[DMBguitaristJMB]

i use this its sounds better i think
E
B
G---9---4---4---5---
D---------------------
A---7---2---2---3--
E---8---3-------------

[jcost]

the Bm on just the A and the G isn't working for me either, hmm what abouttttt


e-----------------------------------------------------------
b-----------------------------------------------------------
g----9------4>7--5-----------------------------------------------------------
d -----------------5
a----7------2>5--3
e----8------3>7--x

stay on the g for awhile and then right when the lyric goes up hit the Dave Bm chord real fast then quickly back down to the C
...tell me what you think

yea use anything you like. The F is a full sound though if you're playing this solo. the x3x5xx are some of the same notes within the F chord. And does anyone have a better idea of how to end the "Standing on a bridge..." part? ??? ??

[NBMutsch]

Honestly, that first part after "standing" sounds something more like this to me....

Code: Select all

E---------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------
D------3-3--------------------2----2--3--2-----
A-5-5------1-1---5-5--3-3-------3----------3---
E---------------------------------------------

I know it's not right at the end though... sounds like it changes... Hmm...

Thanks good ear! I updated the tabs on the 1st page.

found this on youtube. Don't have the time to tab it out, but looks/sounds pretty good:

i'll post my full tab tomorrow, but the third chord in the chorus is a G with a B root.

try:

Code: Select all

e---|
b-3-|
g-0-|
d-0-|
a-2-|
E---|

or (more in Dave's style)

Code: Select all

e---|
b---|
g-7-|
d-5-|
a---|
E-7-|

[littlefriend]

There he is. Looking forward to it.

I think it sounds the same, but if you look in the YouTube video from MSG Dave never drops down to the 7th fret to get his funky chord with the B root. He clearly stays on the 2nd fret and then onto the 1st fret for the F.

I think a lot of my alternate verses sound more like the Studio version than the power chords. And frankly, I'm surprised that Dave plays so many power chords in the song.

After watching a couple videos here is what I can see Dave playing:
______________________________________

INTRO:

--x--x--x--x---

--2--0--0--2--

at MSG he went to this for later verses...

(that first B note is hit on the upstroke as a pick up to the first "C" chord)

BRIDGE: (not 100% positive on this one, I see his fingers moving a little bit but he may just be muting the strings)

[slim16er]

Dude on youtube has it right on - for sound at least, might not be the way Dave plays it but sound perfect solo

[teach4134]

What about Timmy's little solo in the middle? Anyone got anything on that part?
