LIOG recappin

[SPOTLIGHT5584]

Ok so I have been playing LIOGs i finally can mute and hit single notes better with the "dave strum" heh. What Im confused with is the chorus where it is
E:-2-------------------------------------
B:-3------------------1-------------------
G:-2--------2---------2--0h2--0-----------
D:-0--2--4-----4--0---2----------4--2--4--
A:----------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------
1 4 1 4 (1) 4 1 4

how do u go about hitting a zero...mute strings below it? or just do a single pick at the note instead of strum? and my last question is during the fast jam....can anyone tell me the strumming pattern for when dave speeds it up? or is all down up down up down strums?[/code]

well to answer your first question, the only thing you strum is the chords, all the notes in between are controlled downstrokes that hit one string.

I dont touch strumming pattern questions, just listen to a dave & tim version of the song

[Appfro]

yea. dave is a nice mix of mute and control. and parts like that you just have to have enough control to only hit the notes you want to hit. for all of the single notes i only use downstrokes. don't know if that's what dave does or not

i have to believe he does, i think his right hand moves too much to alternate pick that and its definitely not strummed

i just no it doesnt sound right sumtimes cuz when i do my downstrokes i may still be hitting more than the string but since its muted it still sounds sumwhat good i just cant comprehend how daves right hand can flow so well and only hit one string....

[Easy E]

its all about angling your approach so it sharply comes down on one string

[SPOTLIGHT5584]

any help with a good angle for it?

[Easy E]

uhhh, a not flat angle, and practice

[SPOTLIGHT5584]

lol i play it for atleast 2 hours outa every day lol ive only been playing guitar a year i still suck

[Easy E]

if you suck then why expect to be able to play it right? think about that one

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

well personally, i play the D then slide from the 2nd to the 4th, and then play the Am and then this
(the / is a hammer on)

b----0/2/0/2-----2----------
G--------------4----4--------


if that makes ANY sense at all...

[SPOTLIGHT5584]

umm ok i dont expect to be amazing at it thats why i play it 2 hours a day...thats why i ask questions in here...and i do suck but im good enuf to play a couple dave songs but im nowhere near as good as most of the people on this site.

i was just fucking with you, just work on big downstrokes from a sharp angle that hit only one string, practice doing it on each string

[SPOTLIGHT5584]

i know im fucking stoned excuse my language....im a lil frustated but itll be allright

[SPOTLIGHT5584]

and when we talk about angles here do u mean like angle the pick so its kinda sideways so ur not strokeing strings with the tip but more like part of the side? if that made any sense
