"Weir'd Chords"// A Meditation on Bob Weir Pt. 1 // Daniel Donato Cosmic Country
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 сер 2020
- Bob Weir is my hero. His integration of western music in the jam space is a driving force that inspires my Cosmic Country stylings immensely. His consistent and persistent pursuit of his potential in music through learning, self-health, listener centricity, and undeniable wealth of self leaves me in wonder on a near daily basis. He's simply the man. This is PART 1. I did this first take and as I am typing this, I have several other ideas I will distill out here shortly.

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!!!
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.
Pyramid .10 - . 38 Nickel Classics. And inversions are awesome and so is octave displacement. Nice vid.
Yeeeehaw!
Cosmic country...well said brotherrr
Absolutely loved this episode!! Keep em coming brother.

Great explanation of Bobby’s style.
Great video!
Brilliant lesson, Dan. I've been listening since 1967 and this explains a lot. thank you for putting this together. I look forward to more.
Thank you for listening! Stay Cosmic #COSMICCOUNTRY
wow....wow
Boom. Instant fan.
Thank you for this
Thanks for watching! #COSMICCOUNTRY
Dude, great video synopsis, thx
Love the energy coming off of this video
Yeeeeehaw!
Great video!! So much great info packed into a small package, delivered with great clarity. Nice job!!
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 👍😎🎸🙏
Such a nice dude love your style
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.
Fantastic video bro, learned a thing or too here and really interesting to have a look into how Bobby plays
Really fantastic Daniel. I can see you playing with Charlie Starr.
Yeeehawwww!!!
Yeeeeeeehaw! #COSMICCOUNTRY

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)
that cat china lick, love u daniel
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!
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
Hearing Bobby isolated is a revelation. Always wished he was a bit more prominent in the mix.

when you made this did u think 2 years later you would be playing with bobby💞
I have a tele just like it with Fralin blues pickups….!
What an awesome video and a beautiful teacher ! Thanks brother! Will be tuning in for more!
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.
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
I enjoyed that very much!
Have you met Bob Weir?
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
Can I pay you for online guitar lessons? :)
Yes! My email is thedanieldonato@gmail.com
Let Phil sing. 😉
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.
Does anyone know what guitar he's playing?
Gibson les Paul
It’s a Fender Telecaster. Beauty.
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.
Good stuff, Daniel. My guess is Jerry pushed Bob early on to explore these inversions and voicings. What do you think?
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.
No this is not the case. Bob studied jazz players like Mccoy Tyner using quartal chords and other voicing concepts
Stoned.
on life !
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.
I assume he was high as giraffe balls while making this
Great video!
