Satellite question

Unread post by erikro » Mon Jan 12, 2004 9:44 pm

On the tab it reads to use fingers 1,2,4. I find it easier to use fingers1,3,4. How does everyone else play it?

Thanks
Erik

You may think using 1 3 4 for it is easier now, but it'll only cause problems in my opinion..

I use 1,2,4 and i can hold all the notes at the same time, but I don't in satellite. I also use 1,2,4 for warehouse, and I hold all three notes at the begining of that.

I am curious what problems I may have later on if I use fingers 1,3,4 now?
Thanks

You won't necessairly have any problems by using the 3rd instead of 2nd finger now. The chord shapes and finger positions on the site are given to show a way that is both similar to Dave's style of playing and allow other fingers to be in the right positions to mute strings, etc. May songs can be played with different fingerings, and won't sound any different from Dave's way. If the 1,3,4 works best for you, then go for it, but dont forget to practice streatching with 1,2,4 also so you can use all your fingers just as easily.
