dave really rarely goes to that alternate way of playing it .. you underestimate the man lol. this is DAVE MATTHEWS were talking about, and i know hes maybe gone to that alternate way a few times but come on he's been playing it for how many years? give him some credit

umm...basically every video i have of him he switches to the alternate way. even saw it live this summer, and he switched. dave switches more than i do.

Hey, nice resurrection. And I think Dave plays the alternate verse for another reason besides his hands hurting. Dave has pretty big hands, He's like 6'2.and he has played since he's nine. I have a feeling that stretching isn't a problem for him. NO one can really tell if his hands hurt during Crash because none of us KNOW dave, But he does play the alternate verse all the time, and I couldn't tell you why. Maybe he just gets sick of the same pattern over and over.

I always thought that Dave used simplified fingerings a lot because shit was just too tiring to play over a whole song, and unnecessary when you have a full band or Tim to fill in.

Like 41, for example, I always saw the verse to be a simplified, easier version of the intro. So like in the first chord, he just removes the middle two notes from the A chord and adds back one an octave higher (C) and something with harmony, in this case an F#. Sounds good and you can play it for hours.

He also repeatedly talks about his carpal tunnel syndrome in his hands. I am sure some of these akward stretches cannot help that out.

EDIT: I could not do that. It wouldn't sound like Crash without the pinky. Ahhhh. The benefits of having a band back you up.

I think you're right on! When you play with a band you don't have to fill up as much space.

My intro to 41 (big stretches) is nowhere near the chord structure of the verse. Are you playing the Luther intro?

what you could do, is mute the B string and play the e string open. the last note of that crash is 5th fret B string which is an e note and equal to an open e string. it will not sound the same. open strings have a different ring than closed(?) strings have
