I play it the way it is out of the Luther College tab book.....I think it sounds on, but will have to try the way some of you guys do it.

that's how I play it which is ever so slightly different than the other ones posted.

This is how I play it too. I think one of the most important things in getting the sound right is the slide on the d and g strings. It always sounds to me like its held for just a breif moment and then he moves on to the double 8s on the d and g strings. The double 8's on the d and g strings help to sustain the sound of the slide. If you can get that slide part in the beginning to sound right, then the rest will fall into place pretty naturally.

nice job on the soundbite gravedigger, very smooth. i actually never used to go back to the Ab on the E after going through the chorus, that's what i was missing. thanks.

Did you happen to listen to my link for Satellite? No one's more critical of me than me, but I gotta say I really believe I've got this part pretty damn close....... opinions anyone?

Grave.......there's no doubt your playing is head and shoulders above mine....the TB contest made that clear :cry:

- in fact, you got my 2nd place vote behind Cave

But on your satellite clip, I gotta say something just doesn't seem to be exact about it. Did you purposely play it slow for the sake of the original poster? Something just seems to be off and I can't quite put my finger on it

Am I crazy?

k...its about 11:30 and I just want to sleep...but I wanted to get this clip put up first...I'de appriciate help with the strumming on the chorus section...I've only been playing for about 4 months, but I tried to emulate gravedigger's post in the clip...

you're prolly not crazy. I played it slower than Dave plays it with Tim, but it you notice in the full band concerts, he plays it pretty slow. I wanted to play it on that slower tempo so it could be heard better also. I listened to it back and I except for a few little mishaps, the chords and the timing is how I wanted it to be played. it's ever so slightly different than jkanter's tab, but its how I play it.

peace,
Ken

OK...makes sense. I find the studio version to be PAINFULLY slow.

hey CPTino3001, i'm sorry i downloaded gravediggers soundbite first, i've been trying to download yours and the page doesn't seem to be working but i'll keep checking it. i've never actually played guitar with anyone else who likes to play dmb so i am always anscious to listen to another person play. i have to say that gravediggers version was pretty right on, give or take the timing but dave never plays it the same by himself or with tim. i'll give it a try tomorrow. peace.

ok, i just got done listening to both CPTino3001 and gravedigger's soundclips and i have to say that they both sound very close. but if i had to pick one i'd have to say that gravediggers is most accurate. CPTino3001, yours is by no means not accurate, i think that your strumming is a little off but other than that is seems that you guys are playing the same notes for the most part. i think i strum the chorus a little quicker than gravediggers but i'm not saying i play it correct. i wish i could record sound clips, the only recorder i have is an extremely shitty 60sec. sound recorder on windows xp. how do you guys make those clips anyways?

I use Cool Edit Pro (Thanks Kazaa) to record the clips...I just run line out of guitar into line in port on computer...
