General question about two chords....mainly for jkanter...

On most of the tabs for songs, the standard chords for dave seem like they are missing notes. For example:

A: xx222x

E: x221xx

Does dave really not hit the open notes, like the open A and high E strings for the A chord, and all the open strings for the E chord? How do you tell by watching the videos? I'm not that worried about it, I am just curious.

Honestly, I'm not fully positive if he hits those notes. I'm assuming that those things are just distinguised by the player. If you play an A chord...your usually going to hit that open A string unless you REALLY don't want to. As for what Dave does, eh, not really sure....I guess it depends on the song. I just put down what he frets(in those cases I guess)

the root note's a pretty serious thing to lift out...like that E form would be more of a B the way it's tabbed when it's really meant to be an E

ok then.....if any of you want to go through all my tabs and leave me a PM with tabs that I left the root note out....I'll go change it.

I guess one way you could look at it is if he plays the A chord by barring the fret with his first finger, then the open E pretty much CANT ring, just because of the placement of the hand. the other way, with fingers 1,2,3, that note probably rings

Well, I know I'm new here, but I can barre the A chord with my index finger and get the high E to ring. I'm sure if I can do it, Dave can do it...

yeah the low A and Low E of these chords are played in 90% of the cases I'm sure. I really doesn't hurt to play the extra notes - ya know, the standard chords. but with Dave is not all about the notes but the manner in which they're played. percussive slapps, palm muting or what have you.
