Dead's music is one of the most enjoyable ways to learn guitar.
If you've been at it for a long time, you know what I'm saying.
You learn songs from a laymans perspective, from a basic chords perspective so to speak, and scales fit right into the music sweetly.
If you tackle the songs from listening to their early years, especially while watching how it's done on U Tube, you see that it isn't really all that hard. You just have to keep at it, and apply yourself, and believe that you can get there.
How many times have you played a passage where just afterwards, you know in your heart of hearts, that Jerry or Bobby, at one point in their collaboration, played exactly the same phrase, with the same feel.
And when you do that, you hold your guitar in front of you and you say to yourself, out loud
"Man, I'm really learning this shit, I can really do this!"
