Grateful Dead: Songs from the Golden Road: 8 Classics from American Beauty and Workingman's Dead [With DVD]Paperback, 1 September 2013

Grateful Dead's American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, both released in 1970, are pivotal albums in the history and evolution of rock music. Both utilize sparse studio production techniques and primarily feature acoustic instruments. The songs are strongly influenced by roots, folk, and country music, and laid the foundation for all Americana rock to follow, breaking with the '60s rock tradition of electric blues-influenced music. With this book, you will learn all of the great guitar parts to these classic songs. To make learning these parts both fun and easy, the included DVD contains complete, easy-to-follow video lessons for each song. Plus, if you use the disc in a computer, you can access sound-alike and play-along MP3s of every tune, and our exclusive TNT 2 Custom Mix software that lets you create your own custom mixes for practice. Titles: Box of Rain * Casey Jones * Friend of the Devil * New Speedway Boogie * Ripple * Sugar Magnolia * Truckin' * Uncle John's Band.
