So refreshing to see young dudes with such an insane grasp of the greats of yesteryear.. in terms of artist history and individual styles. Bob Weir.. eternally underapprectiated .. In his prime.. their was no one like him.. so unique.. great mix of "in the pocket/harmonic" and adventurous "out there" off time dissonant riffs. You definitely seem like you are at one with the flow here man. good stuff.. jealous of your chops.. be well.
I love love love this video, but the audio wasn't the greatest and my 51 yr old ears didn't quite understand everything that was said! But, the video did give me a lot of practice ideas, thank you for sharing with us!
Please do a lesson on fills and licks within a shuffle in the key of A. I see tons of players playing these basic shuffles but filling them up with tons of licks and double stops while staying in that 2nd fret area and A shape position. But i can't find any lessons on this stuff
Great video Dude! I’ve been playing around with these inversions for years, I was more influenced by Bobby than Jerry early on cuz everyone else wanted to do the Jerry part. It’s awesome to see people get excited about Bob’s playing style. Looking forward to seeing more of this 👍😎🎸🙏
How did you figure Bob out at such a young age? When I was a kid would talk about Bob Weir being a favorite and people thought I was stupid or something..."You mean Jerry Garcia". I wonder if you get that.
Daniel This is fantastic! We all need more of this in our lives. Also....there's a wonderful wild world that is Frank Zappa out there to be explored........pretty please?
Thanks a lot for this man, so inspiring. Any tips on how to create solos where phrases relate to each other? Also how to build a solo (like Mayer or Trucks do)
Good vid. Bob's playing is super unique and interesting. He loved using inversions as well as dissonant open strings and notes amd a sharp "stabbing" attack. I think this was to complement and contrast to Jerry's melodicism. Often bob is lower in the mix so its harder to hear all the cool riffs and soloing he actually does (china>rider transition is really a bob solo for example). Without bob's weird style GD doesnt sound like GD
I'm interested in this. There are times where I feel like I need a choppy rythym sound. And i only have like one tool to do that. Would like to be more varied in these situations. Playing country guitar This G chord you're showing me reminds me of the BG chopping G chord on the mandolin. It's a similar shape. Definitely can pick that up I really think Daniel Donato is the reincarnated version of Tony Rice and Jerry Garcia together. Like Jerry Rice ya know
Nice Stuff ,,Thomas Davis Im The Chinacat Jubilee Bandleader ,we.re on you tube ,,and im in Crosswind Junction,,on you tube ,In my Original Band.where i mix bobby and jerry stuff ,,on a you tube video,,splintered sunlight playing in the band 2001,,i played bobby songs ,,,,,rock on bro !!!
Hey, i’m looking into this specific pedal bobby used on tour with dead and company…if anyone out there is familiar with his rig, can you get back to me. the best way i can describe it is by having a really squishy sound-like a wah pedal with a little something extra. you can hear it at about 13:30 on a Let it Grow from the spectrum center in Charlotte on 11/28/17. Huge thanks to anybody who can point me in a direction.
Thats an envelope filter pedal. As for exactly which one, its hard to say. With GD he often used the Ibanez AF-9 using the 'down position' (for example on Shakedown street opening chord against Jerry's Mutron III envelope filter). With Dead & co it seems he tried a few diff new ones. Ive seen a pic where he used a 'micro-tron' which is a recreation of the Mutron III by musitronics original owner.... i've owned one and honestly didnt care for it personally. Mayer uses a Qtron for his envelope sounds. Original Musitronics mutron III (musitronics logo) is the best. Its expensive but man is it fun and easy to play.
Bob “the other one” Weir doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. My Dead preference is up through the Keith and Donna days. After that keyboards drowned him out and it was less interesting musically to me. Not saying there wasn’t great music made but I liked hearing Bobby.
I suggest you set aside your Jerrycentricity for a moment and consider the possibility that Weir was quite capable of developing his style without being "taught' by Garcia. Give Weir some credit! He's stated that he saw his role in the band as providing a connection between Jerry and Phil and said "it became very clear early on" that he could, for example, leave out the roots. Indeed, he utilizes many voicings with the 3rd in the bass. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Danny. I love what you are teaching and hate to be critical but I have a hard time understanding what you're saying. You are swallowing some of your words and talking too fast. Please practice the same clarity of articulation that all singers need.
The world needs more Bob Weir instruction. Can you believe there are fools out there who think he isn't a master?
Thank you for watching! #COSMICCOUNTRY
When the teacher smokes a Weir'd cigarette before class
LOL!
😂
Bob Weir fans are people too!!!

Cosmic country...well said brotherrr
Sabía esto sin saber musica, sin conocer el nombre de las notas, me sorprende que lo explique cómo lo hace el, recibió un don
Pyramid .10 - . 38 Nickel Classics. And inversions are awesome and so is octave displacement. Nice vid.

Absolutely loved this episode!! Keep em coming brother.
Great video!! So much great info packed into a small package, delivered with great clarity. Nice job!!

Love the energy coming off of this video
Yeeeeehaw!

Thanks for this. Hopefully, some day, Weir will be accorded the respect he deserves instead of simply being regarded as Jerry's junior side-kick.
Really fantastic Daniel. I can see you playing with Charlie Starr.
Daniel
This is fantastic!
We all need more of this in our lives.
Also....there's a wonderful wild world that is Frank Zappa out there to be explored........pretty please?

Great explanation of Bobby’s style.
Fantastic video bro, learned a thing or too here and really interesting to have a look into how Bobby plays

Without bob's weird style GD doesnt sound like GD
Hearing Bobby isolated is a revelation. Always wished he was a bit more prominent in the mix.

Does anyone know what guitar he's playing?
Gibson les Paul
It’s a Fender Telecaster. Beauty.

Good stuff, Daniel. My guess is Jerry pushed Bob early on to explore these inversions and voicings. What do you think?

No this is not the case. Bob studied jazz players like Mccoy Tyner using quartal chords and other voicing concepts
Stoned.
on life !

I assume he was high as giraffe balls while making this
Great video!
