    READ THIS! READ THIS! Ok so two things. First, I have no idea what I was thinking when I filmed this. The second F# is actually played as a MAJOR chord, not a minor. Which is how I usually play it, but for some UA-cam reason, my brain shut off and I said and played minor. How does this affect your soloing? Well in one world it doesn't. Putting the F#m arpeggios and pentatonic over the Major is perfectly fine and Jerry does it ALL the time. On the other hand, you can also add the F#Major arpeggios to the riff if you like and it will add a great flavor. My bad on this.. I beg for your mercy. Secondly, there is a discrepancy of whether or not it is an A Played after that F# or an E. Now, all of the research I did, I did see this come into play, but I looked at Jerry's soloing and saw more A chord tones than E so, I went with the A. I am human and could be totally wrong. If I am, no worries at all, all of the soloing techniques in this video will work, you just want to put in E arpeggios and pentatonics at that moment and you are all good. It's a doozy of a song, and it got me good. Hope you all still enjoy the video and the concepts. Rock on, Stich

      You are awesome! I studied this solo a lot... I am pretty sure that I came to the conclusion that the song chord is an A after the F#... but because E is the 5th... sometimes Phil would hit E. I watched all the videos that I could find to watch their hands. I think it's A but it could be an A over E too. It makes me mental how complicated the song is!

    Ian, this is fantastic. Like so many of your videos, you are providing a lesson that is truly practical because you are explaining the WHY, and not just the HOW.
    I already experienced two major “aha!” moments on watching the video once. But they’re probably not where you’d expect.
    The first is when I realized that “Deal” is the name of a SONG. (OK I’m the first to admit that I’m not a huge Grateful Dead fan and thus not very familiar with their music.) 😊
    The second is when you described the key change from A to D in the last line of the chord progression, when you noted that D major has the same notes as A Mixolydian. I already knew that, but it suddenly struck me that this knowledge is very powerful for song COMPOSITION. The G major chord is not simply a “borrowed chord” and the switch to the key of D is significant because D is the previous key (from A) in the circle of fifths. That means (according to the relationships of subsequent keys in the circle of fifths) that the difference when moving from the key of D to the key of A is to raise the G (the 7th) to G#. Which means that to go from A to D (ie, A Mixolydian), you LOWER the 7th - take the G# and make it a G. I already knew that the difference between Ionian and Mixolydian is a flatted 7th, but this illustrated that what you’re actually doing is moving the “parent major key” back one step in the circle of fifths. Understanding how the modes relate to the circle of fifths is a very practical tool for composing songs of greater complexity. In other words, there’s a good reason why key changes work in songs.

    I've always loved your lessons and have been following them for years. However, I've always taken dispersed ideas and snippets, and never followed anything systematically. This time, I'm going to do it. No matter how long it takes. I have the feeling that by doing this step-by-step (starting with really learning each chord arpeggio and pentatonic in that position) will unlock a lot of Jerry's playing beyond Deal. THANKS!

    Man your videos are so awesome, I also love how you really gently encourage the viewers to get a grip on their theory and remind them that Jerry had a very thorough understanding of theory, the fretboard, chord tones etc. Ever since I heard the Deal off 2/5/78 (Dicks Picks vol 18) I've been on a quest to be able to play like that. Been working my way up slowly to Deal and am finally starting to kind of crack in on it. This video helped me heaps to hone in on the chord tones via the arpeggios and is getting me closer to the point where I can just rip over this without having to think to hard about that damn F note and diminished run.

    This is better than any guitar teacher I've ever had.
    This lesson is just beyond my ability, and exactly the kind of challenge I'm after. I can play in key, and move with slower chord progressions hitting chord tones - but this one is a bit faster and moves a lot more.
    I hope to see more videos like this in future - they keep me become a better player. Thanks Stich, and have a great day!

    Ok, Ive been following you hered and on Patreon for maybe a year and I'm always impressed but this THIS lesson you really showed your depth of knowledge and skill. The solo I just watched you do where you mixed pent, chord tones and chromatic notes for every chord change at that tempo. I mean I just can't believe what I just watched. I don't see how I can get to this level but I'm going to try to do these lessons and get something out of this.

      Update: haha I just read your comments about the E or A thing… from this lesson I’ve gone back and listened to versions from ‘71 to ‘95 and sometimes maybe E but mostly to A… and I always learn from hearing the evolution of a specific song, and how his soloing continually improved, that’s why he’s the man!

      You know I’ve seen both versions and it seemed that when I looked at Jerry’s solos they seemed to have more A chord tones in it so I decided on that. But, if you hear the E, go for it and use E chord tones in the solo…. I figured I would get this comment and honestly. There is a lot of discrepancy on this one chord. But in the end… it won’t effect the soloing👍
