raven 'breakdown' question

[mac4140]

the 4th chord in the breakdown just doesn't do it for me...anybody else feel this way...i trust jkanter that he tabs what dave plays, but is that 4th chord right?

the 4th chord in...
----------------
----------------
-2--2--9--9---
-----------x---
-x--x--x--7---
-1--3--8------

should it be 7x-7 or anything else...or is it right the way it is...any insight appreciated....peace

sounds ok to me, but i didnt compare it to the song i just played what you typed out.

[mboz12]

i feel the same way..when i play it i just dont think it is right...i dont have my guitar on me though to try the 7xx7..
peace

I agree with you, it doesn't sound right to me either, but I think you're not supposed to play them as chords, but like this:

-------------------
-------------------
-2--2----9----9--
-------------------
-x--x-------------
-1--3--8---7-----

But I'm not sure if that's right either, I think it sounds better than plaing them as chords, but I'm not positive.

I don't have my guitar with me at the moment, but this seems like the most logical answer.....

[fraggle]

It is definatly correct! If you continue on with the song, it fits, if you play JUST that it sounds a little off.

Just my opinion

[MattyTrane]

yay someone agrees with me

[gcom007]

I think it's just X7XXXX or maybe 07XXXX...I'll listen to benaroya later, the new phish cd was leaked, much more important to listen to that at this point...

sorry i should've wrote 'notes' instead of chord...i know how to play it...the 7 on the E string just sounds terrible...

[gravedigger]

no it doesn't, man. Listen to it. The solo show on 10-24-02 is a good example. it's right.

ha my fault...i posted 7th on the E string...meant A string...i'm right with you guys...i think it should be 7x-7 instead of -7x9 like jkanter has the site...sorry for the confusion

[gravedigger]

I thought that maybe you meant the 7 on the A string. Kanter fixed that, though.
