b-bender solo "Box of Rain" Grateful Dead

Taking a shot at playing Dave Nelson (yes D. Nelson, not Jerry Garcia's) b-bender solo on the studio version of "Box of Rain." All comments good or bad welcome.

[ericgold]

sorry, played it by ear.

[gnrfreak25]

tab?

[ericgold]

Didn't have any. Just kept on listening to the solo over and over again. I am also not good at writing tab.  More of a play it by ear guy.

Awesome -but why such a short version. I would have really dug about a 5-7 min version of this.

[ericgold]

Thanks for the compliment. The reason why it was so short was because I was only trying to play the solo.

Thanks for posting this special song, my favorite Dead song . Real bitter sweet,It reminds me of friends in the past that I loved and are not around anymore. I really dig Dave Nelson and the Riders, Maybe you can do some of their stuff not to much on YT

this sounded just like the studio version...are you saying that that solo wasnt jerry? thats very interesting, and either way its a great interpretation sounds great.
