STAY!!

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.

Hmm...I´ve had some trouble with this song too..
The secret for me, is the beat...
I play it like this..

Code: Select all

E:-------------------------------
B:-------------------------------
G:-10\---10---8---7---8---7---8-- <---finger 4(1on 1st 8)
D:-8-\---8----8---5---5---6---6-- <---finger 1
A:-x-----x----x---x---x---x---x--
E:-x-----x----x---x---x---x---x--
   du    u    u   u   ud  ud  ud

The letters means how you hit the chord, d=down u=up
The important thing here is to hit the chords upwards on the middle part, when i learned this I solved my muting problem....

Hope this helps...

It helped me get the rythm to keep my right hand constantly in motion. After a while you'll get the hang of when to and when not to hit the strings with your pick...

As for muting, I still can't use my third finger and I sometimes get a little tone out ouf the muted strings. However, my second finger mutes prety well on its own. So overall its not to bad. Dave will sometimes play the jam while all out strumming, so practice muting wile playing the single notes on the jam, it helped me with muting the verse...
Thanks CP, i'm gonna try to start playing along with some CDs and see how i can improve. Thanks for the tip.
np...btw DVD's are also great investments...the Listener Supported and Folsom Field DVD's have great versions of Stay...
