i havent seen a topic for the stone, and havent been too interested in learning it until i get better, but after i heard it on the storytellers thing i have to learn it.. im a bit confused on the rhythm though. is alternate picking used for it or does he play each note just once?

but its a strumming motion - he just hits the single string.

yep, he definitely strums the whole song....however most of the time he's just strumming the one string that he's playing so it could appear that he's picking it. also see this thread and also this one for more information. if you do a search for the stone you'll find many many threads on it.

I just got done playing it for a talnt show last wed. night...you just have to get so used to the pattern that you can hum every note in your head, then you just have to mute like crazy and keep good time :wink:

i hear it, i listen to it many times, but i just cant play it and get it how it would sound even at a reduced speed. i just dont get it. i guess thats what happens with a lack of experience :evil:

do you want me to break it down nice and slow on an MP3 for ya'?

Pickles · Unread post by **Pickles** » Sat Feb 01, 2003 5:50 pm

dude thatd be great. i think i only really need the intro and the verse. i can get the chorus and the transition out of the chorus, but if you want to record the whole song you can. thanks

sure man...SUPERMAN broke it down along while back, but I don't think it is still up anymore

...give me a few minutes ok?

I would almost call it a mix between a strum and a pick. He strums, but all the fingers are in a position that all the strings are muted except for the note that needs to be played. One hint, all the single notes are downstrokes, except for the quicker played notes on the D string. Of course, the G minor chord is strummed, and the chorus is strummed. The transition is picked with all downstrokes after the first chorus, but when he repeats it again, he sometimes starts a harder strumming action. i submitted that part for the tabs, maybe it'll be up later.

just keep at it, man. It took me forever to get it sounding good, so believe me, you're not alone. I played along with the LS version so much when I was learning it.

have fun with it.

peace

Oh yeah, on Kazaa, don't download the Charlie Rose version, there is another one where he is at a radio station doing a private concert, it is much better. you can also see his fingers more close up to learn the song...
