There is of course the Bobby part that syncs up. The solo is all E mixolydian... you can improvise to your hearts desire in the jam. Bobby starts the main lick up on 7th fret and it harmonizes with Jerry. There is also an entire instrumental part to the song which is a key element.... the basic framework is here but a lot more to this. Following the arrangement from Without A Net is good framework.

Hey man! I just wanna say that you’ve helped me out so much with my guitar playing in all aspects especially with my fav band! I was introduced last summer by my buddies to the Dead and it’s utterly and completely changed my life for good prolly! I’m 22 years old and I’m gonna be ripping this kind of stuff for years to come! Keep it up man thank you so much you’re the GOAT Cliff!!

Great stuff, Cliff. Birdsong is a favorite and I have worked on it a lot and really tried to become proficient because there is a lot to explore and learn and develop in the song; but I got to a bit of a plateau. Only got to the “just ok; yeah, that sounds like birdsong point”. Excited to dig in and study this one more - you show all the little bit of spice and color that really make it birdsong. Thanks - this one is really helpful!

this has been an amazing learning tool for me...i'm a mediocre guitarist with a seemingly dead pinky...but i've picked up so many good riffs and grooves to adapt to my own way of playing....i've watched this over and over and will continue to until i've mastered it....thanks a million...love your playing style

@@JesseStutsman The pinky is hard for everyone... John mayer's hand are so big that rather than use his pinky he stretches the ring finger and avoids learning pinky technique, but it is worth it as a deadhead because it informs the Garcia style... he leads with the pinky... I can show you on Skype if that doesn't make sense...
