Wayy more efficient. Big duh lightbulb moment over here -- thanks!

Even with all the Grateful Dead shows I saw I never just hit it on the right night to catch one. Any chance you have a whole version of Morning Dew tabbed out available for purchase? What is available would be enough, but I just don't have the ear like you. I can play it, but I just need to see it...if that makes any sense.

    Great video! I just have one question. I feel there is one elephant in the room that is sort of avoided in this video which is that the song is clearly in D! But since we include the b7 (c) major chord, it adds a Mixolydian feel. In other words, d major but with a flat 7. Yes this is also the same as G major. Some people say “play g major but start on D as your home”. But it might be a little confusing to just right out say the songs in G when it so clearly resolves to C. Why choose to present it as G major instead of just D major with a flat 7?

  • @StichMethodGuitar

    @StichMethodGuitar

    Жыл бұрын

    Because that is not what a key is…. Watch my square of Stich video or my what is a key video. The starting chord or resolve is not a key. All of the chords come from the harmonized major scale of G and the Scale he uses is a G. To say 1 b7 is just a way people tried to explain a 541 progression

    I don’t mean to sound rude, but you can also watch my sweet home Alabama video. This song is NOT clearly on D. Whoever you are studying from is going to cause a lot of stress for you when it comes to soloing and Melodies. The song IS clearly in G. The proper key signature would have 1 sharp, indicating key of G, now with that being said, this is a D mixolydian progression. Watch my modes videos and also my Bob weir video.
