Topic: Grateful Dead Songs!

Anyone do any of their songs, I do "Friend of the Devil " and "Ripple" but I'm sure there are some other good ones to do on acoustic.

Thanks Wayne P

Re: Grateful Dead Songs!

Oh garsh Wayne! Now you're talking my language.
Fire on The Mountain; A and G all the way through. It's originally in B but playing it in A is easier on the acoustic.

Franklins Tower (Roll Away The Dew) A D G D play the D's quickly in between the A and G,

There's 2 very easy ones for starters.

Give everything but up.

Re: Grateful Dead Songs!

Hey Thanks Toney,I will download them and then I have to listen to them over and over ,then my tired old brain will finally get them stored in the memory banks and I'm off.

Thanks, Wayne P

Re: Grateful Dead Songs!

Brown Eyed Women is great on acoustic especially with bar chords. I also like Must've Been The Roses but not so much because it's better on an acoustic just because it's a beautiful song; Although that may have been Jerry's song on a solo album? No matter any fans of the Dead will understand my long term memory loss and it's cause!!!!!!

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Re: Grateful Dead Songs!

It's not really a favorite of most Dead fans, but I like to play Touch of Grey...
