Jerry Garcia the lead guitarist singer and alleged leader of the Grateful Dead became an icon of the 60s youth movement. It was well-known that Jerry was a huge fan and probably considered himself a player of old-timeAmerican music from mountain fiddle and banjo music to English ballads to jug band music to bluegrass and blues and more. On the 'Shady Grove' recordings one can hear the deep commitment respect and love Jerry had for thistraditional American music. He's very faithful to the original artists' music. That may be surprising if you expect more of an ego-driven 'my version' approach from one the biggest rock stars ever. What you have here is a vibrantcollection of wonderful traditional American songs from a great variety of genres played in a style closely based on their traditional sources. Of course within those parameters we hear wonderful and personal readings of thetunes from both Jerry and mandolinist David Grisman. Dix Bruce has carefully transcribed many of Jerry's solos from the album trying to determine not just what he was playing but how he was playing it. Melodies tablature lyrics and chords are included in arrangements designed to be playable on the guitar while presenting the melodies as closely as possible. Jerry's banjo solos are transcribed here for guitar.

Eleven of the big-haired stadium band's biggest rockers and power ballads. Authentic guitar transcriptions with notes and tablature.

Beautiful Airs and Ballads of the British Isles. This fingerstyle guitar collection features 20 engaging lyrical tunes from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales plus three original pieces by accomplished guitarist, trumpeter and composer William A. Bay, president, and editor-in-chief at Mel Bay Publications.

Conceived to be played on either steel or nylon-string guitar, these pieces are written in both standard notation and tablature. Includes online access to the author?s own audio recordings.
