This is great! There's a long overdue need for deep explorations into Phils work and teaching other bass players. Because Phil never played the line the same way twice it's really helpful to talk about the modal influences and what modes we can work with to keep it interesting. Nice work! And on another note it would be kinda cool to see you take on latter day approaches to the songs when Phil was on a 6 string - the last 12-13 years of GD music.

This is Best way to teach Phil Lesh stuff. Well, here is the basic groove, now master these scales and chords on the entire finger board and let er rip.

[@seanhennessey9869]

Lesh very much influenced me, big time... although he was often so fakking busy and evasive of simple grooves and avoided root notes on the beat so often, I still see him as an early rock pioneer of bass and dig the creativity....it´s like what made him so good as a player sort of made him bad at times...I guess there is a musical moment for everything., . ...

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Yeah, his approach is so unique.

[@willgardner9193]

@@JeffWilliamsGuitar the fact that he was a pianist, not a bass player, has a ton to do with it. Also, amphetamine. :)

[@joshperry2430]

Phil is still out there doing it, and his band Phil Lesh And Friends has a more authentic Dead sound than Dead And Company. In my opinion. He's definitely one of the top bassist for me, even though he's not a popular choice.

[@GuitarsSave]

You are the bomb! Great lesson!

[@user-hx4lc1yw7q]

very helpful.
your power lies in distilling down the essentials to focus on.

[@jesszucker9573]

MY SECOND FAVORITE DEAD HEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@freddiesoverbite6162]

Kickass tone from that J bass.

[@donaldpasewark]

Nice! It sounds like you referenced the Other One from 5/2/70.

[@nid1600]

these lessons are really great, thanks a log!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Glad you like them!

[@prismo3661]

Fantastic lesson! More Dead bass please (~):}

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Hey thanks! Definitely more on the way...

[@jeffreybooze9287]

thank you for a great lesson

[@roytube10]

great timing jeff! a fellow player gave me a bass for xmas this year. never tried to seriously play one. i like your other gd lessons and backing tracks. was just thinking i wish someone could show me what phil does on some of those songs! granted, probably can't play that level yet but the fact i like the music might motivate more or at least give me some insight!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Go for it! Bass is so much fun and can really help improve someone's guitar playing too.

[@scottgoorman4237]

Thanks Jeff! I'm a bass player, but I have used a lot of your guitar baking tracks to help map out tunes I'm interested in learning.
One song that I would love to get a better handle on is Slip Knot. Thank! and Happy New Year!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Oh cool, I'm gonna start putting up some tracks without bass soon. Definitely plan on a Help into Slipknot at some point too!

[@elmoresam5173]

Thank you !

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

You're welcome!

[@KevinAnderson-gz9yk]

What about bass backing tracks? It would be great to have that to practice to. Thx for this!!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Coming soon!

[@bhumanishaya]

@@JeffWilliamsGuitar Exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

@@bhumanishaya No prob!

[@stoicfreediver]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 ✨💀✨

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Any time!

[@Nu.Rising86]

YEEAAAAAA!!!

[@sergeytoropin6428]

YES! THAT HAPPENED

[@Lakeibo]

Melissa by Allman Brothers ( Berry Oakley) please.

[@Lakeibo]

As well as more Dead!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Melissa yes! That's on my short list for upcoming backing tracks. Gonna extend the solo at the end. That'd be a great one for the bass too. Great idea.

[@KevinAnderson-gz9yk]

Jeff will you ever be posting the bass backing track for this one??

[@farmdogmusic2365]

Bass players need focus 2 with hippie 🎸 jams and general info 4 guitar to double riff s thx

[@DillonHughes]

How do you create your drum tracks? They sound so good!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Hey thanks Dillion! I used to use a combination of Apple Drums and Superior Drummer. Since last spring it's been a real drummer though.

[@thejesskaufman]

What's your signal chain for that bass tone? Sounds nice and punchy!

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

Thanks! Fender Jazz Bass, UA Apollo, Ampeg B15N plugin, and the Vulf Compressor (that adds a lot the punchiness and grit)

[@thejesskaufman]

@@JeffWilliamsGuitar Vulf compressor always gets the job done. Thanks!

Leah plays with a pick.

[@JeffWilliamsGuitar]

She sure does.

[@joshperry2430]

I've always admired the tone Phil can get with a pic

[@jimsullivan1010]

wrong

[@ventosvending4126]

This was so helpful my band is playing this and this really gave me a good understanding of what need to be done. Thanks!
