[verbenco]

as i looked further down the page i see i made similar comments a couple of months ago, i am sorry for my redundancy.

[RikFilms]

Did you start playing Johnny B. Goode at the end?

Lol.

[Mookmaster01]

[Alfrunk]

How so?

[caseyjones67]

i wanna see u naked

[gryffindor863]

hahahahahah

[guitarman0478]

anyone know what key this is in to solo over. i'm guessing its in A but i'm not sure.

[freebird12345]

its not in A its in D .. your supposed to jam in D .. also in fire on the mountain the chords are B and A but for some reason you jam in the key of E

[verbenco]

i forget the chords to fire on the mountain but it in fact they are A and B the jam would be in E because A is the subdominent of E and B is the dominent. think about a 12 bar blues progrression which would be E - A and B. actually the jam could be a C# minor pentatonic which is the relative minor of E. (same key signiture)

but i think jerry sometimes changed scales with each chord change.

[verbenco]

for fire -- when the chords are A and B the key is usually E because A is the 4 chord and B is the 5 so the blues (or rock ) progression would be E- A - B so E or C#minor is the key. ( 4 sharps)

Franklin's tower can be looked at a number of ways, if one relates to the A chord as the tonic and D as the subdominent one could jam in A or F# minor bit i suppose some believe it to be in D so a standard minor pentatonic jam would be B minor.

who knows how jerry related to this stuff.? not me

[verbenco]

I always thought the chord changes were A to D putting the song firmly in A or F#minor. But I heard of those who inject a G chord. if this is so the song belongs in D.

I have always treated the song as if it were in A, but since F#minor and B minor are pretty close why not change with the chord..

[goatmark]

I put your Bertha on favorites, what you drunk today?

[unseenbadass]

[mmarconi]

Anybody know where to find the Franklins tab? Can't find it on Dark's Site.

[mmarconi]

Righteous! You're the man, JD!

[SmelOdies]

Could you explain how to play the '73 and '74 outro minor jam in the "Eyes"? Also the '73 and '74 "China">"Riders had that luscious bridge...

[caspersvapors]

that bridge is basically Uncle Johns Band yo

[mleccese]

sounds like someone needs to study up on music a bit.

[caspersvapors]

you talking to me? elaborate

[mleccese]

totally different chord patterns, melody lines and beats going on with these two pieces

[caspersvapors]

so youre saying the jam (bridge) unique to 73-74 China>Riders is completely different than UJB? get an ear brozef, its the exact same chord pattern in D

[frigginurge]

Dude, were you even born then? The China Rider Jam is one chord and that is a D chord. What pattern are you referring to? Uncle John's band is a four chord jam. Listen up, youngun', and ye shall learn ye somethin'!

[caspersvapors]

nm dude, no I wasnt born then, but that doesnt mean sh*t I still know exactly the jam Smelodies is referring to. I have yet to hear a 73-74 China/Rider that doesnt have that jam. For example, if you go on the archive and were to listen to the China-Cat from 11/14/73, the UJB jam starts at 6:50

[caspersvapors]

so what happened to all the condescending replies from you 2?

[frigginurge]

So , get out the wet noodle. I can take it. I'll put my ass on the wall for you. I'm not all evil. Funny thing is I actually own a copy of the jam you refer to. The second dvd of The Dead Movie has that jam. Sorry for the delay in response. Stuck away from computers for extended periods. But, I must inform you, there is only one chump. I forgot my first login name, which is the first one you responded to. OK can I take my ass off the wall now?

[caspersvapors]

alright your sins have been forgiven lol

[frigginurge]

Let's roll a fatty and have a laugh. Peace.

[rompemonster]

the only happy comment i've seen in a long time here on this clip. listen and roll a fatty!!!!

[caspersvapors]

go on the archive and listen to pretty much any 73-74 China Rider and they have a UJB jam in them, heres another example for you 2 chumps that is EVEN MORE OBVIOUS than the 73 one I posted before: 2/24/74, go to the archive, stream it, track 8 @ 1:50
