Jerome John Garcia(August 1, 1942– August 9, 1995)[1][2][3][4]was an American musician best known for being the principal songwriter, lead guitarist, and a vocalist with the rock bandGrateful Dead, which he co-founded and which came to prominence during thecounterculture of the 1960s.[5][6]Although he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader of the band.[7][8][9]He was inducted into theRock and Roll Hall of Famein 1994 as a member of the Grateful Dead.

As one of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for the band's entire 30-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders–Garcia Band (with longtime friendMerl Saunders), theJerry Garcia Band,Old & In the Way, the Garcia/Grismanand Garcia/Kahnacoustic duos,Legion of Mary, andNew Riders of the Purple Sage(which he co-founded withJohn DawsonandDavid Nelson).[8]He also released several solo albums, and contributed to a number of albums by other artists over the years as asession musician. He was well known for his distinctive guitar playing, and was ranked 13th inRolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" cover story in 2003.[10]In the 2015 version of the list he was ranked at #46.[11]

Garcia was renowned for his musical and technical ability, particularly his ability to play a variety of instruments and sustain long improvisations. Garcia believed that improvisation took stress away from his playing and allowed him to make spur of the moment decisions that he would not have made intentionally. In a 1993 interview withRolling Stone, Garcia noted that "my own preferences are for improvisation, for making it up as I go along. The idea ofpicking, of eliminating possibilities by deciding, that's difficult for me". Originating from the days of the "acid tests", these improvisations were a form of exploration rather than playing a song already written.[12]
