The Stone transistion

Unread post by nugsta25 » Wed Feb 18, 2004 7:47 pm

At the end of the Stone when the transition is played, it gets a lot faster. I tried playing the same notes just strumming "double speed" I guess you could say, but i just doesn't sound right. Any pointers? By the way, Hi to yall. Ive been checkin out this site for about 3 months now, well since I got my guitar which was around Christmas time. I never really knew the boards were here. I've found a lot of useful stuff so far and plan on being a regular. Any help on this Stone situation is appreciated. See yall!! :D

hey hey, welcome mon ami!!

but anyway, i think your refering to the charlie rose video, whee he does that kool strumming thing along with the transition, i dont thnk you need to change the pace you play, i just mute the other 4 strings and strum while playing the transition at the same pace.

yes i know this probably didnt help, im terrible at explaining things online, but i thought maybe i would give it a go and see if i could help

and again welcome to the boards, cant say it enough

Ok, well, one problem. How can I mute while strumming and using all 4 left hand fingers?

yeah with the stone you don't change the speed of the notes, you just strum really fast :)

i would recommend learning "warehouse" first, i wasn't able to play the ending to the stone correctly untill i gave up, moved on to warehouse, and then came back to it :)

Ok good. Muting the unused strings and strumming fast does it. Sounds perfect, thanks yall!

no dude i know what ur talking about...at the end of full DMB shows they change up the timing..kinda like how it is on the 5-6-7-8 5-6-7-8 runs during drive in, drive out..i havent figured it out yet tho....but on the charlie rose dont change the timing of ur fingers, just ur pick...on full band shows tho..something else is up...

I think I know what your talking about

If your talking about the very last part of the stone, after the "wise men" part. It's not touble time. The time stays the same, its just a matter of playing the same note twice. Kind of like warehouse. Basically, your strumming one string at a time hitting both the up and down of it. You don't have to mute anything when you get better with your pick control.

you're talkin about something different... nugsta was talking about what he does on the radio station show, he plays the ending a lot harder, like warehouse which someone said... he doesn't play it this way on the charlie rose show

Yeah, after playing with it for about a week I figured to too hit each note twice with down up strokes. It sounds perfect now. Thanks for all your help guys. Where would I be now without dmbtabs.com?? :D
