Here’s a small collection of Grateful Dead sheet music for mandolin. These are just for educational purposes for students and should not be shared.
These charts a bit a more in depth than basic chord charts (basic chord charts can be found on my Bluegrass Jams chart page here). Given the difficulties of transcribing live shows, mostly I’ll be focusing on either studio albums or a generalized version of a song.
For each song I’ve provided a few voicing options for main melodies and chords for each song. In most cases with Dead tunes, I find there’s no single best way to play them – so I encourage you to review all the voicing options and blend them together.
