    Great video. When anyone searches to learn a dead tune you'll be the one that ends up teaching them. That, my friend, puts you as part of the Dead story. I dig it. Thanks for doing the work

    Interesting that after 3 years, I’m finally watching this. I didn’t realize after listening to Jack Straw, how many chords are in this song!

    Just replace "sustained" with "suspended" about 20times in the video, that been said, it's a pretty great lesson.

    Your lessons are great, Davvy - thank so much for putting the time into them each week. One specific thing I really appreciate as more of a newbie guitar player is that you show the actual construction of each chord. I'm sure experienced players prob don't even notice but it is so helpful to those of us learning the song and also different positions for various chords at the same time. So many youtube lessons don't have charts, are hard to see quite what's being played (too fast or not close enough), and are just referenced by name as if it's a given that the chord shapes are known. You do a great job explaining them - so thanks for that ! That said - here's a request: some kind of lesson on Scarlet-->Fire (either / both / transition) ideas would be amazing...
