    Jerry Garcia and a puppy. I say to myself, what a wonderful world.

  • @KevinIlsen
    @KevinIlsen Před 3 lety +48

    These are great examples that illustrate how the pentatonic scale is the "train" and the chord shapes (with their individual chord tones) are the "stations." You don't stay on a train forever; you use the train to move you to a station, where you get off and take in the sights (and sounds). You can get back on the train and take it to another station any time; the important thing is: get off the train!

    Big-time Deadhead here, been playing guitar about 47 years. Ian presents exactly what I was looking for - a way to thoroughly understand how chords and scales relate to one another (CAGED notwithstanding :o) and how to solo over chord changes. Coming from a place of "playing by feel" I think this is the kind of learning and discipline I need to get to that "whole other level" which seems like second nature to my more musical "talented" buddies in local bands. Like most things in life it's 10 % talent and 90 % dedication and persistence! Peace.

    Dude, been playing in a dead cover band for 15 years, I'm a decent player but always found it hard, at times, to connect chords smoothly i.e. when and where are the right passing tones, the ear candy that captures that listener. Your 1-5 connection lesson is fantastic! Plus I love the way you do not necessarily stress a chord tone on the one beat. Thank you, peace, Birks

    As a Bay Area resident, I’ve always been a fan of Jerry Garcia since the “Live Dead” double album that came out in the mid to late 60s. In 1969 and 70, I would see him playing pedal steel guitar with the “New Riders of the Purple Sage” every Wednesday night at the Inn of the Beginning” in Cotati’ Ca. I’m looking forward to this lesson!!

    first of all I must thank you for being so kind and helpful , I really like to say you are the best teacher I have ever come across and that makes it so unique, I have been so frustrated learning how to figure out things on guitar over a period of years, I almost wanted to quit couple hours ago and I only stumbled on your channels and I watched it and felt my hope to learn how to play guitar is not lost,I haven't clicked on your channels but I know I must, words will not be enough to thank you

  • @thewizardofnowhere-officia7083

  • @JESL_TheOnlyOne
    @JESL_TheOnlyOne Před rokem +1

    Before I even start watching the video, that little bit of Jerryness right at the beginning is a perfect illustration of what always attracted me to Jerry's playing (even though I'm a Bobby fan boy): how *musically logical* Garcia is.
    Just watching you play a few bars exemplifies the point perfectly.

  • @mikem668
    @mikem668 Před rokem +2

    Wow. This is fantastic. Two of the songs I'm working on have V - I moves. Sugaree and No Expectations. Just last night I finally got the timing down on the riffs within the rhythm parts of Sugaree. Exploring the possibilities, based on knowing the melody, I created some of my own that sounded pretty good. I know it's B Mixolydian, but that hasn't proven that helpful yet. Who knew you teach me my first arpeggios the next day, ones I could actually apply. Thanks so much. My lucky day.

    I didn’t know about how Mr Garcia was playing, looks like this is how I play too without knowing the technical or some of the theoretical aspects, I play more by the feel and sound, this video helps me understand it more as how a pro approached, thank you!

      So crazy seeing my comment here. Watched this (along with many of your other videos) and have been on a great musical journey the last couple of years. Today, LITERALLY today, I was thinking how I needed to improve on connecting chords and understanding these intervals without having to even think about it. Lo and behold this popped up in my feed again and this time my brain was ready for it. In fact this was exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

  • @thebehavioralobservationsp8311

    Fantastic vid Ian. After years of mindless penta noodling, I’m really enjoying learning how these arpeggios contribute to making great solos. Thanks so much!

    nice work, I subcribed to your channel, I've been playing for about 25 years, played in a variety of projects, never Dead stuff, but i have worked a bunch of Garcia licks and tricks myself (took alot of listening work and watching videos). Dew, Dark Star, Althea, He's Gone to name a few and a bunch of his acoustic stuff...he weaves around so beautifully and those peel off licks great stuff

    Good stuff, indeed. Arpeggios! Of course. That's why a lot of Jerry's solo's "sparkled" Like crystal raindrops. Arpeggios, but modified, so they had a nebulas feel.

  • @mamutcat
    @mamutcat Před 3 lety +3

    Thank you, Ian. I've been working these licks on pedal steel. Whole different feel. I love how the first lick starts on the high B and then bends from a lower 6 to dom7. Totally unexpected and not anything I would have thought of. JG was so lyrical and sounded so folksy- but it's brilliance disguised. It all sits nicely on the steel (with some work, of course).

    • @johnblood10
      @johnblood10 Před 2 lety +1

      Always makes me happy to hear from a fellow pedal steel player! And wonderful to see Jerry’s steel playing receive the regard & respect it fully deserves. He was a unique voice on the instrument, which (IMO) has a lot to do with how vast & diverse his catalogue of songs is. Surely he picked up some phrasing ideas from tons of artists/genres well outside of the country & folk realm; most pedal steel players I’ve met are super talented, theory-conscious players but, in a manner of speaking, they don’t “step out of Nashville” very often, I.e . they play & listen to country and/or Southern gospel almost exclusively.
      Toy Caldwell (of The Marshall Tucker Band) played a pretty similar pedal steel role with that super-underrated band; the tune “Losing You” from their self-titled debut album is a prime cut of his steel work.
      BTW, what type of guitar are you using?

    So Jealous, your puppy is beautiful...I LOVE bulldogs. Thanks for the videos, no else explains Jerry even close, they all keep trying to explain the music theory about why it works...but even though Jerry knew music theory he was not "thinking" of it while dancing his fingers across fret board...only while writing an arrangement. Knowing the theory tells you ZIP about how the feel of it works.
