Help with "Stay"

Unread post by myonlybliss » Sat Jan 24, 2004 12:18 pm

I started playing stay by strumming a Bb barred chord and while this sounds real close, I see that the tabs only list two of the notes in that bar.

Intro
E:-------------------------------
B:-------------------------------
G:-10\---10---8---7---8---7---8-- <---finger 4(1on 1st 8)
D:-8-\---8----8---5---5---6---6-- <---finger 1
A:-x-----x----x---x---x---x---x--
E:-x-----x----x---x---x---x---x--


So............

how do you only play the 8 and 10? how to mute the other 4 strings? And second off--why do this---the full barre chord sounds fuller, and in my opinion just as good.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also---is this intro using "double stops" and again, if so, why?

Yea he plays it like that for sure, and its easy as shit to mute the 4 other strings. That was the first song I ever learned by dave, its easy.

he doesn't mute that much. He just mutes the two strings around the fretted string (except for palm mutes, of course).

Or you could get a video camera and make one. I would, if my video camera would work properly with my computer.

Can anyone do a video of the jam in Stay? or is it included in this video? I seem to stumble on that part.
