As someone who is a fan of the Dead, they're also pretty fun to jam  
out on a real guitar, too. :)  Ah, I'm a sucker for "hippy pop"!  
Especially the kind you can merrily turn from a 3-minute jangle into  
into a 30-minute pseudo-Coltrane workout whenever you feel like it. :)

Plenty of GD influence lurking around the edges of Proto-BOC, as I  
recall.  Buck was supposed to be into that vibe back in the day,  
wasn't he?

One of the earliest songs I tried to learn on electric guitar! :)  
The guitar breaks/solo in the middle were tricky, as I recall .... I  
think I'd need a few months of practice (practice!?) to get back to  
the point where I could angle them recognizably.. ;)  But you can very  
satisfyingly play the main riff for ever and a day. :)

Cheers,
Carl
