The Grateful Dead
Guitar Fundamentals

Strum your favorite Grateful Dead songs in less than 10 minutes a day

Does your practice routine look like this?

• You pick up your guitar and pop on a 10-minute Youtube video lesson…
  
  
• Then shift to learning one of your favorite songs from tabs…
  
  
• Then switch to figure out a song by ear, get overwhelmed, give up…
  
  
• Then noodle around for 20 minutes...

 
All while hours can go by without really accomplishing anything?

I do think there’s a big value in using the guitar as your expression and just noodling around…

However, the “practice routine” above is not going to help you jam with other musicians, write better solos, record music, or otherwise.

Instead, it’s better to start with small, achievable goals for just 5-10 minutes per day.

And that’s why I decided to create The Grateful Dead Guitar Fundamentals.

The goal is to get you to play 10 new songs in just 5-10 minutes per day

• It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played a complete song before…
  
  
• Doesn’t matter if you don’t know scales or strumming patterns…
  
  
• And it doesn't matter what kind of guitar you have.

This video course will slowly walk you through 10 popular Grateful Dead songs - covering the chords, strumming patterns, scales, and riffs involved.

I designed this course for “beginner” guitar players… but really it’s for anyone who wants to add 10 new songs to their repertoire.

This caters to different skill levels because each song covers 3 different levels - each with slightly more complexity.

“I used to struggle to make solos sound like anything, now I can play through ‘Sugaree’ with the vocal melody, and it sounds great.”

Before I share more, let me introduce myself:

My name is Jeff Williams. 

I’m a musician and guitar teacher with a BA in Music from Westfield State University, with a concentration in Jazz Studies on guitar. 

Over the years, I’ve played hundreds of shows, with dozens of bands, in a handful of different genres.

Nowadays, my real passion is teaching guitar and creating YouTube videos.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve taught hundreds of students online and in-person. 

Through my experience, I've  learned how to provide students with the guidance, structure, and support they need to maximize their growth and achieve their guitar goals as quickly as possible.

I’m so proud to have helped guitarists overcome their limiting beliefs, be more expressive, and have more fun.

And I’m very grateful to consistently receive positive testimonials, reviews, and video comments from all of my students. 

But it wasn’t always this way…

I used to struggle with chords, solos, jamming with others, learning new songs, and so much more.

Sometimes I felt as if I’d never improve.

I would play the guitar for hours and hours on end…

Play boring and repetitive scales until late into the evening.

And wouldn’t stop until blisters made it too painful to play.

… All without ever feeling like I was making any sort of real progress.

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve even had music teachers pull me aside and give me harsh criticism on my playing… which at the time completely crushed me.

But music was my passion and I was determined to get better

So I studied my favorite guitarists who had already achieved what I wanted to too.

I looked up to guys like Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, David Gilmour, Trey Anastasio, Duane Allman, and others.

And it wasn't until I learned a few dozen songs from beginning to end, that I realized just how valuable this was.

This taught me the discipline to finish a task, the understanding of song structure, the ability to easily jam with others, and so much more.

And after seeing so many beginner students skip this step of learning complete songs, I knew I needed to create a course around it...

And so, the “Grateful Dead Fundamentals” course was born!

I decided to create a series of courses exploring the most fundamental parts of playing guitar - learning songs.

This course goes over the nuts and bolts of popular Grateful Dead songs including the chords, strumming patterns, riffs, and scales.

Learning complete songs is a valuable for you whether you want to write original music, play covers, or just jam and improvise.

As an added bonus you'll get...

✅ Bonus #1: Four introductory Primer Videos

While the bulk of the course is to teach you the chords, riffs, and themes from 10 popular Grateful Dead songs...

It also includes a very important section I’ve called “Primers”.

These 4 videos cover topics like…

• Should you choose acoustic over electric? (Primer 1)
  
  
• The #1 most important concept when it comes to learning the guitar as a beginner (Primer 1)
  
  
• How to read song charts, tabs, chord diagrams, time signatures, scale charts, and more! (Primer 2)
  
  
• What to do if chords are too difficult to play (Primer 3)
  
  
• How to use your “P” Finger and “G” Finger to easily navigate between two chords (Primer 4)
  

These videos were inspired from the exact questions I’ve gotten over the years.

✅ Bonus #2: High-Quality Backing Tracks

Not everyone knows this, but over the years, I've created more than 250 backing tracks...

I've learned a thing or two, and have found that the best quality backing tracks...

• Feature professional musicians recorded in a high-quality studio
  
  
• Include MP3 + jam-along videos that show which chords are being played and what scale to play over it
  
  
• And the ability to download and keep them to play along to forever.
  
  

There are no poor quality, AI-generated tracks ever.

✅ Bonus #3: A Master PDF Reference Guide

For all the visual learners, you can print out this Master PDF sheet to reference the scales, chords, tabs for riffs, and song structures for all 10 songs. 

Once you go through this video course, you’ll be able to…

✅ Play 10 new Grateful Dead songs with ease

✅ Learn how songs are structured, so you can start to write your own

✅ Have a new "setlist" of songs to jam with other musicians, perform live, or to practice on your own

✅ Improve timing, tempo, strumming, and improvisation with 10 high-quality backing tracks
