[muffinsrock]

haha nevermind, of course id figure it out a second after I post asking for the chords :P.

[muffinsrock]

That was really great man! I love this song, and have been looking for a way to jam out to this song alone and ive finally found a great version!

If its not too much trouble, could you quickly list the chords you're using? Usually im able to just pick it up from the video, but ur fingers are moving too fast :[. Thanks!

I've played around with sugarmags - but have never really been able to translate it to my playing style. If the day comes when I can get a decent vibe with it I will be sure to post.

[smokinghydro91]

[jkstraw]

Nope - but hope to one day. Pretty long haul to get out there for me.

[smokinghydro91]

loving the dead covers, have you thought about making a cover band?

[jkstraw]

Ya I have tried a couple of times - not too many heads up my neck of the woods.  The music scene here is pretty lame :-(

very good cover.

crisp and righteous

[Simon839]

Beautiful song, and a truly beautiful rendition. Nice.

[trek410]

I like the playing and your voice and look reminds me of the lead man from skynard. I get the chorus and the intro but the pattern in the versus is something i am having trouble figuring out. Anybody know it?

[Carlosmr1984]

Jerry maybe is sayin' "There you go dude!" up in heaven man...

Congratulations!

[phishfan16]

wow very nice

[ex0ja]

Top notch stuff mate, well done!

[Amurana]

Aw, I liked your recording. Well done! It was nice hearing that little bit extra, too.

[xxmetalcrazxx]

nice man

[halloweddrow]

Awesome stuff man, I love it.

[tmssinc]

Really nice - made my day! You play very well. I'd never heard the extra last verse - what a bonus.

[jkstraw]

Thanks man - I heard the extra verse in a few shows done in the mid-later 60's. Same with I know you rider..always great to hear how they changed things up

[crosbystillsnash68]

really good job man great to hear this stuff these days very soulful like circa 1970 Dead

[schnandet]

bloody good

[spankrock03]

damn that was really really good

[denhamlewis]

cool man ur gifted ...trust me....great job ....i guess u'll be knowin it by now

[numtag]

great job and a great song

[burjazz]

GREAT VOCAL

[CokeMachineGlo]

Very impressive playing. I enjoyed this a lot.

[timbeman]

Really nice playing! I'm curious, where did you get those tabs/chords? I'd like to play the same way you do :)

[caloiski51]

awesome rendition amigo!

[twk125]

nice job dude... can never go wrong with the dead...

[smadbm]

hey that was awsome my name is mike im 10 years old check out my cover of ripple and let me know what you think.

[Hendrixleft]

dude your awesome, id love to jam. excellent cover, you need to start a southern rock band.

[jkstraw]

Thanks man! I am always ready to jam on some dead tunes...distance may be an issue! Southern Rock band would probably come closest to describing where I am trying to get to.

[xXALTAIRXx]

A program you may want to look into is Ninjam. Ive jammed with people across the country right in front of my computer =P Best part, its completely free.

[mcob1]

you and me play this song almost the same. I throqw in a bm cause its acoustic and the refrain i slide up to d on the fifth fret. excellent vocal.

[Ni9hem]

AMAZING! I don't believe I have ever heard a better version of this song! Yes, even include the Dead. This is AMAZING!

[didgNdrums]

Still cant get over this! HEY!? How bout a lil Me and My Uncle?? = )

[didgNdrums]

Dude, I will give you 6 billion dollars an hour to teach me every Dead tune you know. How bout it? Huh? Huh? Huh? = P

[jkstraw]

haha - I would just settle for someone to jam with! If you got cash just move up here and we'll jam the days away! Thanks man!

[didgNdrums]

Not sure if you got my other comment about a month ago but Ill say it again: Thanks to YOU Ive learned so many Dead tunes Ive always wanted to. (of course tabs dont cut it) I just wanted to thank you man. So, THANK YOU!! Oh and uh....where do you live?? Haha!

[Anachronism91]

I've always wanted to learn that song. Can you point me to the rightplace to find an accurate tab for it?

[peacebabe101]

Jerry Garcia died the exact day i was born so my daddy says he gave his music powers to me because i remember every chord to every song and can sing every song they ever wrote and i am only 12

[Anachronism91]

Very nice. My favorite Grateful Dead song. Very few people do it justice, and you're one of them.

[YepOkay]

Awesome work.

This is my favorite GD song, next to Casey Jones.

[germany10]

good job!

[420jeremy]

This is my favorite dead song. You did it really good. Keep it up man.

[harrytaco]

Amazing! Just amazing! I hope you make a million bucks. Praises, nothing but praises!

[LuckyLady58]

Good job...can tell you sing with passion...good strumming too.....thanks for sharing

[Bign288]

Ha ha i like that sign in the back ground, Grateful Dead dr...thats swell.

yes this song is very good and jkstraw performed it very well..good job dood, I'm givin it 5 stars

[jasuus1977]

nice work! Actually, the vocals are quite sincere and nice. Just polish your general guitar skills so that they are just as good as your singing :)

[jkstraw]

Ain't that the truth! Sure fun working on that side of it!

[cornusflorida]

you rock jkstraw!

[jhonnydisco]
