I have a question regarding the verse. Do you guys hold the G note down and let it ring when you play the xx42xx cord or do you let go of the G before you hit the other two strings?

Verse
E:-2--------x--------------------------
B:-3--------x--------------------------
G:-2--------x-----------2--------4--4-
D:-0--------x--0--2--4-----4----2--2-
A:-- -4--2--x--------------------------
E:-----------x-------------------3-------

I play the G-note by itself first, and then with the other two notes at the end. Dave has done this many times. Watch or listen to a D&T and you'll be able to hear it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Playing it the way you described gives that chord a much richer sound. I assume I am to mute the A string?

I switch it up all the time. Sometimes I'll hold it down while I do the xx42xx part, other times I don't. Same thing with the xx42xx part, instead I sometimes just play open notes (usually when I've had a few to drink or a little smoke or just lazy)

I usually hold the G while playing the rest of the chord.

no slide. I don't hold that note either on the last 2 chords... I shall try it though...

EDIT: Just gave it a go. very little difference in holding it down or not but it does give a little but more punch.

it just seems like its not worth the effort for something you can barely hear, but you can do your thing

The only part I slide on is when it goes

Code: Select all

E:-2-------------------------------------
B:-3------------------1-------------------
G:-2--------2---------2--0h2--0-----------
D:-0--2--4-----4--0---2----------4--2--4--
A:----------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------

Instead I do this

Code: Select all

E:-2-------------------------------------
B:-3--------------------1-------------------
G:-2----------2---------2--0h2--0-----------
D:-0--2 / 4-----4--0---2----------4--2--4--
A:----------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------
