Learn to play guitar confidently, whether you are alone on your couch or in front of an audience. Anyone can learn to find their own voice on the guitar, but it helps to have solid guidance along the way. I've made my living in and around the Boston music scene for almost two decades. I've played with tons of bands across virtually every musical style (from reggae to country to funk to classical and so on) and have taught countless students of all ages and skill levels to achieve their musical aspirations, whatever they are.
Taking what I've learned as both a student and a teacher, I've created an approach to learning skills on guitar that provides the structure you need to see forward progress but maintains the flexibility required to allow you to experiment, refine your sound and have fun.

Ok please understand this, no harm intended..back in the 60s when we would close off the block and bring our instruments out into the street and play there was NO SUCH THING AS FONK GUITAR OR FONK CHORDS. we just called it Rhythm so when we would speak to each other we would say..yo bro play that FONK we were talking about the way it made us FEEL. OK now let me explain it this way..when Dr Fonkenstein came down in the Mothership and we said yo man that's that FONK right there WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW IT MADE US FEEL !..if we said ..that's them BLUES we were talking about how it made us FEEL ..I remember the white folk would ask us What Is FONK ? and we would say if you can't FEEL IT we can't explain it to you. So please understand someone can have excellent technique with Rhythm guitar be playing their behind off BUT the FONK ain't there because we can't FEEL what they are playing, sounding good and feeling it is 2 totally different things..back in the day if you went into a dance joint to play and those people couldn't feel what you was playing..your whole band would be lucky to get outta there in one piece.
Thank you soooo much for this great backing track. Excellent job sir.
What idiot would ever assume that Trey’s playing is mindless noodling?lol😂
I just saw dead grass last night banjo mandolin guitars and a violin what a xshow incredible.no drums
He could swing too ....not many players can.....
Thanks Jeff ✌️⚡️💀🌹
Great video. Extremely helpful since I'm in the middle of working on Bertha. At my level it would be extremely helpful to briefly explain what the thumb is doing. Especially on partial, sus, and more complicated chords. Sometimes I can figure it out using theory to eliminate possibilities. Sometimes not. These finesses - muting and thumb - seem to take the playing to another level. I've experimented, trying to mute the A-string on the C and using my ear. Ironically I found I accidentally muted the high e-string sounding the pure 5-Root-3 triad. But advice from better players is always helpful. Your example of how to work in the sus 4 is a great example. Thanks for your channel. Great resource for learning using Dead tunes.
Billy is often compared to Jerry Garcia?
I've played guitar for decades. And I've adored Bob Weird for decades. I'm ok at the guit-fiddle, but I can't do pinky things very well! My pinky is almost TOO attached to my ring finger on my left hand. I have trouble controlling it and sometimes it just feels like a limp noodle over there Haha. Well, Bobby's stuff gets difficult because of that sometimes. Love him so much though!
Awesome guitar...what brand is it...
Thanks. It’s a B&G Little Sister Crossroads: bit.ly/jwcrossroads
How about improvising in F# Major, Mixolydian Scale. With the Flated 7th.The F# Mixolydian is a mode of the B Major Scale. It contains exactly the same notes, but starts on another note. The F# Mixolydian is the same as the F# Major apart from one note, the seventh in the scale. Mixolydian can also be described as a Dominant mode.
How about jamming in F# Major, Mixolydian Scale. With the Flated 7th.

Garcia as a guitarist is a clear and sad example of the Emperors new clothes.
Very loving rendition..
Heard this song on a Spotify playlist called vintage blues. First time listening to it holly molly Freddie was good at guitar really good timing and feel
You took us on a wild ride with that one Jeff
Great insight for a slide beginner like myself. Any lessons or insight on slide in the style of Lowell George?
THANK YOU!!!!
What I discovered about Duane and his solo style is this, he would play a lick, then play it again only slightly different. Maybe even 3 times and then resolve it. And move on to another idea, doing this until he built up to a crescendo. Duane would take you on a musical journey this way, building then releasing and building again, traveling another road on this musical trip.
As to playing slide, Duane said think like a harmonica player. All those swooping bends came through in his non-slide playing too.
Thanks my brother!! 😊
Duane looks like John Bell Hood
Great video and analysis. Question: how did you get that thumbnail picture to look so good? What software do you use to make these thumbnails?
Thanks. I used to use Affiinity Photo then switched to PhotoShop, but.... this one is from a designer who also uses PhotoShop. He's a wizard!
Hey Jeff, what’s that guitar? Very nice tone.

I enjoy this more as an instrumental
this is genius. thank you
The ending kinda falls apart randomly
You the man, helping me get ready for band practice in style
Thanks Jeff.. great stuff
What a great video thanks, Jeff. Buidling a little database of common tunes is an effective way to learn the sound of different intervals. BTW, good to see having to withdraw was only a temporary setback.
Thanks man, that was great!
Have just joined your channel. This video is a great introduction for me - short and to the point. Those lead solos played over the chord progressions were really nice and soothing, too. Will definitely check out the full version in the link. Thanks for uploading.
Nice job. As the isolated guitar on YT shows us, Duane’s part in the verses is much more complex than what’s here. Duane’s Duane, and we’re not.
Hi ya Jeff, Great tutorial man, the backing track is awesome as well, thank you for doing this. Sadly I haven't stumbled across your channel sooner here, I subbed it immediately 👍 Thanks again, I'll be studding this all morning here.
PS ~ This and probably Blue Sky are certainly up there in my top 5 favorites from this awesome band too, great stuff.
Yes i leaned somethimg! Im not to far from being able to play. "You show a lot of stuff and explain it too. Tjabks buddy.
Brother I am seriously Grateful for you! Mega thanks and ginormous appreciation to you. Thank you, man, for all your wisdom and sharing all you do for us! I still hear him in my soul. So many years🤞✌️❤️ a decade and a half touring. I still hear him and will never forget the magic himand the boys filled the air with. He was a maestro to the spirit within and man how we soar or what 💥💫🤙🫶
Ive understood everything you showed. You got a gift to teach. Thank you. (Is my head supposed to hurt when cramming it full? lol) How Bob knew what he did, At his age. And in the 60s! Its beyond me. "I look up to him for sure"
Your the only one that showed that, "walk up" that Jerry done to each chord! You showed a lot of cool stuff. I'm subscribing, thanks.
❤everyone in the band has to play happily to this song ....unless you're a dragg
Hey :) Can I use it in my cover ?
Sure can
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar Thx
What a song........
😽
You’d probably know this. I always wonder during Jack straw during the jam when Jerry fires off a set of notes in a quick flurry and I always wonder what it is exactly. Is he doing legato when he does that? I’m sure you know the part I’m thinking of.what I mean is, I’m sure you know the point in the jam that I’m talking about. Maybe you know how to do it.
I like ur style brotha
