    Woohoo!
    Thank you Davvy. Thats a lot of great ideas to have fun with. I have a story to share.
    A couple of years back, I went to rishikesh(india) with my guitar. Made a friend on the way. He showed me around some cool places. Later that night we stayed in a hostel and there was a area to hang out. There were only a couple of other folks hanging out. So i played friend of the devil for my friend and the guy who was sitting in a corner, sporting a tie dye t-shirt(he must have been from america) came and sat nearby to listen to me play. And his smile paid due for all the hours i had spent in learning the dead tunes.

    My bassist refuses to play the slow version. I'm not interested in debating which one is better. But, this tutorial is a gateway drug to its appreciation. I learned far more than i thought was remotely possible. There are some tasty nuances that simply escaped me before. Definitely gonna play it now. Cannot sufficiently express my appreciation. Great job, dude.

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Před 3 lety +1

      Hell yeah, dude. You gotta throw some variety in there. There’s a time and place for each version, but the slower one definitely wins in my book. I feel it tells the story much clearer.

      The slow version is superior. theres a reason jerry slowed it down

    Love how you pick and choose specific versions of all these beautiful GD numbers. Honestly I was not stoked to see Friend as the song this week but You know I am here to support ya my man. Much love and you know I want more Bobby Jams: Looks Like Rain. Peas'

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Před 3 lety

      Well, I hope since this Friend was a little more complex it wasn’t boring for you, bro. And more Bobby jams are coming. Yes indeed.

    Great song selection! Thinking this might be the medium-speed version compared to that clip at 7:14 - no way I could play it that slow sitting here myself! Great arrangement and congrats on the first 1000!. "Keep on Growing!" yeah, that was a nod to a rarely played tune.
