[tramplifier1]

Very nicely done. Thanks.

[FKNA1]

sweet americana blue grass licks; gotta love 'em!

[nozzle28]

Great video. You made me smile and I played this song for an hour. I've always loved the Dead, but playing it makes me appriciate Bob's phrasing. Thanks so much, and keep posting!

[ruk777]

awesome! Can you please play both of those licks at the same time? Hahah. Seriously though, maybe get a Boss loop pedal or EH 16 second delay. Also, is that what Bobby plays on the LP? I know a different line he did. Anyways, knowing them it was was played differently every time. Thanks!

peaze

[havenmusic42]

[drex48239]

amazing guitar

[scurry1965]

excellent vid and sound is quality

[Ntara11]

wow this guitar sounds terrible and definitely not "Sweet". get a tuner as well

[mavman16]

amazing vid my friend

[mavman16]

wonderful amazing!

[berrypossum]

I like this guy- the thing is that Bob uses piano phrasing on all his "rhythm" playing...

kinda tough on the hands. Listen to Hard to Handle BobRules... nice vid dude

[funnydude666]

i agree man. grateful dead rule. i hate it when people call it "stoner music" it really bugs me,but what can ya do.anyways,nice video man

[saddamdontsurf]

good job jd.thanks for a very cool lesson. i have no comment on the axe arguing, i dont get it .

[KO5787]

there is a big difference between instruments where everything is done by hand, (from seeming the wood up, to carveing your neck) and factory made instruments...... but thank you broseph1043 for making everyone who read this comment a dumber person

[nathann2444]

who made that guitar

[KO5787]

my teacher from phoenix a.z made that guitar his name is john reuter it is a jerry caster, he builds them by hand, jerry garcia himself wanted him to build them

[JDarks]

The guitar was built by Resurrection Guitars in Florida.

[dylanfan321]

I went to your site (very nice by the way) and i wanted to find a link to Ressurection guitars, but website expired or something, do you have an updated version?

[Broseph1043]

ur a dumbass...all guitars are built by hand

[KO5787]

no u fucking idiot, get your shit right before you post your stupid mindless comments on youtube, all your top brands fender, gibson, prs, every one of them uses CNC equipment in one way or another , after the process of building them (putting a piece of wood in one end and it shits it out THE OTHER), it may go to a custom shop, or assembly department where they polish it up set it up, and play it for one second, then send it off to be sold.

[KO5787]

and i highly doubt you know more about playing, building, or fretted instrument repair, i went to school for what i do, and build acoustics, and electrics by hand, for a living, you are just one of those people that think they know something, but probably couldnt even set a guitar up to play right, let alone build by hand, or do any extensive repair. but i am glad you have a job at a factory sanding the same piece of wood all day, two thumbs up for you!!!!!,

[mavman16]

well the good gibsons are hand made

[KO5787]

no, thats not true, gibson has prolly over a couple million in cnc equipment, what makes you think they would build a guitar or anything else by hand.

[mavman16]

the robots

[MockStoneLLC]

have u seen any guitar shows/videos? they show that they are hand made! the bodies arent crafted handmande but the rest is!

[KO5787]

well if you knew that then what are you talking about, all guitars are built by hand

[dshmed]

helpful vid thanks.. i have a cover of this song up but was wonderin how to make it more interesting..real cool how you do bob's licks... and wow i thought trilling g to g# was the coolest thing ever when i first tried it

[Mastas999]

man my buddies jammed this today in study hall it was beautiful this song is so much fun 2 jam 2 i was pissed i didnt bring my guitar

[daReaLJermo]

thanks brotha ... I play a little different but still have tha same concept. Thanks for the other guitar part. will try

thanks

jermo

[theperson37]

You're so cool, man. I'm subscribing to you now.

[KYEONGTI]

cool guitar dude!!!

[cab22222]

Yeah, no kidding. I really dig wood grain finnish on electrics. I wonder what brand it is.

[mlui82]

it is most likely a customer guitar he made or had made. its the same shape and style as jerry's..

[phire07]

he is jerry >>

[actont]

only prob is you are playing it wrong to start off with!

[sixxkid1234]

@phire07 haha ill bet he is!

grow your hair out!

[slowmofo357]

Uhm not sure if anyone has asked this and if not this should help out some people who may have the same question... What effects are you using on this??? This would be greatly appreciated...

[Zepster77]

There was a guy in Jensen Beach Florida (or in that general area) who was making these "Jerry" guitars a few years ago... maybe he still is. They were highly in demand as one can imagine.

[theweasles27]

where did u buy that guitar and how much it was

[Coventrey]

Man I wish I could meet/hang out with this guy. Thanks for the mini lesson man!! Fricken sweet.

[aiko1968]

dual humbuckers and a single coil, standard setup on that SG! Only ting missing is Jerry's tiger rose on the plaque behind the bridge. I like the Cats down under.... he has though!

[alexander924]

got enough pick ups lol

[rydawg1977]

hey darks you got it brother. I have been playing guitar since 1994,man you have shown me alot in the last three years, thank you

[justicefx]

Thanks for the great lesson... I Love the Dead!!! Hey dude I just bought that book too! It's killer. Go Bobby!!

[dickyboyblue]

Great guitar work! Man, The Dead will live on forever! I just learned of a new book about the dead - "One Hundred Things I'll Miss About Grateful Dead Land" by Christine Dunne. I bought it on Amazon.  There's some unpublished photos of Bobby in it!

[Submariner75]

I love it, you really bring out Bob's greatness as a guitarist. His work is always so unfairly underrated next to Jerry's.

[tansburyjerry]

howd you get a copy of his guitar ive been lookin one for forever and a half please respond

[boborobo3]

That was a grate job

[fawsta]

beautiful guitar man

[qoby750]

KILLER GUITAR...

[shaowbleak]

where did u get that guitar friend

[jazzgtrl4]

Great playing. You look like actor Dennis Farina

[llamov]

Thanks so much for your Dead tutorials. I'm getting back into playing for the first time in years and you've helped me remember stuff I first learned almost 40 years ago!

[peavrick439]

are u serious, that guitar is ill, its just like the one jerry played

[filiphopo]

Ugliest guitar in the whole wide world

[whogottaflat]

copy of Jerry's axe!!! it may be ugly, but built by a fan and used by Jerry....makes it a little more pretty to me!!!!!!!!!

[mtnbikrrrr]

nice work! love it. thanks for breaking that down. one of the things i liked to do is put on a DVD of the dead here in my studio and play along w/them through the mixer. sure takes me back to all those i so enjoyed. cheers.

[123octopus]

I wonder less drunk I need to be to fully absorb this lesson. $%&'hippies, give it to me straight, seeindouble style.

[Samandcaiti]

Very Nice. What kind of guitar is that?

[seatoshiningsea]

FOTD 4.15.78 William and Mary...none better

[JackKerouac1922]

compliments!You play guitar very good!Hey anyone else knows the slow version of friend of devil?It's just amazing

[wertter905]

[sk8enhen90]

hey you're pretty darn good. super informative video, i'll definitely learn the lick and bust it out next time my friend starts playing friend of the devil. the girls love it when he plays that song, and soon i will steal his spotlight. muahaha!

[freededude]

Very Helpfull!! very deep!! ;)

[vilpin203]

[unseenbadass]

its great man

[dp11issosweet]

[losparanoias91331]

[joebroomhead]
