DM Strum and TR #41 fill

Unread post by JAM » Fri Oct 20, 2006 9:47 am

Hi All,

I am still trying to figure out how it is that Dave keeps his strumming at one quick pace but still seems like he's picking strings.
For example Lie In Our Graves.

Does anyone know the fill for TR in #41 Live at Luther College when he fills in for the saxophone in the background? :roll:

It's all about muting the strings you're not playing, and Dave is a master at that. For LIOG, just mute the strings you aren't playing, like after the open D chord, the 4-2 (C#, B) is actually strummed with the 3 or 4 strings below it muted to give it that percussive sound. Another example of muting is in the riff to Warehouse, in which the strings not played are heavily muted. It takes some practice, but it pays off in that you learn to control what notes you want to play.

Thanks a lot for the info. How would the muting work if he is just hitting the D string without hitting on a fret: i.e. LIOG: after the open D chord 4--2 then the D string is hit alone then comes 2--4.

Thanks again! I wish they had a dvd out to learn his strumming.

Well, he doesn't use muting on every note he plays. If you've ever seen Dave play you know he's constantly moving his picking hand, so there's bound to be muting in almost everything he plays. Maybe that's something you could do to get more of that 'Dave' feel: keep moving your picking hand up and down. I'll up an mp3 of LIOG slowed down, just a sec...
