I'm thinking Jerry Garcia    

Hey Duke! Glad to hear that the tour is going great! If you get a chance to listen to this one while on the road, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm playing what I *think* is that...

Yes, of course you want to keep up with the tempo, but you don't want to SPEED up the tempo, haha! Speeding up the tempo on an uptempo song such as this is extremely common, which...

Dennis, When you say don't hurry up to the rhythm, what do you mean? You have to keep up, don't you?

Hi Boyd --- thanks for the question.  I've updated the links so you can now get to Silent Nigh, Deck the Halls and Auld Lang Syne.  You can also find them on Jerry's Artist Hub...

what happened too silent night, Deck the halls, Auld lang syne. they are gone  

Thanks Duke. Thought I knew how to play this years ago, but I was missing plenty of little goodies!!!

Yes, as I stated in my original reply, I do this as a reference for the beat/groove since there is no guitar accompaniment in during the breakdown. Strictly for reference of the...

4:12, 4:18, 4:24 in this lesson. Again at 8:16, 8:25, 8:32.  Again at 8:45, 8:51, 8:57.  The last set is the most pronounced. I went back and listened to the performance and...
