ive been trying to play this song off and on for a while. is this how its actually played.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/a/a ... ay_tab.htm

if so, its reeeeeeally awkward for me. id really like to learn it. does anyone have some suggestions for more convenient finger positioning. im sure a video from someone who can play it would be too much to ask but that would sure be awesome.

i haven't learned this song before, but my advise is NOT to trust shitty tab sites like that. what you need to do is get a 2nd opinion or 10 from other sites, and compile a tab that seems right to you. better yet, get a program that can slow down the song, and tab it out by ear. it will be way more accurate.

i'll look at this song later today when i get home from work.

ohh, i actually think i did learn this song a long time ago. i can't find the mp3 of it, so i'm playing it based on memory. but i do have some pointers.

Code: Select all

E:------------------------------2---
B:--10h12p10--7--5h7p5--2--2h3--3---
G:--11h12p11--7--6h7p6--2--2h4------
D:----------------------------------
A:----------------------------------
E:----------------------------------

that looks about right. i'm downloading a video now, so i'll be able to see.

heres how i play it. i use fingers 1 and 2 for the 10 and 11. use 3 and 4 for the hammer to 12. now, here 's the trick: use 3 and 4 for the 7 part. now your hand is in position to do the 56h77 part in the same formation as the one before. then i bar the 2's with my pointer and hammer on the 3 and 4 with my fingers 2 and 3.

yeah, this is a tough song, you just need to practice.

i'm getting the video from emule. i don't think its done yet. emule takes forever to download stuff. when/if i ever get it, i'll post it
