Thanks guitar 30 years just bought a bass and love the dead you have a great way of teaching folks man hope your page grows and grows if I’m looking for a song and I see you I click on it!💥thanks for the lesson
Thank you , I subscribed, I play in a band that does some Dead tunes, I played mostly reggae and rock before. We do Fire so we should definitely give the crowd Scarlett too. So thank you
This one is all about the groove. Which is a weird thing to say about a Phil Lesh bass part, but '74 and '76 Scarlet had more of a funky, in the pocket groove, where '77 is that loose, reggaeish vibe, especially with those ridiculous slides like Cornell. Great lesson on a great bass part on one of the Dead's very best songs.
Jeff, could you please post a video showing how to play bass for Tennessee Jed? I could not find any good tutorials, and this one is very helpful. Thank you.
Awesome lesson! I feel it's so rare to see a lesson that incorporates theory so we know why we're playing what we're playing. Great job, man!
Thanks Joe, glad it's helpful!
Super helpful. Perfect way to teach a Phil bass line.
Glad it was helpful James!

Plus I have been to many Grateful Dead shows, and most modern incarnations and JGB before and after . It's really fun to play it now
Mix it up, Sugaree> Fire On the Mountain works really well, too.

Your Jazz Bass sounds absolutely fantastic. Would you please describe how you get your tone?
Thanks Bob. I'm recording direct in a US Apollo and using a Ampeg B15N modeled.
Cool dude thx
Any time
I dont think Phil Lesh even has a 'bass line' for this song beyond jamming mixollydian on the root notes of the specific spot. Which isnt a bad thing!
Is that white snoop dogg?
