Grateful Dead
Friend of the Devil
I never used to like The Grateful Dead, but now that I play a
little, I realize why Garcia had/has such diehard fans. I can't
take total credit for this tab, I rented a movie from the library.
This tab would have been impossible without it, I have altered it
slighty. It's 95% correct. (P.S. this is the entire song on one
guitar, so it's a little diff, but still incredible, best way to
impress your friends!!)
