Granny Mistake

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Granny Mistake

Unread post by Doron Diamond » Mon Mar 31, 2003 12:43 am

My friend swears that the Granny tabs are this site are wrong. She claims it's a million times easier to just start with a D Chord, and then hammer on the High E string and slide up, instead of starting higher up on the neck where it's harder. Two questions: Doesn anyone even know what the hell I'm talking about?;) Second question, is this true? And if it is, does this make it official that dave sometimes makes things harder than it should be, or is the site wrong? Thanks!

first of all, it's a she...that should tell you something....second of all, look at listener supported as it is very obvious that dave plays it like it is on this site...there IS a difference in the sound of just a d chord and the wway dave plays it, that only a person that really appreciates dave matthews is gonna hear...Dave never makes things harder than they should be...it's always for a reason, always(for the reason here, it is that you get a fuller sound as you are hitting an extra string)....and that's what makes him the greatest songwriter of all time....peace!

(adam raises his hand in agreement with jason)

i totally agree, dave does it for a reason,
different ways are out there, but, dave knows what he is doing,
jason can tend to be a little blunt and straight to the point, but
i wont hold that against him at all, cuz he is right nearly every time,
and i have heard his shit, and he is a great player, so take his advice anyone novice out there, and you will get somewhere, he knows what he is talking about, even when he may be blunt, respect the posts cuz they are right

MY 100th POST!!!!, and let me tell you, i would have many more if i would have been able to use the boards for the months they didnt work cuz of my browser, i switched browsers, and it worked, so i started posting, i cant even imagine all the times i wanted to post and wasnt able to...

peace

The chords are right on this website but that doesn't mean you can't play it that way.(D)

mboz12, lets hear some more about you, how long have you been playing, are you gonna post some stuff for us, where are you from so maybe someone can jam with you, i would love to jam with a girl who could play dave...

i saw this one girl in a store trying grace is gone, not bad, but not good, thats all i've ever seen...

so, if you dont mind, how bout a little information, its interesting to me knowing that there is a good dave player who is a female
