I signed on to Youtube in an attempt to seek out an acoustic version of this song and I expected to find a few hacked attempts if i was lucky, not a guy who absolutely nailed it. Your feel is superb and your accuracy impeccable. I was never the biiggest fan of Bob Weirs song writting, but I'll certainly give him a "moment of genius" on this one. Do you cover "Sossity, You're a Woman" ?

@LOOKN450

thanks! Ooh, yeah, Sossity is a great song but i haven't played it thus far. cheers.

Very, very impressive! I can only imagine how many hours it must have taken you to learn this by ear. Truly amazing.. well done! It makes me realise, though, how even more amazing it was for Bob to write such a masterpiece in the first place.

@74mpaul

Bob's the man.  thanks.

This is my favorite song, by far. You did it so well! How did you learn it? because I have been trying for a while to find tabs or chord charts that sound right and I can't pull it off yet. You clearly have found the best way to do it. whether it be reading sheet music or having an amazing ear for picking out chords.

@jollyranchero

i learned it by ear which you should always trust over what someone else has written down. I've seen published authentic transciptions (not of this song, but of others) that are chock full of errors. So always trust that ear.

I've never seen a transcription of this at all. Not sure they do 'recorded versions' song books of Dead stuff yet. Maybe some day.

thanks!

Dude, you should enter this in the Dead Cover Project!

[SparkyT3D]

This is amazing! I've just been using my looper pedal to jam on Let it Grow, but now I think I'll go ahead and learn this part too. Thank you, sir!
