That means the world. Thanks, fam!
I'm honestly content with davvy being my only friend.
Thanks for the awesome vid! The song is in B Mixolydian (key of E major). B Major Pentatonic and B Mixo sound great, use your flat 7 and use the chord tones. Awesome song! B minor pentatonic too for the blues feel.
Channel is actually so cool the whole vibe plus dead lessons. This is good stuff
Thanks Davvy totally not one sided brah. Love from Minnesota man thanks for making my acoustic guiteer more than a decorative feature of my living room. Come by anytime for a joint and a jam!
came for the dead. stayed for the dead. great teaching style and simple explanations. looking forward to other videos, I will even check out your channel due to the positive impression your vids give. thanks for the great content.
Great vibe man. I especially like how you play with your own style and interpretation. Your lessons have been a nice find in this bizzaro world we are currently living in so thank you. Be well.

Thanks so much!
This is my new favorite channel on the internet
WTF absolutely love this channel, Davy makes it look so simple and I really like how he has his own personality. Great video
Lord you make learning so much fun. Bless you.
I'm 76yrs old and still Plat dead but your instruction has helped me put the little things that I was totally missing...thanks Davvvy
Great lesson Davy and you crack me up every time I watch one of your videos. It is fun to see someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously but who is a great musician with his own twist.
I had fun! Love these tutorials, really helps fill in the gaps of what can't be shown on rukind. Keep it up man, you rule for this
You sir, are easily the greatest teacher of the Dead on KZread. Your style of teaching spontaneous and spot on. Great job brother.
No instructors like you Davvy.Thank You so much and greetings from Croatia
Love your channel. My guitar playing has advanced more in the year I've been watching your tutorials of Dead tunes than in the 15 prior years.
I am a super beginner with guitar and my first goal is to learn sugaree. I think I am in the right place here :-)
Love what you do here, you saved me a bunch of time and energy. I'm going to perform this in 2 days. Thanks!
Hey Davvy! My name is DaveE. I just found your channel and I can't thank you enough for what your doing man! My guitar playing has been dead for awhile now. No pun intended. Picking it up and playing the same old shit. Your lessons are straightforward and easy to understand...and frickin hilarious. Looking forward to every one of them and becoming a better player
I had fun and I'm definitely coming back! This channel is going to blow up one day.
Your videos are fun and break down the songs well. I like the content and subscribed. Thank you!
new guitar player who has never been much of a Dead fan, but the algorithm sent me to this song and I'm diggin' it
Thanks man, greetings of a Deadhead from the Netherlands.
Great lesson and easy to follow. All the KZread lessons should be this good. You also obviously know the tune, can play guitar and really lay it out well. The dead sound is captured perfectly.

Thanks, Max! That’s very high praise!
thanks!! you made me smile when i heard my favorite song come together
Thanks Dave.......The most fun lessons !! You keep me more entertained than the actual songs your teaching! Plus you really know your shit !!
Such a beautiful human ,thanks for sharing yourself with the world, and a great teacher to boot
That was great, definitely got me to subscribe. I look forward to your future videos and will share them - my one request would be if you could end or begin lessons with a complete playthrough of the song! Really helps me when I'm learning to try and play along with that after I've have gotten the pieces down.

This was really good. Between this and watching Mayer practicing d&c tunes, this song is getting playable. ;-) Teach us Liberty please.
Simple down to earth music. Good Stuff!!
You're #1 Davy! You're doing the lord's work.
The bass player in my band is a dead head, and he wanted to play this number. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Great song. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Not being a huge Dead fan…….yet. I rehearsed this with my band this afternoon and failed. Now I know what to do. Thank you.
Damn man, that little bluesy lead you tore off into was siiiiick! However, I have no clue how you did it, haha!

Outstanding!!!

Thanks, man! And yes! Both of those tunes are planned for the nearish future.
I don't think Hunter said the song was about a stripper. He said it was about a criminal, that someone else that is a criminal is associated with. The criminal was perhaps a pimp, not a stripper. Hunter said "The song, as I imagined it, is addressed to a pimp". The wagon is the paddy wagon. Maybe I meet you on the run, is on the run from the law. Don't tell them (the law) that you know me, is don't be a snitch. Robert Hunter himself revealed the meaning of “Sugaree” in the liner notes for the All Good Things box set released in 2004. Hunter said the phrase ‘just don’t tell them that you know me’ was prompted by something said by an associate in his pre-Dead days when his destitute circumstances found him fraternizing with a gang of criminals. The line "When they come to take you down, When they bring that wagon ’round, When they come to call on you, And drag your poor body down" Is referring to when they come to arrest you and take you away. "Shake it, shake it, Sugaree" is referring to shaking the charges. The line "You thought you was the cool fool, And never could do no wrong, You had everything sewed up tight, How come you lay awake all night long?, refers to the criminal being brazen and never thinking they would get caught. This verse " Well, in spite of all you gained, You still had to stand out in the pouring rain, One last voice is calling you, And I guess it’s time you go" Is showing the life of crime in the end is not prosperous, and in the end it is time to go to jail. Next line: Well shake it up now, Sugaree, I’ll meet you at the Jubilee, If that Jubilee don’t come, Maybe I’ll meet you on the run. It is a farewell to this friend, telling them that they will meet again when or if they are released from prison, or when the charges are dropped (shaken) and they get off. The use of “Jubilee” is a reference to the Old Testament - a time when slaves and prisoners are freed, and debts are forgiven. (Hunter often used biblical references). And if they never have the moment of Jubilee, they may meet somewhere down the line, when one or the other is on the run from the law.
From Italy sir, cheers! Great stuff!

I'm starting to - and thank you!
This song is in 12/8. I've found it super helpful to set a metronome at 74 bpm in 12/8 to get the feel for it.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for a great lesson! You are funny and engaging, and by being so, convey the necessary information in a seamless manner that makes it easy to understand. You are a great teacher, a great guitarist! Have you taught "Friend Of the Devil"? That would be an awesome lesson. Thanks again!

Hi Davvy, thanks for your Dead lessons. Because I’m brand new at guitar, could you also list the effects/pedals used? Thank you ✌️
Sadly I'm not a deadhead...but my long lost lost love is...and In our intermingling...this became our song...the one that got away leaves a stain on your brain...played this one time just chords for her...but I got I got better and wanted something for an open mic
Great lesson, simple and informative. I’d love to learn how to dial in some dead sounds. I hear some hall reverb, what else?
