Unread post by micahpants » Sun Nov 16, 2003 7:49 pm

just out of curiosity, I am the only one that finds the verse of tripping billies the hardest part of the song?Im talking about the we were above part. also, I want to thank you guys because of your work and general respect for what we are doing. I just found this site recently but I think that it is congruent with dave message. thanks again

I would suggest the tab above for the verse. It's the same notes on a different string to make things a LOT easier. same sound. less strain. Sure it's not how dave plays it. but it makes it sooo much easier.

WOodman, your tab is ok too, but it doesn't flow so well when you're playing

mmm. thats funny. i never even thought about moving the 4/5 up. its a breeze now but when learning it, i may have used the 9/10.

I think it flows just fine. here's a link to download it of me playing it with the 9/10. Yeah, I can play it both ways also, it just saves my wrist a bit of pain. :)
