So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

dreaming tree break down

Unread post by proudestmonkey41 » Sat Jul 22, 2006 6:41 pm

i was just wondering if someone would be so kind as to copy the lyrics for me and just mark down when to make the chord changes?

thanks!

It's in 7/8. Count the beats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 change 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc. Matching up to the words won't help. You just have to recognize the time signature.

That is a lot easier said than done for this song, especially when he's already trying to play and sing at the same time. I don't recomment this approach at all here- Carter does not play a steady 'snare on the 1' or anything on this song, so it's going to be even harder to follow along on this song. Try listening to the bassline as that is the most prominent thing that you can follow that will lead you through the song. If you can listen to that you will know when the changes are coming. Use the bass to help, it's there for a reason. Listening to Stefan's pattern you will be able to anticipate the 1 and the change that comes with it.

If that still doesn't help, just listen and break it down four lines at a time or so, master that section, and move on to the next one.

That's true. Following Stefan would be an easier approach. But still, try to recognize the 7/8 so you don't always have to depend on him.
