- A 10-minute loop based on Dark Star by the Grateful Dead, designed for practicing the A Mixolydian mode. Includes chord/scale diagrams for guitarists. Created by HighCountryGuitar.com using Garage Band. More on my CZcams channel, and plenty of lessons etc. at the website!

Want to let you know I've listened to several Dark Star Jam tracks and yours is the first to actually get the right drum groove. It makes a huge difference. Thank You!
Ditto this. This one swings, rather than being a straight 4. I know there are some gigs where they worked into a straight 4, like at Veneta 8/27/72, but that was after 8 minutes of this tempo and feel.
Had a fun hour or so playing with you/this... Thanks
These videos have easily improved my playing and for that I am grateful to you. Thank you.
Rich Meny are you dead though
Imabeatyouman dead beyond belief
so Grateful for this jam track!!! Hours of enjoyment
This is so great. Thank you. I use it with my students often.
I still suck at guitar, but this makes my sucking at guitar so much fun!
I was thrown off at first by the subtle differences from the actual DS progression, yet after doing this a few times, I really dig this backtrack. yea mon!
This is so tremendous! Thank you so much. This more than ANYTHING else has improved my playing tremendously. I'm starting to clnnect all the dots with this A mixolydian= D major = the 1st position of E minor pentatonic=D major pentatonic / G major pentatonic. I'm up and down the whole fretboard now with this and feeling really great about it. Thankyou so much, This is the most beneficial lesson I've ever come across and not a word said. Amazing! Thank you Thank you Thank You HighCountryGuitar !!!
I just wanted to say this is really nice. I am having a blast jamming out endlessly to this and some of your other tracks. Great stuff, and I need to try more of these. Thanks for the effort and seriously tasteful arrangements. I'm almost tempted to make a youtube vid playing with your background track just for fun!
THANK YOU!
please do wharf rat. so i can loop them together, and never leave my house
Lol...duly noted. Would be an easy enough track to make.
Nice job! Would love for you to add the chorus section too!
speed it up to 1.25 and its the actual proper speed of the original version
wait...what "original version??" There is no set way to play Dark Star. There is no set tempo. There is no chord progression. Every...Single..Time... they played it, it was different, and open to the interpretation of 5 (or 6) different musicians on 5 different instruments.
@@jwright4686 esatto dio cane
what are the chords, is it A to G?
I think I played the rhythm guitar as A - A - G - Asus4, all while droning the open A string as a bass note.
What shows are these send please
I am recording an entire series of Dark Stars - no other musicians. Here is DS - Phase 15. - czcams.com/video/5Pi64hxS3QI/video.html
It’s in Dmaj Pentatonic, Not AMaj. He Pentatonic Fingering is on the wrong spot I believe.
D major pentatonic would not be wrong, and in fact G major pent. works pretty well too. But the song is in A, and A major pentatonic has all of the chord tones of A in it. Only drawback is that it might make it sound like Dickey Betts playing Dark Star, lol.
