ok ive read a lot of posts about how people make grey street sound better while playing solo on a 6 string, but im just wondering how dave plays it when he plays it with tim b/c to me it sounds like hes playing it the same way he does on the 12 string, i also dont hear the muting in the verse part of the song when he plays it on the 6 string

dave always plays it the same way on a 6 as he does on a 12. there is muting in there most of the time, to keep the rythm..

i believe you can lower the high e string to a d. dave doesn't do this but it does make the chords sound a little fuller.

(i'm sure this is what it was...i can't remember if this is exact or not but it does involve detuning a string)

At the same time it gives it that Dashboard Confessional sound...which i hate. If you're fast enough, you can play the full chords...but its kinda hard to change that fast and still make it sound good...though its possible. I think it sounds best muting and playing the two finger chord and let the D ring in the middle. Its not as full, but i think it sounds best.

I drone the D-String throughout

This is how I like to play it. Although it really helps if you have some Elixirs on, just a warning.

Code: Select all

Verse
E:----------------------------------
B:----------------------------------
G:-7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-0---(0)-(0)--3---(0)-(0)--3--(0)-
A:-x----5---7---x----5---7---x---5--
E:-7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--

quick question:
what do the parentesis mean?

usually those mean that you can play that note if you want to, but it's not required.

Tim plays the full chords...but tim is fast enough. i can do it that way but like the sound that dave plays.
