Grey St.?????

[Kukini]

Look at my tab, underneath, I have which directions I'm strumming.

D - Down
U - Up

[Duffman]

yeah, there is an upstroke on the A. like i said, the timing and strumming pattern is still the same.

[Kukini]

I give up.

[Duffman]

Code: Select all

Verse
E:----------------------------------
B:----------------------------------
G:-7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
A:-x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
E:-7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--
   D    D   U   D    D   U   D   U (strum while sliding back to the 7's) 

all i'm saying is there is an extra beat in between the G and A. so ithe strumming pattern is this:

Code: Select all

Verse
E:-------------
B:-------------
G:---4-----6---
D:---x-----x---
A:---x-----x---
E:---3-----5---
     D U D U   

whether you hit the strings during those is up to you.

[Kukini]

Doesn't sound right to me... and I don't see him playing this... so I give up.

[Ranting Thespian]

I strum it more than dave, to fill in the cracks of just playing it solo.

[Kukini]

I don't care, I think it sounds fine my way.

[dmbaddict001]

holy hell i just realized i put the extra stroke in it like Duffman tabbed out. I too find playing songs like billies and GS with the four fingers instead of two, just so much more fun and feels more comfrotable to me

[charliemike]

Again, I think the idea here should not be to mimic him but to get the essence of the song and make it one's own.

Of course it's going to sound similar to Dave but not BE Dave

FORGET ABOUT THE NOTES AND THE STROKES!

You know the song. Close your eyes and use your right hand like you think it should feel.

Your left hand will work.

That's kinda the point.

Left hand seems intimidating. Then you figure that out...except your right hand doesn't seem to work correctly with the left.

Then you start playing the songs...and it all starts making sense.

All of it.

I'm just starting to learn how to play and thought maybe I would try Grey Street. One thing I can't seem to get is the strumming pattern for this song (well not just this one, most). Would it be possible for someone to provide that?? As this is my first post and the fact that I'm relativly new here, I apologize if this type of request is not welcomed....


cheers,

just play the song, if you think too much it just makes everything to difficult, upstrokes and downstrokes dont mean shit, just play the song

[Davy28]

just play the song, if you think too much it just makes everything to difficult, upstrokes and downstrokes dont mean shit, just play the song

thats a good way to put it.

i just figured that out recently i use to completely over analyze everything, now i just play it until it sounds right
