Proudest Monkey

Unread post by sacdeez » Sat Oct 26, 2002 3:56 pm

I just wanted to see if anyone else plays Proudest Monkey by barring the fourth fret and just moving one finger. I saw the vid on here and it looked really complicated. I'm a beginner and I've been playing it a different way, any comments?

I played it that way becuase it's the way that Dave plays the song. That's just what I do w/ DMB songs. BUT, I also personally feel it is easier becuase barring for so long puts extra strain on the fingers. I see no need to bar when you can just move your fingers like I show in the video and not put the extra straing....oh well, to each his own...ENJOY!!!
