Sugaree Bass Tabs (or notes)

[Steve Feeley]

I am looking for bass tabs for Sugaree by the Greatful Dead, Chris Robinson or Jackie Greene.

You could check out the PDF Garcia Songbook. It's got all of the Dead's and Jerry's tunes shwoing chords and tabs for lead guitar signature licks. It'll have enough info in it to hash out a bassline.

For the majority of the tune, you can play a simple shuffle on the root or on R-5, with some occasional passing notes to connect chords.

 

[Steve Feeley]

Thanks

If you look around on the net, you will find a thick, non-commercial ebook (hundreds of pages) with lyrics, chords and some signature licks of most all the songs Garcia has played with his various bands. Last time I saw and printed it, it was on its 3rd edition.

 

[Fragile Thunder]

Here you go. Here's Sugaree from the Garcia Songbook I mentioned above.

 

[Steve Feeley]

Thank you.

 

[Fragile Thunder]

You're welcome. I've hashed out a ton of Dead tiunes using that book. Great resource. LMK how it works for you.

In the García song book what does the ”%” mean in the chord layout? Ie

Deep Elem Blues |:E///|%|%|%|A///|%|E///|%|B///|%....

Thank you

I think it means repeat the previous measure.

Thank you.....Kind of what I was thinking... just have never seen it before. Any other thoughts?
