Very cool. I lived in Italy as a child and had a punk band in high school. We used to go to all the big concerts that came there and scam our way back stage since we spoke English with American accents.
To be precise in the descending run you profile at 2:22 forward he actually picks several of the notes 2-4 times, especially on the A. I've playing this song since 1968.
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar it was interesting for me to hear that version as well as the 80s version, because I heard 77 first. I love the funky Cornell version and really like Jerry’s lead. Not to mention that one section in the middle of the jam, not sure how to describe it but it’s always in there during spring of 77, usually toward the end of the jam
You’d probably know this. I always wonder during Jack straw during the jam when Jerry fires off a set of notes in a quick flurry and I always wonder what it is exactly. Is he doing legato when he does that? I’m sure you know the part I’m thinking of.what I mean is, I’m sure you know the point in the jam that I’m talking about. Maybe you know how to do it.
Its impossible to play like Jerry. His style evolved throughout 2000 shows, you can't recreate that live music improvising and not just playing in the key either. He himself said you can take time to learn about the theory but all scales just melt together.
I think the sole purpose of playing guitar these days is to sound exactly like Jerry. Just kidding! Well said, and I couldn't agree more. I should really make more clear in my videos that Jerry himself would want you to sound like you. But... there is a great deal to learn from his playing and it doesn't hurt to apply some 'tactics' as I call them, to our own playing as long as we don't lose our own voice.
Dig the drummer section, the other one is so driven by percussion, that was a great addition.
dicks picks 4 the other one I listen to on a loop. Thanks for digging into this
I'm a big fan of mixing b melodic minor and f melodic minor here, and those notes lend to some nice diminish/half dim runs too.

That's awesome! Italy is such a cool place.
The make-up looks great, bro. Hairband Zappa teaches Grateful Dead. Subbed!

Thank you for the video Jeff, you da man. You should make one like this on Jerry’s parts for Dancin in the Streets
That's a great idea. I feel like I gotta redo the track on that one first. I used to listen to the version on Fallout from the Phil Zone on repeat.

@@jordanrobinson8030 Oh yeah, the Cornell version is sooo different from the one on the Phil Zone. Can't remember the date of that one but it's early.
Gracias!!!! 😁😁

Awesome work! Thanks for these! How long have you been playing?
Thanks Chris and of course no prob. I've been playing guitar for about 18 years but played bass for around 7 before that.
I’m gonna try making this work on Saxophone… all the guitar players I know are Rhythm Players.
