Grateful Dead Music Forum

I'd a put this in the PL forum but it ain't there.

This is probably a bit self indulgent but I thought I'd post it anyway - along with really bad singing (maybe the 2nd or 3rd try to sing & play - and it sure shows!) I think I wing a decent lead vibe. So for those who are interested - until I can sing & play it better anyway

solo was definantly good bill. sounds like a familiar seventies version to me

can u tab the first little descending lick starting on the the c on the 8th on the e working all the way down to the other E like the first 15 seconds of it. would be awesome

bill, ya gotta stop pretty soon i'm gonna have no self esteem left

great job, i'm learnin alot just by watchin the leads

Bill, could you please help me with the rhythm you got going on there. Not necessarily a tab, just what you are doing with that pinkie and where the other fingers are. Even watching the video I cant figure it out! Are you just holding an E shaped barre chord? But then where is that pinkie going?

GP - What times does it start?

The C is the open E shape and the F & G would be the open A shape.

Technically speaking this should all be done on the down stroke - unlike what I was doing - though you don't have to - from what I know Bob is a little looser with that notion while JG would stick to it for the most part.

This is a 5th/ 6th rotation over whatever chord your playing and you can throw in the dom 7th as well. (the (15) in the G is the dom 7th and can be played there instead of the 12)

Commonly referred to as a shuffle or boogie riff - I think.

Thanks Bill!!!

bill, it starts from 3:28 to 3:18... thanks
