Ants!!!

Alright, I think I wanna do ants for my talent show bit for at least one of my songs. And I was thinking since I'm doing this solo, I'll want to give it a more full feel.

Anyways, I was listening to the D&T version, and I noticed that it sounded a bit different.

Code: Select all

Verse

E-2--x-x-x-----------------3--x-x-x-----------------
B-3--x-x-x-----------------0--x-x-x-----------------
G-2--x-x-x-----------------0--x-x-x-----------------
D-0--x-x-x------4-----4-0--0--x-x-x------5-----5\7--
A-----------4\5---4\5------2---------4\5---4\5------
E--------------------------3------------------------
            (2) 1 (2) 1              (1) 2 (1) (2)

Sounded more like:

Code: Select all

Verse

E-2--x-x-x-----------------3--x-x-x-----------------
B-3--x-x-x-----------------0--x-x-x-----------------
G-2--x-x-x-----------------0--x-x-x-----------------
D-0--x-x-x------4-----4-0--0--x-x-x------5-----5-0--
A-----------4\5-5-4\5-5----2---------4\5-5-4\5-5----
E-----------x---x-x---x----3---------x---x-x---x------
            (2) 1 (2) 1              (1) 2 (1) (2)

I dunno, try it out. Hell even if it isn't how Dave plays it, it might add something.

actualy, from what I've seen, dave plays it 320003 more than 320033. I always play it 320033, though, because it sonds fuller and brighter.

I can't form that chord fast enough, but that's how its done on storytellers, and the only time I think I've seen it like that.

Keep also in mind that on L@LC dave and tim play the same part for the first verse.

Yeah, but there's definitely a muting sound going on as well.

Yeah, and its called percussive strumming. Do what you feel sounds best.

I always play my G that way, no matter what song. It was the way I was taught, and I just can't seem to break the habit. Like Ranting said, I think it sounds fuller and brighter. But doesn't Dave play the G the other way on all his songs? I know for sure he does on Big Eyed Fish, because of the FF DVD.
