Sweeeet!!!
Perhaps - Sugaree since you're on a roll...Outstanding teachings here! Enjoy the quick, clear and no nonsense approach - Thanks ❤

Thanks! It's more like "Deal" solo in under 5 hours for me (as in I keep replaying the video and it's going to be 5 hours of watching it before I get). But boy if this isn't an amazing ear training exercise. Perfect for my level. 🙏

[zummo]

All right!!! you HAVE acknowledged that E chord is an A. 👍🏼. It’s neat how Jerry evolved this solo over the years. It started as just an pentatonic over all the chords at a pretty slow tempo to an intricate chasing of chord tones at breakneck speed. I think it was a challenge he made for himself.

[mkrj]

Great. This clip is going into my guitar practice files. Thank you.

[bobarazzi]

I agree with the other moderately skilled player, the positive one. This is great ear training and combined with slowing down the video a great way to learn very useful licks. Thanks.

This is great Gabe - I found you through IG and I have to say that your stuff is really, really great. Thank you for bringing the genius of Jerry Garcia to the masses!!!

[flonsdg]

This is the perfect balance between short, useful and understandable, would love to see an example like this for every dead song! Haha

[Esmee]

Love the video! I've been trying to figure solos/songs out by ear, but it is still really difficult, however with your video I can see and hear the playing to figure it out, which is really helpful.

Took me about a month to get it smooth but finally got it! First dead solo. Thanks a lot man!

[brianstevenson]

great work! Thank you, can’t wait till I practice this !!!

[plettescott]

This is a great video. Learned the solo, but also learned some things I could apply to other areas. Thank you!

[svsugvcarter]

Took me a bit, but I got it. Love this format as I can slow it down as needed without breaking the flow of how Jerry groups certain notes. Great insight into a solo that I already had cemented in my brain over the years. More please!

[uberjam-sam]

Excelente your phrasing and timing are so so good

[brendanmaher]

I’m so disappointed I didn’t start playing this song until now. It’s among the most fun to play. My top 3 dead songs to play currently are Deal, they love each other and either bertha or franklins tower depending on the day.

I wish I was good enough to follow along and actually learn what you teach in a very advanced way, but good stuff. I have a Led Paul and wish it sounded like yours.

GABRILE BERGMAN, Try to make a video lesson show a bunch of jerry garcia HABITS he does often in his solo licks because he uses often chromatic enclosures and uses 3 to 6 note groupings going up and down scales in certain garcia patterns. LIve at 1974 winterland boxset which is 6 CD disc he does this most often in his scale runs.

[kckjvru]

Is there a tab for this? I’m having trouble seeing what you’re doing

[RobertWeir]

It actually goes D7 to ADim before going back to the A the first time

[stevelandress]

Why do I want to learn a Grateful Dead solo? The whole point of the Dead was improvisation. You should teach how to improvise over the chords.

[markhimberger]

Yeah you did it in 5-minutes but you’re deluding yourself thinking that you actually were effective in teaching it in that short a time…..!!

Don’t try to market me with quips of “5 minutes or less”……!!!

Do another video and take the requisite time to go over the lick repeatedly until folks can get it…….!!
