Hey thanks for making this I'd been searching for something more definitive on Bob's part, especially with the intro, and this helped me out a lot. You should try making a the chord forms available in tab because you go through it kind of fast, but nevertheless this was great.

@Gottschalk124

I guess I can do that. I had trouble staying "on point" in this video because the chord forms are SO vital to getting weirs thing happening, but by just talking about chord forms it becomes a general item rather than a specific terrapin thing.

Trying to think where I can post those if I make them, because you are right they need to be there.

What are you using to get your bobby tone? Guitar/Pickups, effects, amps?

[jeffm725]

@heysler18 for this video it is just a homemade strat staight into a deluxe reverb. My stage setup is a little more convoluted, which would either be the deluxe or a 68 twin or mesa boogie mark2a depending on room size. With a couple late 1970'2 Ibanez rack effects units (UE400,405 and AD202) plus a couple floor stomps.

A lot of different ways to get bobbys sound. I find it to be more of a style approach than a specific piece of gear.

Good gear discussion about these rigs at rukind.com

Jeff, did you record this w/ one of those cans we used to use?

[drapesmatchrug]

i have a question... what does bobby use to achieve the rhythm for shakedown street? i cant find anything anywhere

thanks

[shaconage]

Thanks so much for this.  It would be so helpful if you put up the additional videos you mention in this video when you have the time. Weir is such an extraordinary guitarist and it would honor his contributions if more people with insight and skills, like you, shared his unique approach as much as possible. Bravo!

Hey great job! I am a Jerry guy and sent my rhythm guitarist to this video to learn this. I have a request: Since, as you said, everyone does the Jerry side of things, can you dissect more Bobby parts for your adoring public?

[mortoro]

Very nice the way you broke everything down..great continuity thruout.you made it very easy to understand a key aspect of his signature style.i'd love to see more on weir from you.like you said ,very little instruction on weir out there.

@jeffm725 you could put them in the info as sideways tab

ex: F5 is X-X-10-10-13-X
