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.

Hey guys, I know how the song is played but I want YOUR way of playing the intro... the 4/5 4/5 G... then 4/5 4/5 D part....
4 4 5 5/7
Which fingers do you use for the 4/5 4or5 slide?... I'm trying to find the easiest possible way and would like for some opinions, thanks.

Ants Marching, there's no go.
after D use the middle to slide, index on 4
after G use index to slide, middle on 5, middle 5\7
it's how dave does it.

Yeah, that's a different song altogether. And not even a DMB one.

That's interesting, I never thought of trying that.
I play D 4-5 with middle, 4 pointer, repeat --00--
G 4-5 middle, 5 ring finger repeat --00--
I don't know if that is the best way, but that's how I play.

"All the little Ants go marching"
Not the name of the song, but in there none the less.

I use both hammer-ons and slides. Here's how I do it:
After the D:
--------4-------4---
----4h5----4h5---
After the G:
--------5-----5---
----4/5---4/5---
Kinda weird, but yeah, I like it.

Depends on my mood. If I want to play it laid back I'll slide. If i'm playing it...hard...and... .... .... with alot of bounce i'll hammer.
