in the album set, "Ladies and Gentlemen... The Grateful Dead", performed at Fillmore East in '72, Jerry puts out a nice fill for the intro for Not fade away, when they play it following goin down the road.
It is played in between three down-strokes of a standard open "E" Chord, in place of an open A Chord. Try it.
(again, please forgive my tab skillz)
E--0-0-0-------12--0-0-0--12------
B--0-0-0--7/9------0-0-0----9/7-5-
G--1-1-1-----------1-1-1----------
D--2-2-2-----------2-2-2----------
A--2-2-2-----------2-2-2----------
E--0-0-0-----------0-0-0----------x2
The last fill, the "E" not on the "B" String can be played on an open e as well, but i found that it sounded better as played on the B strings instead of open. Sometimes I would get a nasty hammer off E to B sound that I didnt want, but none the less the open E does sound different imo than the fifth fret E.
Also, a pull off from G# to F also seems to work in place of a slide in the second fill.
Tell me what you guys think!
