I don't think that JM plays it that way except for maybe the CD version of it. I could be wrong though...I wish I could play it too!

Well I cant even get it to sound like the cd version. The notes seem all over the place when the music on the cd sounds like only a few notes. Anyone have an alternate tab if this one is wrong? And if it is right then a video or audio of it.

He uses a funky ass pedal that he made his own custom setting on that song, so pretty much nobody can recreate it. I don't know of any other way to try either, so I gave up with it. Browse the boards at jmtabs.com to see if there is anything on it...that's the only thing that I know of that may help!

i play it like...ok, you know the E chord that Hendrix uses for Foxy Lady, it's like that, but you ring finger and pinky are switched round. your ring finger goes one sting down and your pinky goes one sting up....if that makes ANY sense what-so-ever...

the tab on jmtabs.com, i think, is pretty close/good.

He uses an adrenalinn (a beat sync'ed filter effect, amp modeling, and drum machine) to get the sound. I think he uses some type of chord arppegiator with delay setting the adrenalinn has, or a setting you can create with the arenalinn

I get what you mean, but still, where the hell did that come from. The kid wants a video of someone playing it so he can watch and learn.
