[tjkleinschmidt]

how did you get a guitar like that

[jerryskid84]

tight stuff, makes me feel like if I work at I may be able to actually play some decent dead.....

[zdflip3]

its a custom made alembic or replica based on jerrys model.Fuckin pricey dude

[thebigkster1210]

is that a bc rich custom?

[atothek3466]

thanks for the vid.  well done.

[FogLight2]

sweet guitar

[tenorbass]

Good stuff man. Thanks for adding some theory into. your solo kinda got off the beat but like you said its a tricky one. Nice work for sure!

[BrockCole1967]

hey i would appreciate it if ud let me know where to find this guitar.... i look everywhere.. btu no sign.. thanks

[izzygizzy2]

he had that guitar custom made. he has videos of it. watch them.

[hobjef1]

well done fella! Eyes greatest jam!

[CTiger1207]

for the intro, are you playing the same as what's on the tab on your site?

[doglizarddog]

love it man. Showed me things in there i haven't heard till now. Nice touch at the end with 8-6-74 Roosevelt Stadiam Eyes. One of my favorite versions

[jordanbriggs468]

wowowowowo I love that guitar and ur tone

[KristopherApa]

You should get one of those loop pedals so you can give your jerry licks some chords in the background

[capwillk]

Jdarks, your awesome, but i think you need some back up

[bmazz77]

good stuff man. I WANT YOUR GUITAR

[doglizarddog]

Hey man, i've been watchin' ur vids for a couple of monthes and i gotta say you're just dead on with this shit. Your tone abosolutly blows me away in this one. Very Jerry like. You've helped me figure out so much that tabs couldn't and i really appreciate what you do here man. Keep doin what your doin

[adamdeckard]

WHERE DID YOU GET A TIGER?

[rossington14]

awesome. one of my top grateful dead songs.

5*

[mrmojoroo]

you crack me up. you got me with the tuning bit. very funny. you should have seen my face turn long when you say " ok now let's tune up" nooooooooooooo!

[criticbo]

jdarks you are awesome! keep it coming

[sneakypower]

You're such a modest dude and a great player.  I think you are doing a wonderful thing. Viva JDarks!

[ssharper420]

What kind of guitar is Darks playing? It's not

a Doug Irwin guitar is it? Or is it from Alimbic

Guitar Shop where Irwin built Jers guitars?

[setboy1]

look at all of darks videos. He has a two part video where he talks about here he got it.

[leshtricity]

Holy shit this is superb. Excellent stuff, JDarks!

[Daruma42]

Fantastic, you've got some really great Jerry-style licks. And that guitar is absolutely gorgeous, I love the 'Cats' inlay.

[BamKazam]

keep on truckin

[yopdop1]

MAN I HOPE I CAN PLAY LIKE U WHEN IM OLDER IM 13 AND I STARTED A YEAR AGO THE FACT IS I HAVENT PALYED ANYDEAD :( ur videos will realy help me thanks alot man your awsome

[Brockp2005]

Wicked pissa

[Candyman68]

Great work!

If there's somekind of a wishlist I would put up a MITR-solo (with tabs to go). If not i'll continue to enjoy your videos the way tey come.

[bobdwilliams]

I was just about to back out of this......wow I'm glad I hung in.

Nice picking, man!

Wait a sec.....Is that a photo of Nick Danger hanging on the wall?

[jkstraw]

Awesome vid jdark! Very inspiring and informational! You're sounding great!

[pbl1]

bless your soul for posting this.

silly question -- rhythm on intro jam is essentially emaj7--A--emaj7. rhythm on jams between verses 1-2, and 2-3, seem to be emaj7-a-emaj7 (2x) bm-a. is it a different key when you are jamming on the "bm-a" part as opposed to the emaj-a-emaj7 section?

[taylor410ce]

You should post a video of you and your band playing this.

[PaulFranco7574]

Bob Weir

[JoeMarklin]

Please someone answer this! What Eyes is that he plays at the end - what date?!

[kellymc35]

Joe,

I can make a good guess. Sometime in 78'. Even though Jerry does'nt sing on the short jam, it sounds like a really heavy 70's eyes.

[JoeMarklin]

Thanks, yeah - I have the DP's volume 11 - and it's from that era and has the best "Eyes", but the one he plays in this vid seems tighter and more heavy.

[JDarks]

You guys should read each others comments ;)

See SmelOdies, above. DP31

[kellymc35]

Joe, Darks was right. Some intelligent soul already noted the date. I listened to this 74' Roosevelt stadium show again. Good stuff.

[JoeMarklin]

Thanks

[JoeMarklin]

You are the best Darks - a true inspiration.

[lespaul56]

Do you have a looper pedal? I think you would really dig one. You're a talented cat! I really enjoy mine (it's a Boss). You could do amazing things with one.

Take care,

--Jason

[akv3]

darks, i've been a fan for a long time and I can't thank you enough for this vid. I've wanted to work on Eyes for a long time and because of your post, I spent the afternoon dissecting major scales instead of studying heart physiology. I learned more today than I had in many moons previously and I only have you to thank. Your videos are terrific, I really appreciate all your effort. Thanks man.

[walkerhjones]

J Darks, many thanks, lots of great ideas, like you THE MAN is keeping guitar out of my hands, but your vids keep me thinking and playing when the time works right. Thanks.

FYI, i loved the "First we're going to tune up" comedy ditty. hilarious

[HelsinkiHellraiser44]

dead solos are easy every not is picked

but genius

[freededude]

You make me soo happy ^^

[robbieman23]

I have been looking on You Tube most evenings for any new Darks Dead Vids and tonight...wow....back to top form with this super piece of work, the tab is excellent, I like the way you have meshed together the various licks....thanks so much for your work on one of the Deads best tunes ...

[Alfrunk]

But...you are the man!

[taylor410ce]

You are the only one who knows all the Bob parts like that.

[caspersvapors]

yessss! jdarks always pulls through! thank you!

[belessblind]

booyah

[shaconage]

J DARKSTAR! There is no lazy gate in this one, but you sure have helped me find a winter's summer home.... What a warm, glowing gift during this cold winter. This sunrise, like so many the past year, I have awakened and discovered that you, J Darks, are the song that the morning brings... and I am deeply grateful.

[guildd55]

THANKS AGAIN

[guild618]

[jkilcull]
