Alright.. it's killing me.

The tab says this:

E:-------------------------
B:-------------------------
G:-----2-------------------
D:---------3---5-5--2-3-2--
A:-5-----------------------
E:-------------------------

But I hear this:

Code: Select all

E:-----------------------
B:-----------------------
G:-----2-----------------
D:---------3---5-5--2-3--
A:-5---------------------
E:-----------------------

I can only get it right if I leave that last note out. I think it sounds right when I play it that way. What do you guys play? Is there anything you can tell me from experience? This is really boggling my mind..

it sounds better with the last note out

I play it the 1st way, it sounds good to me, i hit the last note just before i hit the 5 again..

yeah, to me, the last note is actually the first note, you just don't play it the first time. i leave a bigger pause between the second last and the last note than i do between the last and the first note.

when you're talking about 'second last' and 'last note', do you mean the way you play it?

EDIT: When you play along with Dave, is the timing right?

Also, I do play that last note in the verse just before the:

Code: Select all

E -3-
A -1-
D -x-
G -3-
B ---
e ---

chord.

when i'm talking about the second and last notes, i mean the way the tab is written on this site. the first way, on your initial post.

and yes, the timing's right when i play along with dave. he plays that note a lot softer than the others, so it's not as noticeable.

hmm maybe i should try some of this stuff. i play the first way but have never been able to play along w/ dave or jkanter. thought i was too slow...but yes! i can cheat!

EDIT: i've also had trouble breaking my habit of playing 5 2 3 555 232

i'm surprised to hear that some prefer (or simply find it less diffidcult) to Not play the last note of this bit. i don't think it sounds right at all, even if you still keep the song on-rhythm. it just doesn't sound nearly as good to abbreviate it.

that's just 'shortcut' talk, in my opinion.

lol yea shortcuts aren't usually good. by the way thats a disgusting avator you have. GO YANKEES! :lol:

I agree with mattm and granny. You need that last note in there.

mattm · Unread post by **mattm** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 9:18 pm

indeed. i'm at that point where i'm trying to eliminate any shortcuts in my dave playin. but i do like to mix it up. i listen mostly to dave&tim 99 & 03, and dave does variations that i love. but i try not to play anything shorthand. 8)

oh yeah granny?? ya know the M's have won like 14 of the last 17 at yankee stadium over the past four years. (i always love throwin that one out there). but, the M's just gave up 1st place in the ALWest for the first time since april 12, to the A's of course. and boston may grab the wildcard. :twisted:

but it's all good if i'm playin well

I agree, if you take shortcuts, how are you gonna become a better dave player?
