Hey Everyone! Please join us this Friday, March 7th at the Spoon Cafe in Lindenhurst. Once again, we'll be playing with our friends, Corrientes, so come on...

Hey Everyone! After quite some time on the shelf for both Roses Cantina and Neon Gods, we're combining forces for one glorious evening of playing the music...

Howdy all you Grateful Dead fans... This site has become a little cluttered and fossilize over the last few years. It has strayed far from it's original...
"Let's stop the endless plugging of jambands and bluegrass bands " Funny, this is what I actually enjoy the most from this group! .. hearing about fellow...
What exactly is the purpose of this site? I'd help moderate if there was a clear mission statement. What is allowed? What is not allowed? ... From: "McAlpine,...
I second that one... I would too, even though I'm not an "old Timer" in the group. Let's face it we may be getting to be old timers in the music scene... I...
Right on, Gene! I kinda figured: GearHeads = equipment Grateful Jams = playing & performance Figure live music FYIs would fall into this group as long as it's...
Well, we nominated ourselves...we got an inkling of an idea, but I am just gonna sit here and see if we're on our own. I hope not, but I think the groups...
What scales did Jerry use? I seem to have problems soloing using the major scale, and some of the various modes. My buddy and I laughed the other day, as he...
I was going to suggest something then I got high Gene Salvetti <apollosfyre@...> wrote: Well, we nominated ourselves...we got an inkling of an idea,...
You aren't going to sound like Jerry if you can somehow find the right scale. You are going to have listen and actually figure out some of his licks. On Blues...
I joined this site a couple months ago because of its "mission statement" if you will. I have been thinking of canceling because its seemed to be just east...
Well - Jerry did have a couple of modes that he used an awful lot - mixolydian, lydian, dorian and major. Probably 90% of dead songs are one of these modes or...
My point is that whatever name you want to give to these scales is useless. You can learn your lydian modes inside out and play them at a million miles an ...
Jerry likes to play on the chord structure, for example eyes of the world Emaj7 to A. I learn the solos note for note..excluding the mistakes lol. And then I...
Agreed - however - Garcia played more than just phases. If you want to improv in the solos they are composed of far more than just a handful of phrases - you...
ok cool we got some discussion... What do we want to do with this group... originally it was a place to learn more on how to play Dead songs and learn about...
Disagree. Jerry knew his scales, sort of, but felt the solos. It was more about being in the moment than rote memorization or even improvization. Jerry may ...
Jerry "sort of" knew his scales? That's totally not true. He completely knew his scales and modes thoroughly. That doesn't mean that he stuck to one scale for...
So who's got ideas? I'm willing to let some cooks into the kitchen and put some energy into this group. Carte Blanche. You can make our statement, change...
I agree with your statements regarding tabs & techniques. Youtube is great, but the idea/video is subpar and many times the video does not give a good visual...
Love that idea Pete! I'm still a beginner even though I have played a long time. I just like sittin' on the porch and playing chords to death...I couldn't tell...
Like I said, find musical phrases that you like and learn them in all 12 keys- to do this you do need some knowledge of theory. To use your eyes of the world...
"It is my humble opinion that thinking in terms of all of these modes is a silly way to think about music. Usually only guitar players have this obsession too,...

It's one thing to know your music theory and your modes (useful) and another to be THINKING about them while you're playing (probably not useful). Also,...
