Dude, it's on the site... play 4 on A 5 times, and then finish the rest of the verse. Don't skip anything, it's how he does it on Storytellers. Not hard...

Crash doesn't give me any problems as far as stretching. Now warehouse kills my thumb, after playing the song a couple of times my thumb is going numb(I know I am squeezing too hard with my thumb).

Couldn't agree 100% more...and your 3rd and 4th finger are stationary throughout 90% of the song...how could it be difficult?

if you havent played for long, then it would probably be pretty hard. After learning all the other dave stretches, that one is cake.

I think people are wondering how Tim plays "in a boy's dream..." .. just hold the chord and use your index finger to hamer the 1st & 2nd strings on the 2nd fret ;) sounds just like what Timmy is playing...

My friend and I jammed on Crash for about 15 minutes, plus the song itself, so 20+ minutes at an open mic. We had some guest violinists, banjoists and such, so it was cool, and people liked it.

If I had to estimate, I'd say I could play Crash for over an hour. It's not hard in the slightest.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.
