The single most under rate thing in the world of guitars is a guy who focuses on being the best rythm guitar player. Everyone wants to be in the spot light. The truth is the better rythm guitarist you are the better soloist you will be... Derek Trucks = ELITE level slide player
That's key for me (pun intended) because I play in DADGAD. Roman numerals make pretty much any tune transposable easily. And it matches my voice. So...more fingers please!
I feel this is not a guitar teaching channel, its a channel teaching musicianship, he just happens to use the guitar when doing it, but it fills alot of voids left from self teaching of UA-cam
I love these videos! Pro Tip: learn to use the UA-cam shortcut keys "j" to go back 10 seconds and "l" to go forward 10 seconds. You will be able to navigate videos during these reactions and deep dives without the need to get the mouse on the slider.
Warren is a freakin' beast! I've seen him several times. Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, The Dead. That man is amazing! I think his Dad cowrote this tune with him. I love that PRS! But I've said that before. Thank you for what you do brother! ☮🐉💀👽🎸🎶🎵😁
I saw Warren at summer fest Milwaukee one day, 90 minutes Mule set then one hours later 3 hours Of Allmans then 30 Min later 3 plus hours with Phil and friends. The man is a monster
HOLY SMOKES!!!!! This is one of the best vids I’ve ever watched on UA-cam - literally captures the soulshine of Soulshine and the soul of the band - and didn’t miss the “young” Derek - FANTASTIC!!!!!
Warren didn't write this song for the ABB. He wrote it in the mid 80's when he was a mainly employed as a songwriter in Nashville. Blues artist Larry McCray recorded it in 1989 before the ABB did. The ABB version originally appeared on their 1994 album Where It All Begins and was only recorded after they considered themselves done with the recording process. In fact, Dickey Betts had already departed and returned home. Tom Towd asked them to record one more song and Gregg Allman had heard the song and suggested it. The band recorded it without Betts, but left space on it for him to add a solo, sent him the tapes and he recorded his solo at his home.
Bro you are honestly a guitar legend. I love your teaching style and videos. You have helped me learn so much in a short amount of time. I have been playing for 15 years and have hit various plateaus. You have helped me break through several of them. I do apologize that I am not paying for your content because it’s honestly worth it. I hope I can in the future. I just wanted you to know even your free stuff has helped me significantly as a player.
Man I've been trying to learn this from Marty but you got me playing It the way love it and thanks. by the way I'm a friend of Warren Haynes. we used to hang out together at the brass tap in my and his hometown. Asheville. he's even been to my house.. I never knew he would ever be the Super star he is now and im so proud of him. thanks for the lesson
Bro this is hands down the best guitar tutorial I've ever seen. It's not long and draaaaawwnn out. It's really well delivered and explained. The WHY and the HOW delivered with a genuine excitment and love for the music . I have a lot of catching up to do thank you for sharing 🤙🏽
RIP Greg Allman. Hate to say it, but when you said "no one does it better" I couldn't help but think..."maybe not, but Warren Haynes is sure as hell taking those reigns and is a hell of a vocalist and guitarist." Like you, he has been one of my favorite vocalists and guitarists for a LONG time. I need to see Govt Mule live before I die. I'm 31, so I'm hoping I have a long time before that day comes haha.
Thank you for keeping the jam bands in new ears. This is truly the most beautiful and most intricate form of music. Warren Haynes should definitely be in jam band hall of fame
Well, our state is burning (California) - stuck inside because the air quality is hazardous and I can't say I'm not depressed. This song makes me happy, and I decided to learn more of the electric version and saw your video. EXCELLENT! Thank you so much - such an amazing song, and I never knew that there was a version with Trey, Derek & Warren, my 3 favorite guitar players. Great lesson as always!
great episode. amazing song. Love Warren Haynes. Took a friend to see Derek three years ago, at the end of the show he just looked at me and said that is one of the best musicians i have ever seen live regardless of instrument. His live sound in a theater is just unreal... unreal.
Love how all three guitarist where finishing each others frase, thats some real musicians right there. You bring up some great points on when to use certain melodies.
i love this song. I love playing this song. this lesson you created just rewrote how I play this song.. I'm not a music theory person, but you just showed me why this is the greatest song. Thanks for this
Man, I enjoyed this so much. You continually pick songs and artists that I care about, and this deep dive episode was a jewel. Probably the best one I’ve see you do yet. Certainly considering signing up for some lessons from you. Might be just the thing to do while chilling at the house over the next few weeks. Thanks!
I have never come across your site before so I decided to take a look at this song, not only an Allmen brothers fan bjt Greg happens to one of my biggest influences. That being said.I have been lmaying about 1Year an 8 months but have taught myself everything through guys like yourself over this time. An recently been working on seeing an feeling these very perticular ways to play more emotjonal an J have to say the way you explain this is without a doubt the most informational and educational experience I ve had in almost 2 years. I ve done alot a work theory wise an proud to say I understood an made use of every word you said. Very connected to the way you brought this across. An I will be searching your library an learning much more from you. Thanks an you will be hearing more from me .
I've watched alot of these videos and am on guitargate. This video has a plethora of practical tips that we can use today in our playing. Such a great teacher. Never ignores any of the complexity.
Love to see the passion for music when you play. I will never understand people who don't feel that way. I just want the music to come out of my fingertips. (After a lot of practice)
Great breaking down of the song, the emotional side of the music, im 70 yr old and love this song more every time is listen to it, bout brings tears to my eyes, thinking about my life and life's lessons. Thanks alot for the lesson.
Your comments on this song are so, spot on. Your showed me that your taste in music is just like mine. I have played this song for years, but was missing many of the subtleties. Subscribed!!
I attended all the Wanee's from 2009 until the end. It was a privilege to see this level of performance and though there are still exceptional performers out there I really miss lineup. Thanks for doing what you do.
Oh man, this was excellent! Thanks for putting this together! I suspect any downvotes were people who didn't get that you were recording a loop at the very beginning and they bailed. I'm sure glad I stuck around. Great lesson. I'm a subscriber now.
Your absolute right I have been at the guitar for.just 3 years but when I heard this song it just changed me I work more on my phrasing trying to make my guitar sing not easy but this guitar playing
I had this on and saw you had a reaction for it in the suggestions, had to come by and say it would be fun to take a drink every time Trey Anastasio bends the same note in this song. Drugs 'r bad, m'kay.
Check out anything from the Ohne Filter show the Allmans did in Germany in 91. 🤯 Amazing stuff. Dickey and Warren both killing it. My favorite is Blue Sky performance from that show. Also great One Way Out and Liz Reed among others
I saw this era of ABB at every opportunity. Hell, let's get a 'back where it all begins' study. The first solo is Warren & the second is Dickey. Let's get a breakdown from the maestro on this one: ua-cam.com/video/M4UFm_xhXwg/v-deo.html
Mike Dawes - Slow Dancing In A Burning Room (John Mayer) ft. Nick Johnston These guys put some great extra (out of key) notes into this classic and I would love to see you break it down for those little flare notes. I watch most every video and have been subscribed for a while and love the way you break down progression and mode and mixing aspects of songs. Keep up the great work of educating and entertaining.
Just wanted to leave the comment here: I'm a bass player but I ALWAYS look forward to your videos when you post. Gives me a lot to chew on when it comes to breaking down tunes and music in general! Please keep it going! 🤘🏾🎸
@@Guitargate Okay! Lastly, this artist is one that actually got me interested in bass guitar in the first place. Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner is not your "bassist's bassist" but what he does with the instrument is really intriguing to me! I'm working on covering this song on my own one day, but "Them Changes" by Thundercat is a really groovy song! ua-cam.com/video/lVqETCMg3SA/v-deo.html
Decided while I was doing some dishes that I would like to listen to some gov't mule. Then I thought it's time to try to transcribe a song and Soulshine was perfect. I go to pull it up and what is the third youtube listing? This. So I did give it a go and got pretty close. But you filled in some gaps like hanging on that 2 and how the Eb7 is essential. You made me laugh at 2350 when Derek comes in. Your little moan of pleasure was perfect. Thanks
My new favorite channel you are bring my days of running around the country chasing the dead, panic, mule and phish all back and letting me learn this shit I have tried forever.
Been following your channel for a while now (mainly watch the dead videos) but only songs I've heard before. Please don't hate me but I've only just found this song and wow, just fucking wow, this could be my new favorite song. But Michael I must say I love your channel and videos, your passion is amazing, infectious but also you're helping me learn and become a better musician
I heard this song for the first time yesterday, and was hooked as soon as the intro solo started. Opened youtube today to learn it and was so glad to see your face pop up! Such a great teacher!
Ah !!! Lucky you ... It's a great song and it's so good especially when you first hear it .. lol it feels like you just discovered there is hope after all lol...
Michael you’ve done some Great videos over the years, but this one has got to be one of my favorites. It’s got everything; mixing major and minor, the importance of learning the vocal melody, “the tag”, the song theory… thank you for putting in the work, to help us all get where we want to go.
Wow! This is the first of your vids that I've seen and the instant I realized what you were doing with it, I subbed! What a fantastic way of teaching a song, not to mention, style of play! I'll be spending time on this one! Thanks!
Thank you for explaining the "why's and what's".....love this tune. As soon as we get back together my band will be doing this tune. Adding to our line of AB tunes for sure. !!
Picking up from a few videos back... This setup and camera angle is pretty damn good. Looks pro with the guitars, amps and sound boards in the back. Having the superimposed video over your left shoulder works well too. Another great lesson! Thanks Guitargate!
Man you picked a monster song to deep dive into! Thank you! This song is by far, as you’ve mentioned, the best of the best. As a guitar myself I have and probably will never successfully emotionally deliver to my own satisfaction a cover due to the respect I have for Warren and Derrick. Love what you do Michael! Cheers
I just wanted to say thank you. I am a long time music listener who has picked up guitar tons of time with no avail, but I LOVE your channel. I love listening you talk about theory and musicianship and how music makes you feel. I have absolutely 0 musical talent, but if you happen to be in the Seattle area.. I would come take lessons from you just to learn how to listen and process music. REALLY appreciate all your hard work and your energy.
Dude this was like attending a concert with a close friend, who knows a lot. Man , this was so much fun. Can't wait to check out your other stuff. Beautiful, just beautiful, keep up the good work. Thanks so much for this.
I love this channel and you passionately describing what’s happening with the intervals and the mixing of major and minor. I know , I know you have to make a living… but your free material is like hanging out with a fellow music fanatic , and now I don’t feel like the only weirdo in my family just listening to the same song over and over because of all the nuances that can easily be missed by the casual listener. But your right! That’s why you love that part of the song!
It is so simple to start explanation that this is in Gm, but the song fits with its relative major Bb. The VI is then D# which is the relative major of Cm, and then the IV F which is the relative major of Dm, of course he uses as well Em as a sixth of Gm. That is why he plays Gm at the begining of the neck.
Recently also transcribed the album version of this. Great tune with great guitar playing. These kind of videos are pure gold. Glad someone is approaching music and guitar playing in youtube this way instead of telling where fingers go. Watched couple of your videos already and you went straight to my top 3 youtube guitar channels. More videos like this and never stop! 😎
Hey Mike, nothing wrong with a Coors light, 😂 Great lesson. Absolutely love the explanation for why better than moonshine is our favorite part without knowing.
Took a look by chance at one of your videos: Dead's "Deal" - hey! Followed a comment leading to "Morning Dew" at Winterland - wow!. Pushed the link to your channel - latest video: "Soulshine" - how come you know all my favorites??? Had to subscribe immediately.
What a song! And, one great lesson. Definitely gonna dive in deeper to this one. Ever time I think I've saw it all. You intrigue me once more Michael. This song has a great melodic sound, with an equally awesome chord progression. Thanks for sharing such awesome music with lesson and knowledge you can't find anywhere else. Your a great musician. Thanks for sharing your gifts to the world man. I'm taking advantage. 😉 😃 🙂
Basicly this is a song written by Van Morrison, half a mile from the county fair and the rain came pouring down. Called And it stoned me. The intro is usually played with memories of freebird and the bands music from the big pink
I'm really loving your channel. Dead, Umphs, Panic, Phish, ECT. It's like reliving my 98- 06ish years but I get educated with not only the what but also the why of what I love so much. Of course there are many bands you haven't touched yet like moe. but all in time. Anywho, I can't pay you but I love watching your content. I think "Effigy" by Gov't Mule should be a video. Thanks brother!
Fortunately, i have seen him multiple times also. Seen him at the clay center in wv, with the state orchestra playing grateful dead the whole show,,,,,,,,and drum roll, playing Jerry Garcia wolf guitar, i was 1st row.
very much enjoyed watching this video, especially you relishing the mule's performance :D you gave a lot of honor to this great song. thanks for extra information too. good job!
This is actually exactly what guitar UA-cam is missing. Instead of a straight lesson, it’s learning how songs work and why they do. Good stuff man 🤘
Thank you Shane!
No prob!
this is so true!
The single most under rate thing in the world of guitars is a guy who focuses on being the best rythm guitar player. Everyone wants to be in the spot light. The truth is the better rythm guitarist you are the better soloist you will be... Derek Trucks = ELITE level slide player
Thank you for holding up the chord number with your fingers as it is in the song, this is something NOBODY ELSE teaching does!!!
Yeah man!
That's key for me (pun intended) because I play in DADGAD. Roman numerals make pretty much any tune transposable easily. And it matches my voice. So...more fingers please!
I feel this is not a guitar teaching channel, its a channel teaching musicianship, he just happens to use the guitar when doing it, but it fills alot of voids left from self teaching of UA-cam
Derek playing is always about leaving space for the rest of the music,and Warren's the man because he can play, sing ,and write anything.
We are all blessed to get to witness Derek Trucks. What a legend
Welcome to the DEEP DIVE. Live track analysis starts at 6:25. Hammer the IV7 in the chorus and please don't leave your minor 3rd at home.
@@MrCartneydubose1 dude that's awesome
@@MrCartneydubose1 Was it Duane Allman's early group the Allman Joys?
@@MrCartneydubose1 I think they went by The Allman Joys for a while. That's something I heard once or twice.

“We all wanna be Derek Trucks” lol truer words have never been spoken.
No March madness, no Masters, or any sports for that matter. No problem, Guitargate will get us thru!! Keep up the great work.
BAM!
No master's is killing me
Soulshine feels like a warm welcome back home after yesterday's wild and crazy vacation to the wizard burial ground...
FACT
Warren is a freakin' beast!
I've seen him several times.
Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, The Dead. That man is amazing! I think his Dad cowrote this tune with him.
I love that PRS! But I've said that before.
Thank you for what you do brother!

Ed did not co write Soulshine.

Gavin Paterson I was there that year and saw all three too! Every time Warren comes up in conversation I bring that up. Amazing.
this is the way songs should be taught on youtube....love it👌👌👌.Thanks Michael🙏🙏🙏

Saw Gov’t Mule in ‘09 in Milwaukee at the rave. Small venue so we were right up front. Warren Haynes is the man!
Wow thats cool. Showing the live tune and instruction. I usually learn the tune while its blasting thru our pa. Kudos!

I love this channel and you passionately describing what’s happening with the intervals and the mixing of major and minor. I know , I know you have to make a living… but your free material is like hanging out with a fellow music fanatic , and now I don’t feel like the only weirdo in my family just listening to the same song over and over because of all the nuances that can easily be missed by the casual listener. But your right! That’s why you love that part of the song!
It is so simple to start explanation that this is in Gm, but the song fits with its relative major Bb. The VI is then D# which is the relative major of Cm, and then the IV F which is the relative major of Dm, of course he uses as well Em as a sixth of Gm. That is why he plays Gm at the begining of the neck.
Why doesnt this video have more likes? Such a Iconic song.... fun just to play along with you Michael! I love the use of minor over this major run
I love you passion Michael! Am watching this tune over and over again. Cant get enough! Thank you!
Great video, man, and one of my most favorite songs. Thanks for the great instruction.

Loved this song for awhile. Since 08
Just found this - you unlocked a song I’ve been trying to master for a LONG time. Phenomenal, thanks dude ✌️🎸🎶🎵👀
Recently also transcribed the album version of this. Great tune with great guitar playing. These kind of videos are pure gold. Glad someone is approaching music and guitar playing in youtube this way instead of telling where fingers go. Watched couple of your videos already and you went straight to my top 3 youtube guitar channels. More videos like this and never stop! 😎
You single handedly got me fired up again about the guitar. Thank you
Edit: OK two hands ha..
Hey Mike, nothing wrong with a Coors light, 😂
Great lesson. Absolutely love the explanation for why better than moonshine is our favorite part without knowing.
Warren is one of my favorites
You have a deep well to explore with Warren. He is my favorite. Thanks for video.
Took a look by chance at one of your videos: Dead's "Deal" - hey! Followed a comment leading to "Morning Dew" at Winterland - wow!. Pushed the link to your channel - latest video: "Soulshine" - how come you know all my favorites??? Had to subscribe immediately.
Great!!
Guitarists LOVE Derek for his vocals! As do I!
Great channel, finding great clips. Your delivery, and enthusiasm is infectious. Keep it up. Best STU
What a song! And, one great lesson. Definitely gonna dive in deeper to this one. Ever time I think I've saw it all. You intrigue me once more Michael. This song has a great melodic sound, with an equally awesome chord progression. Thanks for sharing such awesome music with lesson and knowledge you can't find anywhere else. Your a great musician. Thanks for sharing your gifts to the world man. I'm taking advantage. 😉 😃 🙂
Basicly this is a song written by Van Morrison, half a mile from the county fair and the rain came pouring down. Called And it stoned me.
The intro is usually played with memories of freebird and the bands music from the big pink
I'm really loving your channel. Dead, Umphs, Panic, Phish, ECT. It's like reliving my 98- 06ish years but I get educated with not only the what but also the why of what I love so much. Of course there are many bands you haven't touched yet like moe. but all in time. Anywho, I can't pay you but I love watching your content. I think "Effigy" by Gov't Mule should be a video. Thanks brother!
My friend, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video! Such passion, great taste and excellent information to boot! Fantastic..
Thank you!
Fortunately, i have seen him multiple times also. Seen him at the clay center in wv, with the state orchestra playing grateful dead the whole show,,,,,,,,and drum roll, playing Jerry Garcia wolf guitar, i was 1st row.
Gorgeous song...great instruction..Warren makes life tolerable...ty sir
I’d love to see some analysis of the Allman Brothers older stuff like from At Fillmore East
very much enjoyed watching this video, especially you relishing the mule's performance :D
you gave a lot of honor to this great song. thanks for extra information too. good job!
