During the lesson, Mike, you indicate this song is in the key of d. I think it is in the key of E. Is that correct. Also you indicate to capo the 5th string to B. Is it B or A? Thanks for this lesson. This is one of the songs in our jam. Keep this coming.

[Mike]

Yes, Key of E but playing out of D chord shapes.

No, the 5th string is tuned to A in this arrangement. I mentioned that you could tune the 5th string up to B if you wanted but that’s not how I wrote it. Sorry if that was confusing.

Keep picking.

Okay – I love this lesson. Anything else Grateful Dead play would be fun to learn. Keep it coming.

A lot of their songs are copyrighted unfortunately but let me see what other public domain tunes they did and I’ll add them to my list.
