So much to say

It's so funny to see the small ways that we change it up. It never even occureed to me to use my pinky. I'm strictly a middle and pointer finger kind of guy.

Just curious, what do you guys play for this part:

Code: Select all

E:--------5----------------------------
B:--------5----------------------------
G:--------5--4/6--------------------------
D:----------------7---------5-----------
A:-----------------------3-------------
E:--3/5---------------1--------------------
or

Code: Select all

E:--------5----------------------------
B:--------5----------------------------
G:--------5--4/6------------0---------------
D:----------------7--------------------
A:-----------------------3-------------
E:--3/5---------------1--------------------
I play the second way. I know it's just a small detail...but it's something I've sort of been curious about.

That's stupid and COMPLETLY pointless.

Dave's way of using his pinky to slide on the bottom 3 strings is NOT pointless, despite what someone said. It makes it sound smoother, rather than choppy when you use your ring finger
