How to play the Shakedown Street melody on guitar

The melody of Shakedown Street by Grateful Dead runs 305 notes across 27 bars, 2:46 long in C at 100 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.

Prefer to strum and sing it instead? Shakedown Street chords and lyrics.
