Song: Brokedown Palace
Artist: Grateful Dead
Album: Dead Set (Live)
I noticed that as far as Grateful Dead TAB goes, not much exists in
terms of Jerry's solo's. The following is the complete solo from Brokedown
Palace off their Live album "Dead Set". It's not too difficult to play, and
he uses a very clean sound. I neglected to take great care writing out the
timing because you should be able to acquainted with that by listening to the
album.
I did indicate song times where convenient.
The original contributor only posted the chord progression. It looks
correct, though I haven't actually played it along with the album, so I'm not
sure if it's altered on "Dead Set" or not.
I think Jerry's playing on an A Mixolydian, which is just a C scale
using the A as the root note. I think this solo is as accurate as can be
attained by ear. For difficult parts, I used "CD Looper" software which slowed
the track down to 1/4 it's normal speed, to listen for vibrato and hammer-on's,
etc.
If you have any suggestions or corrections, please e-mail me:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GRATEFUL DEAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
