    One thing you can do on that C* is just pull off your middle finger on the D string and let it ring open for 1 strum then back on to a C. Super easy and sounds pretty good. Thanks for the lesson!

      I've always opted for a Bb where the C* is called out here. A lot of good passing tones available here I think, but that one always sounded good to me.

    Fun fact; Fennario is actually the old Scottish word for a region called Fife (where I’m originally from). Peggy-O which references Fennario was at one time called “The Bonnie Lass O’ Fyvie” or “The Maid Of Fife”.
    The name Weir also comes from Fife. One time during the 2000s Bob Weir and Ratdog played at the Kirkcaldy ice rink, which is around the area the name Weir would have originated. It’s also the town I was born in.

    Thanks for the tutorial, you inspired me to dig out the geetar out of the closet 2 weeks ago , between this one and the “Easy Wind” video that’ll probably keep me busy through the summer 😅

    By far the best person and tutorials for the dead but when he says "pretty easy right" I died a little inside

  • @Bacomonk
    @Bacomonk Před 2 lety +1

    The eloquently described "oooOOoOahHhHh" feeling from sneaking in the F# step-up in the verse is perfect for the murder theme

    Hey Davvy,
    LOVE your videos, I’ve watched nearly all of the play dead stuff but would fuckin love more acoustic lessons. Also a request very dear to me (although not an acoustic lesson)is the dead’s version of ‘I’m a hog for you’ the version off of the skull and roses reissue from like 2003 I think, they haven’t released the song any other time I’m pretty sure. Would love a lesson on that if you have the time bro.
    Much love from Ireland

    Maaan I wish the Dead did more acoustic. Yall frog humpers ever heard of the ol Ozark Mountain Devils? Now thems some boys. Thanks, Davy. Your heady energy permeates through my Babylon issued brain melting cell phone and makes it right to my heart. Jah Bless.

    Bro... I almost puked from laughing so hard at that pic of Ted Cruz next to the police sketch of the zodiac killer... He's got that stupid grin, like he knew he was posing for a comparative shot with the sketch.🤣😂 Oh, man, that wrecked me.
    I gotta watch it again.🙉🙈🙊

    Thanks for your generous postings.
    I wouldn’t call that a Caugmented (and augmented chord has a raised 5)
    That’s a Cadd9 (if you’re adding a d)

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Před rokem

      My board has a multitrack USB coming out of the back so it just plugs straight into my computer. Try looking those up on Amazon or eBay.

  • @unclchunk
    @unclchunk Před rokem

    I assume the skipped verses are just played like the 1st?
    1) When I awoke the dire wolf...
    2) In the backwash of Fennario...

    • @superchamp44
      @superchamp44 Před rokem

      You can do it that way but I think if you are playing along with a recording like on Reckoning, the "when I awoke" and "the wolf came in" versus are actually the same. Yes the Timbers.. and Backwash... (first and last) are the same. You can also think of this song with 3 different verse varieties, no bridge (even though Davy's bridge thing is hilarious every time).

    Hey Davvy, Jman here asking if you could lmk the best amp I could purchase for just at home jamming. I just got a Takamine thinline acoustic/electric and need a amp to bring out those sounds I know this baby can produce. Thanks bud and as always I app-re-she-ate cha' and all that u do.

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Před 2 lety

      If you’re just gunna be jamming on the acoustic, an acoustic amp would be best. Something that has some reverb and tone shaping. The ACOUSTIC A20 is pretty good and pretty cheap.

    @xxkmax730 Před 2 lety

    Is it just me or did you leave out the lines "when I awoke the dire wolf 600 lbs of sin.........come on in"?

    • @xxkmax730
      @xxkmax730 Před 2 lety

      Also the black and muddy mire, wolf collects his dues while the lads sing round the fire. Obviously you omitted these purposely but why? In the name of keeping the video shorter?

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  Před 2 lety +4

      I teach the sections of the songs, there’s no need to go over the same chords again just because you wanna hear the lyrics.
