stone question

[sk8r]

sry guys but this is a dumb question....why does dave stone tab have a 5 on the a string rather then an open d. I find it much easier to play with the open obviously....but i wanna know what the advantage is to the 5.

And i know thats how dave plays it so another reason would be cool

[GuitarGuy305]

I play it with an open D string, and it does not ring. I palm mute it.

The tab is that way because that is the way Dave plays it, this is Dave Matthews Band tab page, figure it out

people like me? shut the fuck up dude, the whole reason this site is as popular as it is is because it shows people exactly how dave plays it, its the fucking draw of it. If i wanted to play tripping billies with open chords i'd go elsewhere. You totally misunderstood me. I don't suck on Dave's nuts, I was just pointing out the point of this site

chill man, i dont wanna fight here. I wasnt implying anything with the ppl like you thing. just saying i figured someone would say it. and i understand the site is here because thats how dave plays it and i love the site for that but dave plays it that way for a reason and i wanted to know what the reason was thats all. So i wasnt asking why the tab was that way so much as i was asking why its played that way. Sorry about the confusion. Lets not fight cause i'm in to peaceful of a mood

I was gonna harp on you too but then I realized what you meant by it.
Yes, mutage is right, I am just learning this song right now and it seems like it keeps a consistancy throughout all of the transitions as well.

And eze, when he said peple liek you he meant black people. don't take that shit!!!

Oh No he di'nit, its on now!!!!

I actualy find it more boring to play with open strings for the stone. The way Dave plays it is more challenging and I enjoy more challenging riffs, so I play it dave's way (except when playing it solo to someone, I like to just fade out with the chorus and not do the bridge at the end).

for the end jam variation, i cant figure out why dave would play the same note, the C(10th fret A string, and 5 fret D string), in 2 differnt spots. also, is the end jam variation on the CD version? if so, what point does it come in? i cant here it

Theres not much difference, but its easier to play with the note on the 8th fret, D string.

[i-am-me]

i like the variation cause i like sliding around. especially going back to the 8. i love that slide all the way up the string.

Playing a note open and playing it on 5 may be the same note but I dont think the tone is always exactly on. Also, if you play it open it might ring out for too long or something. Almost 100% of the time, if Im playing a Dave song I play it the exact way Dave plays it, it just tends to sound more perfect if its played the same way he does.
