From Marty Music.

Learn how to play “I Know You Rider” by the Grateful Dead on guitar!
In this lesson, I’ll show you both the beginner-friendly open chords and the more rhythmic barre chord shapes, plus soloing tips using the D major pentatonic scale and chord-tone arpeggios like Jerry Garcia would. Whether you’re a Deadhead or just want a fun jam tune to add to your setlist, this one’s a blast to play!
