Grateful Dead

Post by Wife Soup »

Hey, I really like the Grateful Dead and I want to learn a few of their songs. Does anybody know some intermediate songs that I could begin with?

Uncle John's Band, Touch Of Grey, & Truckin' are all fairly easy.

I fucking love the Dead! Box of Rain has fairly simple chords but there are a million chord changes, so it looks a little daunting on paper. It's not overly difficult, though, so take a stab at it.

Ripple (intro is fun to learn also), Box of Rain, Franklin's Tower, China Cat Sunflower are a couple that I like to play that are also easy.

A lot of good Dead and Jerry Garcia books out there
