      Getchur fingerstyle practice in! I'm still shit at finger picking and usually just give up and play with a pick~
      Still sounds good but doesn't have that Garcia flare, that's for sure.

    • @erikhendrickson59
      @erikhendrickson59 3 роки тому +12

      @John Waller very few people I've talked to, even other gutair players, ever cite Garcia as "one of the greats."
      He kinda flies under the radar a bit for anyone who's not dead head. Even more so Bob Weir.

I just wanted to thank you for ALL YOUR GUITAR VIDEOS some of us old poops still love our guitars but don't have the chops to play as well as we'd like or should after 50 yrs of playing. I love GRATEFUL DEAD TUNES....ALRHEA IS ONE OF MY FAVE TUNES OF ALL TIME...TAKE IT EASY. HAVE A GRATEFUL DAY

    @johnlagreca6288 Рік тому

    Adding comment. This is a great song (always liked and respected it, but never knew how much it could teach me) and a great chord/picking lesson. Move that starting E riff up to the 7th fret on the A string at times and have an embellishment journey. So good, thanks Marty.

  • @streetvan1997
    @streetvan1997 5 років тому +1

    So glad as a amateur guitarist we live in a time tabs and videos to play my favorite songs are easily availabke . Like Althea which is easily one of my fav songs ever. While the chords are fun what really keeps me going is wanting to be able to play lead sections of these songs, some are simple and can figure out and memorize like the lead section of loser, but songs like midnight moonlight you gotta know music theory more which is tough at that level, so many diff guitar scales, it's overwhelming, I'm 38, hopefully someday will be able to, wish more videos showed lead sections of Jerry songs. Some are out there.

    @themadlooper3272 6 років тому

    Awesome lesson. I figured out my own embellishments that I could handle as a noodler and even dibble dabbled playing it with power chords which can actually be done pretty decent once I figure out how to get the Asus thingy in there. Open chords still sound a little better but it was fun to play around with it.
