"If you're gonna miss, miss big." - Deaner

Deaner.... possibly the most underrated guitarist of our time. Ween, a true treasure

The irony: Dean is just like, “I dunno, I just play the right notes.”

Deaner is grossly underrated as a guitarist. Thanks for exposing Ween to a new audience

“The guy who taught me guitar taught me one lesson... always play the guitar below your D1ck or above your D1ck like George Harrison, never ON your D1ck.” - Dean Ween, Guitar Moves interview kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLtpmbeeudnXo3U.html

I discovered Ween through your Transdermal Celebration video and now they’re one of my favorite bands!

Dude ween is the greatest band ever

Eddie Hazel was 42 when he died in 1992. #83 on Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists.

Buckingham Green is a must listen. The solo is the stuff of legend

Deaner said every solo is Dickey Betts or Maggot Brain.

A tear for Eddie is one of the most moving instrumentals I’ve ever come across.

There's a word used to describe the 'mistakes' that Ween makes, its Brown... My understanding is that its based on vibe, and playing fully in the moment, you mess up, but move past it furiously. There's a Jimmy Page-Ness to it.

I love that you're getting into ween. Paint the town brown mang

Saw Ween in 96-97ish. Played a show where Gene was blackout drunk on Tequila. Stopped the show 40 minutes in. Came back to the same club 6 months later and crushed it for over 3 hours straight. Crazy band. Give Ol’ Queen Cole a ride!

I hope Deaner comes on the channel, I'd love to see those two nerd out for a bit.

I was born listening to Ween. But I know no one who appreciates them the same way me and my old man do. Thanks for keeping them relevant and ALL HAIL THE BOOGNISH!

Chocolate and Cheese gets as much play time in my house as American Beauty, maybe even more. And I must say bassist Dave Dreiwitz has the two best gigs ever, playing for both Ween and JRAD.

He's probably fishing. You can hire him for a charter an interview him then. Man loves to fish.

Ween is one of my all time favorite bands. It's very heartwarming to see them getting some attention from a youtube personality I admire.

Deaner is not only one the best guitarist of all time, but he might just also be one of the coolest and funniest dudes of all time !

I live about half an hour from New Hope, PA. I went to John and Peter's on a friends tip that Dean's jam band plays every Wednesday. I got to meet Dean and even sing with him for a Johnny Cash and Stones song. Now that was before I started playing guitar, they do take people who can play from the audience sometimes. Can't wait to go back and actually jam with him this time! Great dude inside and out.

If I may be so bold as to speak on the behalf of the entire Ween community... You're welcome.

Ween might be the most underrated band of all time while in the running for greatest band of all time. Truly a paradox.

"The quality of the audio is a little off, here." That's the best way to listen to Ween. It's another shade of brown

I hope Dean gets back to you. He really is a pretty amazing player. Thank you for digging into Ween.

"weird and wild band that defies description" is the best description of Ween I've ever heard of.

WEEN crew checking in! Keep them coming. We roll deep. Hail Boognish

Oh man, I love Ween so much. I was hoping to see some of their stuff on your channel. :)

Good luck snagging Deener, Michael..!! Hope you can, coz I'd love to see that. No doubt you're aware that 'Tear for Eddie' is from 1994..!! Mickey Melchiondo is probably the greatest modern guitarist, and most people don't know about him.

Also, Deaner is cool af and accessible to fans. I bet he'll come on here

I strongly recommend listening to more tracks from the Live In Chicago show. The recording quality is so great, and Ween songs take on such a different character when they're done live. The older recordings were very rough, it was the two of them only with a 4-track backing them. It's amazing to hear the live versions and go back to what they came from, realizing it's the same song at it's core, but just so much more fleshed out and full with the whole band backing them.

It makes me so happy to watch someone become a ween fan. It makes me feel like I did when I discovered them

I always get recommended your videos and never bite because most reaction videos on YT are cheesy and way over embellished but I've been on a Ween kick and thought I would give this one a shot. I am so glad I did you are a fantastic teacher, laying out the chord progression and explaining what Dean was playing was a great exercise and I will definitely be watching more of your videos. I was not expecting the great tips and analysis!

Ween is another one of those groups that you really need to listen to their entire catalog, or at least three albums, to fully understand. White Pepper is probably the best album to introduce a new person, but there’s a lot of crazy gems on their other stuff.

best most underrated band FIGHT ME

The best thing about ween is 10 years later I'm still finding new favorite songs from them. Caesar is near my favorite "album" now

Mister Won't You Please Help My Pony will melt your mind

Yesssss glad you're digging ween. Boognish changed my life

It's nice to see Ween get some props from a musician who doesn't know them well. These videos are super interesting.

You wanna lose your mind and feel like you've switched dimensions...listen to 12 Golden Country Greats by Ween. The lyrics juxtaposed against solid old-school country foundations is just FUN!

Glad to see you walking down the ween catalogue! So many gems so little time! And now you know how committed the fans are too! Thnx for doing these fun even for a non guitar player! Praise boognish

Ill be your Johnny on the spot from live in chicacgo has a solo that will melt your face.

Ween is the greatest band to ever live. I don't care what anyone says.

Thank you for putting a spotlight on Ween. I’ve been using them as the soundtrack to my life for almost 25 years and always thought they never got the attention they deserve. You’re awesome, man.

"Does it sound cool? If it doesn't, just keep doing it, it'll get cooler." That's actually such good advice

So glad you found your way back to Ween. I had to share your friend's description of them from your Transdermal Celebration video with a few friends. It was spot on! Thanks for running the giveaway! I am definitely GASing for my first hollow body and PRS right now.

One thing you will learn right quick is that the Ween fandom loves anyone who loves Ween.

It's a wonderful rabbit hole that i fell down in the early 90s.. pre apocalypse we did a tribute a few times a year. Love this band. Broomfield changed my world

Dude I love your channel. The positive attitude and excitement for music and life in general is something I look forward to watching each time you post. Keep rocking my friend.

Love your positivity and the natural feeling you have for music Michael. Especially great to see a first time look at a ween song. I'm a huge ween fan so it's a real buzz! More power to you

Hey man! I just started watching your lessons, and I've also just been discovering ween, so this is doubly awesome! Thank you for what you do.

If you're going to miss, miss big my friend

Dude, your face when you're touched by the sound of brown, i felt that! Deep joy xx

Have only gotten into Ween recently and really digging them. Listening to Maggot Brain now and realizing that Tear For Eddie is basically Dean's version of Maggot Brain. Both are SO GOOD!

He is a secret monster of a guitarist. I got into them decades ago and saw past the goof to the pure talent they have. What’s great is he finds a pocket and goes for it. Eric Clapton once said something to this effect on soloing, “It doesn’t matter if its not right, if it sounded good once, play it over and over again”! Another one from Eric Clapton was like, “If you mess up but repeat it, no one will think it was a mess up”. Hahahahahahahahaha so true

When I saw this pop up on my feed I got super stoked. Thank you! This is my favorite Ween song.

MORE WEEN!

This video completely goes against that line many of us know - 'No talking during a Tear for Eddie'... But this is simply a kickass review of a kickass song, so the Boognish forgives 🙌

I've been watching your videos for a while, even bought your course, and you have no idea how happy it makes me that you have become a Ween fanboy

Your understanding of the guitar and the keys of the language of music is amazing. Bravo my good friend

Gotta dig that bit at about 18:55 where Deaner expertly displays how to solo with the guitar "down around your ankles."

best live band of all time.

love the ween stuff! thanks for more!

This is great, keep doing these Ween reacts!

Woohooo, Michael. Thanks a ton for this! WEEN!!!!

thanks for sticking with Ween! like i said the first time, i really have no clue about the technical "theory" side of their music (i guess i'm more of an "emotional resonance" guy), but it's so fun to see someone appreciate their music on this level!

Ya baby more ween!

Well done. Great insight. Good knowledge. Whoever picked this version of tear for eddie was spot on. Wonderful song.

Yes! Thank you for giving some attention to the magic of ween.

Been waiting for this one!!!

My favorite Ween song, hands down.

Hell yeah WEEEEEEEEN! Subscribed

Thanks man. Fantastic.

I love that band so much, great video man.

Thanks for ween

Im glad you are bringing more people to Ween. It's always a delight watching someone discover Ween!

I feel sorry for people who don't know Ween.

My buddy jimmy introduced me to ween and I'm forever grateful! I saw them live at bonnaroo in 2010, simply amazing.

Nice to see we have yet another ween fan in the making

Hey, I had a dream the other night where we talked about this video. Quite moving! I’m a long time ween fan and love this tune. Got an extra ticket to 10/30 and 10/31 for Ween in Denver. If you haven’t seen them in person, it’s next level. Let me know, Michael, if you want to come to Denver later this month.

Glad you did this video, Deaner said A Tear for Eddie is his personal favourite song out of their catalogue.

keep up the good work - I came here (Transdermal Celebration video first) as a Ween fan trying to learn how to play Ween songs but found your comments on theory and the thought process behind the playing to be really insightful. Checking out Guitargate now. Keep up the good work! Oh, and just listening to the final second of the video - you just reached 100k subscribers in June and now over 200k?! Wow~ Keep rocking' bud! Killer!

And let's not forget the drums in this song as well. Masterpiece

Great band. Look forward to you covering them more.

Great video, dude. keep on doing this kind of stuff, bro. (I just started studying music theory lately, I find your contents very helpful.)

I discovered ween on this channel. Thanks Michael!!!

Deaner plays a wide variety of styles in his guitar work outs. Of course there’s heavy rock: Johnny on the Spot has the most wailing, breakneck improvised solo, Dr. Rock is supreme hard-rock majesty, Stroker Ace and It’s Gonna Be a Long Night (Motörhead rip) are rippers. Gabrielle is a rave-up Thin Lizzy rip-off. Epic progrock replete w scripted solos: Buckingham Green, The Golden Eel. Latin/Caribbean mock-rock- Voodoo Lady, Bananas and Blow (Buffet slag). Groovy up-tempo folk rock- Chocolate Town all have great scripted solos. Then there’s the pure weirdness of The Grobe, Happy Colored Marbles, Polka Dot Tail, etc. So many more but these are some of his signature concert moments.

YES!!! do “Mister Would You Please Help My Pony” next please!!!

LOVE WEEN!

The pre chorus in "How can you mend a broken heart" by the Bee Gees is another great example of a dominant three chord. Didn't have a name for it before a saw this video so thank you very much for that!

YES MORE WEEN!! I LOVE YOU!!

I just stumbled across your videos and Wow. I haven't heard Ween in years. I stumbled across Ween in the early 90s and I just found their music to be sooo mellow. It's great music to drive to if you are on a long drive and by yourself or with Ween fans. I had no idea there was a pattern to the music. I just remember how it flows. Joe Satriani would be my all time favorite though. Surfing with the Alien and Always with me, Always with You are my most favorite songs after all these years.

the Deaner episode of Guitar Moves is great

Deaner don’t know all that fancy cord talk, fella just shreds.

WEEN best of all time. Amazing live showw

Awesome job brother! RIP Eddie 🎸🔥

Wow this guy is good

I love how this kind of blew your mind. I play too.. welcome to brown town! I love how he's such a goof with his playing.

i love what you do. wish i had known about the hollow body sooner. musician in austin, tx. THkS Michael
