jimi thing chorus stretch

[lordmelt]

whats up with that pinky stretch off the E chord in the chorus, hitting the G# with the pinky is impossible while holding that E in place, any one else have any probs with this, or better yet, any tips?

I have problems with that same chord, it pops up in Spoon too. I guess we gotta just practice. I can sometimes get it, but most of the time I end up muting the A string with my pinky.

Yup thats right , gotta keep practicing , it can be tricky to begin with for sure , but eventually with practice you will get it

Instead of playing the regular E chord I play a different one. Compare the two I think this other one sounds just as good.

Code: Select all

DMBtabs Way     Other Way

E:-----------|------------
B:-----------|------------
G:-1-----1---|---4----4---
D:-2-----2---|---2----2---
A:-2-----2---|---2----2---
E:-0-----4---|---X----4---

The 2's are played with a barred pointer finger, the 4 on the g-string is played with the pinky and the 4 low E is played with the ring finger. Let me know if you think it sounds alright, I think it sounds fine.

thanks for the input, that way is much easier, sounds pretty good too

I've always done it that way. On another note, how do you post tab with that tab chart? Where can I find it?

When replying, you skip a line, then hit the code button

Code: Select all

 then skip another line, enter the tab, then skip one more line, and hit the code button once more
