    I was reviewing this video with my notes from when it was first posted, and I realized why (IMO) Davvy's lessons are so cherished in the community. They are the perfect balance of simplification and challenge. Let's face it, if you can bang out Lick #1 & Lick #2 in proper time without interrupting the flow of this song... you are probably at least a decent, functional intermediate (unless this is all your practice for 3 weeks). However, even a progressing beginner can get the FM's and a walkdown or two with a little practice. I think for the most part, Davvy is showing us "how he plays it," at least in general terms, and that makes it a very rewarding experience. If you can walk away from even one of these lessons thinking "I can't believe I am playing this at this level", it makes you feel like maybe someday we can get somewhere close to the level of Davvy's playing. For me, that is all the hope and motivation I need to keep playing.. Davvy deserves a sincere thank you from all of us for these treasures....

    In 1990 I went to Indiana to Deer Creek to see the Dead and 10 minutes before they came on for the second set, a dude next to em yelled out "Help Slip Frank" and sure as heck that is what they did. How he knew, I do not know.

    I’ve always thought of the song as a three verse song with no chorus. Kinda an AABA thing. This is good stuff. I transcribed this years ago and then did Bob’s parts a few years back. I’ve been trying to convince a band or another guitarist (for an acoustic duo version) to learn it ever since. My Jerry part is played pretty differently, but I’m positive yours is more accurate now that I’ve been able to see video of Jerry playing it. I only saw him play it twice live (my first show in ‘83 and my last show ‘95). I’ve got a recording of me playing both parts (no video) on UA-cam I think. You may have finally inspired me to play it more accurately. 😂

    alright, come across one issue, its the Dm called out during the verses in Lick 3. playing that chord alongside live versions, I think its actually a Dm7b5. This provides that slight "jazzy" sound that the band has when landing on that chord.

    Dude this is the strangest thing. Well maybe not the strangest, but pretty synchronicitous. Just started working on this one two days ago, which doesn’t seem that weird in and of itself, but it’s the first song of its caliber that I’ve ever attempted, and it’s the warmups and chromatic runs from the Golden Road that inspired me to try. I’m making it too. Thanks for the help. Assalamu Alaikum, brother.
