How to play the Sugar Magnolia melody on guitar

The melody of Sugar Magnolia by Grateful Dead runs 388 notes across 83 bars, 3:12 long in A at 160 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? Sugar Magnolia chords and lyrics.
