      Hey, thanks for joining the Play Dead fam! And I’ve recently started putting lead examples toward the end of videos. No tabs yet, but soon perhaps. Although, I am a huge supporter of improv. Hey never plan a solo. But maybe I could give a few “Jerry style” tips.

    Grateful for your videos. May I ask a super nooby question? :/ When you say it's G, to EM, I noticed your starting all the way towards like the 5th fret and doing some sorta barre chord?
    When I read G I EM - x3 , I think G chord, into em major chord. But clearly I am wrong. How should I read/approach that? Thanks for helping dead music

    I need to work on that C shaped G....and sliding it! There is a G triad on the top strings right there, but it's pretty chimey(high pitch). I grab the E shaped G at fret 3 and slide that up for now. Also, I think this is the song I am going to work on singing with. I haven't ever considered singing until recently. It seems like I should now...my playing is pretty decent, I want to tell stories while I play. Thanks Davvy! Always entertaining....

    Bro I love and appreciate these lessons so much. I consider myself an intermediate guitar player, know all my cowboy chords, quite a few barre chords, and some scales. My one small suggestion is maybe explain some of the chord shapes you are using cause some of them are new to me, lol. I'm totally hooked though, learned four songs yesterday.

    'walked up to the cathouse picked me a tart .. hug up my pistols she did her part .. as soon as my head cleared and i could think .. went back to that barroom for another drink .. and it was then that our good time began to sink .. ' now the saga is complete ...

      Sante Fe is actually just about halfway between West Colorado and South Texas. I googled me and my uncle lyrics. I was correct. Sorry Toby you can’t always be right. Why don’t you look it up?
      Who met me and the pony ? No disrespect,I love your videos, it took me quite some time to figure out that lyric. So according to your lyric there is actually a third unidentified person who met him and his uncle and “me” had a pony. Are you smoking that dirt weed? You need some hybrid.

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Před rokem

      Not looking to be right. I know I’m wrong a lot of the time. But this lesson is years old now, you are not the first person to come at me with this. So, here are the lyrics taken straight from the front page of google, “Me and my uncle went ridin' down
      To South Colorado, West Texas bound
      We stopped over in Santa Fe
      That day on the pony, just about halfway
      And you know it was the hottest part of the day”
