The Music of the Grateful Dead: Arranged for Fingerstyle Guitar

There'll never be another band like the Grateful Dead, but the Dead's music lives on. Now you can learn to play and sing nine classic Grateful Dead tunes from start to finish with Fred Sokolow's 90-minute instructional video. For each song Fred show you how to fingerpick backup while singing, how to play instrumental solo, and how to begin and end the tune. Along the way, you'll learn a lot about finger-picking: backup patterns, soloing ideas and chord positions. Each song is played at regular speed and then slowed down on a split-screen that gives you a close-up look at the picking and chording hands. All the arrangements are clearly written out in tab and music in the accompanying booklet, along with lyrics.
