CREDITS

There’s one guy who deserves most of the credit. He’s gone.

He didn’t care about getting any credit when he was alive.

And he wouldn’t care what I did with his stuff.

I know that because he told me that himself the one time I spoke to him in 1973.

I didn’t have a hand in writing any of the songs or any of the lyrics on this site.

They’re all ripped off. My impression is that no one involved in their creation really minds.

With permission, this site rips off the lyrics of others typed out by others on the Deadstein site: http://deadstein.com/Music/index.htm

In fact, the author of that site kept the .html files as well as the new .pdf files because pdf prevented me ripping off the lyrics into these tabs. Very cool.

I ripped off some song anecdotes from The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics site: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/gdhome.html

They never heard of me until recently and don’t have a problem with links to their site.

I never ripped off Dozin, but here’s his site: http://www.dozin.com/. It’s the ultimate overall Dead site.

And if you want to see some cool fish, go here: http://www.wildlifeglass.com/. I didn’t have to rip off a fish. John gave me one.

The tab is mine in the sense that I copied what I heard into finger positions on a guitar and typed it out.

The licks, leads and riffs, of which the tab is a partial interpretation, were ripped off.

If you like my guitar, you can get one like it at: http://www.resurrectionguitars.com/

Sometimes I come home from work, put my feet up, pick up a guitar, click on a GD wav, and tab what I hear.

I don’t regard it as work. You do, however, have to like the Grateful Dead and the licks of Jerry Garcia.

"Not everybody likes the Dead, but the people who like the Dead _really_ like the Dead."

If you want to rip this site off, feel free to do so for your personal enjoyment.

That’s why I posted it. Just don’t make any money at it. It’s bad form and your playing will suffer.

PPS: I get a lot of emails asking me to tab out this song or that. I’d like to tab everything, but it’s just not practical ‘cause I have another life that keeps me pretty busy. Basically, I tab out the stuff that interests me - I hear a cool lick, I want to tab it out. Just try it yourself and you’ll be amazed at how easy it gets with a little practice. And with a little practice of what you tab out, you can actually play the tune. Not like the Maestro, of course, but you’ll get close to a lot of it.
