Shady Grove: Acoustic Guitar Solos by Jerry Garcia

More about the book

Focusing on Jerry Garcia's deep appreciation for traditional American music, this collection showcases his interpretations of various genres, including bluegrass and blues. Rather than an ego-driven approach, Garcia's recordings reflect his respect for the original artists. Accompanied by mandolinist David Grisman, the album features personal renditions of classic songs. Dix Bruce meticulously transcribes Garcia's solos, providing melodies, tablature, lyrics, and chords that allow guitarists to play these pieces while staying true to their traditional roots.
