Thank you, finally, someone else hears it. . .
like I said, it's a subtle difference and anyone who knows the song well and can play should notice it. it's hell of a lot more than just a couple of chords and a few notes picked out here and there, as is any dave song.

ditto . . . it's just a pain in the ass when you don't feel it right and you'd like to know why.
i guess i just gotta play more of dave's music and get better at the style

yeah, i think you're right (not about dave being sloppy, i think he means to do almost everything he does). i started adding more opens strings and bending and i think i'm closer, thanks!
