About this video:

In July 1988, Jerry Garcia sat down with Guitar Player magazine to share some secrets behind his approach -

“You need to have enough access to the fingerboard that you’re not hung up about what where you are. In other words ‘What Key am I in? What scale interval am I at?’ You need to be able to let that go past you. I’m just getting into being able to get a good sound, regardless of the structure or mathematics. So much of the guitar is patterns. But if you look at it right, patterns start to melt into each other; pretty soon you can hit anything from anywhere.”
