If you're a guitar fan, you can appreciate anything Jerry Garcia-related. This solo acoustic performance of "Reuben and Cherise" showcases just how good he was on the acoustic guitar.
It's a classic weird Jerry Garica + Robert Hunter song that will get stuck in your head for days. It's a great all-around classic guitar song that was featured on the Jerry Garcia Band's album Cats Under The Stars.
For guitar players, this is a great song to learn on acoustic guitar (Key of B Major - I V IV - B Major, F# Major, E Major). Once you get the chords down, follow along with Jerry's strumming patterns in the video above.
The strumming transforms the simple 3 chord progression and makes it sound really cool, and it's an easy song to put into your song bank.
Here's a great YouTube video from the 'Play Dead' show that goes into more detail about the song and how to play it!
