Grateful Dead Touch of Grey Solo - TAB

Nathan Powell · Post by **Nathan Powell** » 23 Jul 2013 3:06 pm

Folks, here is my attempt at tabbing out Jerry's solo from the studio recording. Obviously, I had to make some notes clearer than others due to his personal take on timing

Standard tab and K Raises the 1st string a whole tone. Sorry for the poor quality... I will try to scan it ASAP. I also included the counting underneath each bar in case you can't quite feel it. Maybe I will even post an audio clip of me playing it (if I can get it under my fingers!)

Happy playing

Also, I changed some of the notes for it to fit the steel a little bit better, so don't think it is a TRUE note for note transcription!!

Here is the ROUGH audio for context

just ignore all the muddy parts!!

Nice job!
I do a single-note version of this solo.
I liked hearing your harmony lines.
The thing that is cool about this solo is that it is almost 100% arpeggio based.... meaning that you can play it almost entirely out of chord shapes.
I start on the A+F position of the B-Chord.
I'll try to get my version tabbed out just to add to the fun possibilities

.
It was nice to hear you play it on Steel!
