Brown Eyed Women (Grateful Dead) Austin Gray

[sorrytryagain1]

Great job man! You should enter this in the Dead Covers Project at Dead.net before the end of the month. Seriously. I play this too, but I haven't quite polished it yet. I learned it with all bar chords though. It's a fun song to play and you do a great job with it!

[turnershow]

This one of my favorite Dead songs and I thought you did a great job with this tune. Do you remember what the opening chord progression is?

[NJL4LIFE]

Great cover

[higherlearning6]

great job dude!

[MrCraigary123]

@Augerton try a slowed down friend of the devil like the dead did live

[Augerton]

@MrCraigary123 hrm interesting i might do that, debating a jack straw, throwing stones, touch of grey maybe even a let it rock but i'll take that friend of the devil into consideration too

[TheIvoryRestaurant]

@Augerton do Jack Straw and Throwing Stones! 2 amazing songs.

[MrCraigary123]

35 stars awesome do more dead

[Augerton]

@MrCraigary123 hell yeah! i'm about to get an acoustic guitar where i'm at and there's a webcam here so i'm gonna post a video hopefully in the next few days, any suggestions? it has been a few years, i'm excited

[krewkid222]

nice cover man

[xlondonlove14x]

i love this. you did a great job :)

[jamjax]

Pretty good. Good voice. Nice attack. But hold that A chord a wee bit longer..

[Augerton]

@jamjax hey it's the truth, i play it a little better now

[redwhitebluesy]

Awesome bro! keep it up. You play any gigs?

[Augerton]

@redwhitebluesy yeah i play in a band called the good doctor now, we just put a 5 song disc out, we're only on myspace right now but check us out, thanks for commenting

[philipwalter87]

Great job dude... love this song

[theshameband]

Holy Christ! LOVE this version! The original is just plain amazing but you added a special touch to it. Honestly, you play Brown-Eyed Women like I would play a cover tune like this. The only bad part about it is that I have a dirt load of work to do and my guitar is 2 ft from me.... I ain't gettin' any work done tonight, now.

[Augerton]

@theshameband haha funny how the guitar can get in the way of your work... guess that's why i quit my job !

[briankofke]

Good job.

[rollerblaker]

this is the best cover i've heard on youtube

[Cucdaddy]

Awesome cover man. Love your version. What 2 chords are you playing before the C#m at the beginning of each verse ? I've been working on this tune myself.

[shaps80]

Dong = song. Sorry for the mistype.

[shaps80]

Very cool. Love this dong.

[dsmith7854]

this is incredible

[RonnieRose428]

Wow- your so cute. call me..

[rocklover500]

Excellent! Another fine Hunter/Garcia cover and the mysterious cutie still in the background with a foot shot taboot. Good job man. You are officially that guy that pulls chicks with his guitar and good looks. at the park or the beach. When I grow up I want to be you.

[colterillich21]

unbelievable. I would pay you money to sit around my house playing these Dead covers all day.

[jheanue103190]

im in love

[TheDicktationable]

love you

[painlessparker]

What is the mic you are using there and what is it going into ?

[taylorhunnicutt44]

man, this just made my day!! that was stellar and i concour, you definantly do the song justice!

[MrJackstraw1]

Such critic's post on ere, who the hell cares if e dont play it jus like jerry did? e doin his thang, the way he like and obviously wants to do it! make him happy doin it his way not jerrys. I say chill out guitar chord nazi's

[MrJackstraw1]

Dude are you wearing any pants!???!!!

thats fuckin right on brotha!

[eyesthatsmile1]

I'll rate you a 10. By the way, I saw you playing in your Deep River Band. I'm your neighbor from Chester. Great job on the song and nice voice. Saw the chords you played in this song in your reply. What are the chords you're playing from the F# to the C#m (sliding) and the chords from the A to the C#m though? It's hard to tell by watching you.

[neomisterp]

Good playing as always (like back in the day). Come visit your #EO buddies sometime =0)

[keyword45]

you sing it well, thanks for sharing

[Zepster77]

The F# should be an F#m, try it... you'll like it.

[TheGoosen]

you do this song justice, sounds real good man...wat are the chords

[Augerton]

thanks man,

verse: C#m E B A, C#m E A E

chorus: B B A E B, A E C#m, F# A E

bridge: Bm A E x 3, C#m B A Abm F# A E

listen to the song for the phrasing

[SourCider]

@Augerton sick dude... at the end of your verses you switch to the E too fast from the A

sorry had to say it. hold the A longer

[auroraeuphoria]

i have green eyes

but i love you already.

[jerzydawg333]

good job ... fun song to play

[Augerton]

haha well i appreciate the honesty, gonna try to get some updated videos, i have been practicing

[iliveforwinter]

great cover, i wouldn't think a voice like yours would work with this song, but you've shown me wrong.

[slurppypurr]

love bro thank you, I'm going to copy in my own metropolitan area if that's OK

[linfinster]

Loved it!! Thanks.

[jkstraw]

Great job man! That was great!

[FlooredByMusic]

Said the McFly fan.............

[zayante93]

impressed. most of these fools don't understand the epic-ness of the grateful dead. john mayer has nothing on this.

<3

[FlooredByMusic]

Requests Mr. Gray?

How about raisng the bar a little (LOL) with KOL's "Use Somebody"? I'm sure you can match Caleb! And I'm sure it would work with DRBB too.

Yeah, keep 'em coming!

PS I like the studio!

[JerryBerry220]

Very nice bro keep the videos comin

[oilyd]

Nice man... I used to talk to you on aim like 5 years ago about music haha. You probably dont remeber. Josh from NY.

[Umatter2]

Enjoyed listening and watching... esp. the feet in the background. ;)

[sportsduderockerman]

[SugarMagnolia569aol]

im impressed.

[dunk7823]

Good stuff. Good as well for knowing the lyrics. Even though I already know them.

[TripNDazy]

Grate Job brother!!!

ever try any Jeff Buckley tunes??

[Augerton]

hey thanks man, jeff buckley is a great artist and incredible singer, and he also masters a large range with his voice, some of his tunes can be physically challenging to sing ! but yeah i've been messing around with one or two, maybe i'll do a recording of one eventually..

[novacaine4souls]

Oh yeah, and Year of the Cat by Al Stewart.

Good cover.

[novacaine4souls]

Seriously, I would love to hear you cover Norwegian Wood or In My Life by the Beatles, or any Beach Boys, or 'Poor Side of Town' by Johnny Rivers. It would sound so great!

[Augerton]

ok, i need to get a video recorder in my apartment

[schoepsman]

get signed dude, great voice, thanks for sharing

[Augerton]

hey what's up i dunno if i'd like to 'get signed' per se, what i'm really looking to do is get some nice recordings from a nice studio hopefully pretty soon, we'll see how that happens

[idkidk002]
