO standpoint Planning your attack” is a peculiar way of titling a Dead lesson. But like I said great content, and at any rate your videos get more views than mine!
OK! I'll change it right now. Let me know if you think a specific title is better. I appreciate it!
Wow yes - the new title has it all!
Yep yep there are plenty of GD tutorials out there (Marty Schwartz does a ton of Dead) but Jerry Garcia's guitar playing is all about improvisation and NOBODY is teaching it but you. So yes, Grateful Dead - Guitar Lession - Improvising/improvisation are all great words to have in the title. Thank you!
Lesson not lession lol.
Great episode! Dude I love you on a single coil! 😉how are you getting along with the neck?
Auxend LOVE the singles! Thx!
Jam track link??
You buy yourself a silversky? Or is that another loaner?
Brad Johnson loaner, but I want to buy it!
@@Guitargate dude I want that red one baaaaad! Might be getting a used one soon🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸
I’m waiting on one just like it! This video makes me look forward to it even more! 2 more days.

Anyone know howd he get his strum pattern to sound like that?!?!
He finger picked
Yes actually he was hybrid picking. But is there like a tutorial on that pattern or something?
...CHeers
did you just say "scaleierly"?
I really like these reaction videos but why are most of the bands so "off the wall?"
So why aren't you playing Mayer's licks if you're playing his PRS then lol?
Just cause you have an artist's guitar doesn't mean you gotta play like the artist all the time.
@@MrMusicM67 I'm aware of that. My attempt at humor failed. I thought it was kind of neat that he's using a Grateful Dead Jam, for this lesson, while playing a John Mayer SS PRS. Tis all.
