| | A pictoral guide to the guitars played by Jerry Garcia |
 | | Garcia, whom Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh describes as "not the kind of guy to plan ahead," seemed to have forgotten one important detail: The guitars were not his to give away in the first place. | | | Garcia had to use the spare guitar, Tiger, to finish his final concert by the Grateful Dead. | | | It is the image of this guitar that appears in the self-portrait that graces the cover of ]erry's solo album "Compliments of Garcia". |

| | Jerry Garcia: a SF Mission upbringing |
| | Garcia was equally at home on banjo and pedal-steel guitar, and had the ability to play two entirely different styles of music without a hint of musical overlap (rock 'n' roll/blues and country/bluegrass. | | | Jerry's legacy as one of the great pickers in rock and roll and jazz/bluegrass began with the long hours he spent with Nan and her music. | | | Although Garcia bequeathed his guitar collection to Irwin in his will, the members of the Dead considered them to be part of the band's property. |

| | Legends : Jerry Garcia |
| | Garcia was a consistently loyal friend, good listener and impartial judge of characters. | | | Garcia's Social Urge (Venus) animated from this zodiacal degree, drew pleasure in performing to an extended rock an roll family partaking at a larger table, sharing within social communities structured with love as the foundation of all achievement. | | | After his discharge, he played a few acoustic gigs with Robert Hunter and then fell hard for the 5-string banjo, developing serious frailing and Scruggs-style chops over the next four years while passing through a series of folk and bluegrass bands. |

| | Jerry Garcia Lives... In More Ways Than One! |
| | Jerry the guitarist is among equals here, utilizing his deeply-schooled roots in folk music and bluegrass playing banjo as well as acoustic guitar, transposed to electric guitar: he initiates solos with an eminently light touch, graceful and quick (as opposed to fast - thereâs a difference). | | | The music resonates with a delicious simplicity, as Garcia nails the solo on âIâll Take A Melody,â is such a straightforward unadorned style both George Harrison and Scotty Moore would be proud. | | | Unlike some of Garciaâs solo stands, released last fall in the form of Theatre 1989, for instance, that sound like nothing so much as a musicians too anxious to do something new and different, Merriweather-Post glows with the inspiration of a musicians with much to say. |

| | For many Garcia's music was almost a religion, even though he was just a man. I hope he's in Heaven (or Hell) playing with Janis and that he's got all the heroin he feels he needs. | | | Lots of my friends coped by playing Garcia's music, including our music editor who went to help out and answer the phones at the radio station he volunteers at. | | | Whether we choose to value a life by the amount of money one leaves, or by the amount of people one is remembered by, or by the number of people who want to attend the funeral, Jerry Garcia's life was a success. |

| | Jerry Garcia: News Accounts After |
| | Although his guitar playing was still sharp, Garcia was even less animated than usual, and he frequently forgot or mumbled through lyrics of his best known songs. | | | Although band members always emphasized that they operated as a collective, Garcia was clearly its most visible and marketable symbol--no other band member commanded a line of T-shirts, posters and dolls as Garcia did. | | | The Dead's epic four-hour concerts were more like ritual celebrations, and although Garcia barely moved onstage barely even smiled, the all consuming "vibe" of breezy largely improvised music and uninhibited mirth experienced by millions of tie-dyed disciples would have been unimaginable without him. |
