I just found this really cool rendition of Ripple.

I'm currently trying to learn how to play Uncle John's Band, so I can't even imagine playing something like this.

Take heart Sean... you WILL play like this. What strikes me is the universality of the words and music, speaking to us all.

That path is for your steps alone.

It's such a beautiful song. I'm listening to it now. The Dead are one of the best bands I've ever heard, hands down, and yet my friends can't stand them. I hate my friends hahaha.

Uncle Johns and Ripple are two of the first songs I learned on guitar. Chords are mostly standard as are the changes/progressions. the challenge is memorizing the order, then once you get that down, the lyrics, which of a sudden tend to escape me while playing guitar at the same time. I can sing both songs without a flub until there's a git-fiddle in my paws, then you'd think I have only heard the songs 4 times and not the 4000 that I actually have!
