If your guitar is tuned properly it sounds the same

[Davy28]

If thats what is most comfortable for you, then go ahead and play it that way.

[dmbguitar718]

That's what's in the book, right?

[Speenis]

That's what's been posted one million times, right?

Yep.

[Kukini]

That's what's been posted one million times, right?

Yep.

Haha.

I hate playing it that way. The normal was is much easier to get to sound percussively, but to each his own.

[a1075dd63aa12]

im not relearning this shit

[mlb1399]

That's what's in the book, right?

Yeah, the Cherry Lane book.

[Coldchillin]

I don't see how the 0-0 to 2-3-2 on separate strings is even doable to sound close to what is right.

[mlb1399]

They are the same notes, just not the way Dave plays them.

[mangold]

i play the first 5 as an open on D, i play the rest like dave tho

[Coldchillin]

They are the same notes, just not the way Dave plays them.

I know that, I meant like it'll be hard to get the right rhythm...

Its very easy; much easier to get it to sound right when you first start playing rather than having to practice 100000x But I agree that playing it the real way will help you much more than this; the real version makes you stretch it which is useful for Dave songs

[dmbaddict001]

im kinda impartial on the whole play exactly like dave thing, first of all because i do my best to play every song the right way but secondly, because i remember what it was like learning to play guitar. When i frist started out songs like ants marching seemed difficult as well as the stretch on billies. JUST PRACTICE, the songs are wriiten the way they are for a reason, after awhile songs like Billies become easier to play just from muscle memory. PRACTICE!!!!!

[onid41]

the stone, damn this song!

[Kukini]

Play it right STFU!!!!
