PNP Question

Unread post by serialwired » Fri Aug 19, 2005 11:04 am

Hey ya'll

I have a question about the tab for PNP on the site here. It says above the main part of the tab that the 3rd to last chord (the A) in the video is wrong but correct in the tab. Personally, when I play PNP I totally skip that A chord. It just doesn't sound right to me.

Does anyone else feel this way? Or if it is correct, is it just a quick transitional chord thing?

Im not sure I ever played that A - chord in the song. I don't have a guitar with me to check it out either.

i played it without the A for over a year, then one day i realized there was supposed to be the A. i didnt even realize cause it sounded fine without it. i think both ways work

I totally agree with you. The only reason I would ever go to the A chord is if I accidently can't hit the next one in time. I think it's there as a sort of quick transition chord or something, but I dont think it should be there at all

Well...the A-chord does belong there(from what I remember all the video's being as). Technically you don't need to play it there but it makes it sound right.

Here I will explain...parenthesis show chord I am talking about FROM THE END(4 is 4th from right).
What Dave is doing there is he goes from the 0-0(6) to 3-3(5). He is going to higher notes. Then he goes from 2-2-3-3(4) to 2-2-2(3). He is going to lower notes there. Then he goes frmo 2-x-x-2-3(2) to G-chord(1). Which is going up to higher notes. If you listen, it actually does make a difference in hearing how it runs along with the sax of the song and keeping the running idea of switching up the melody throughout the song.

EDIT: It's def tough to explain but it 100% fits in there

i play a D chord cuz i like how it sounds. i don't disagree in the fact that it belongs there, dont get me wrong, cuz it does belong. but for whatever reason I like a D instead of A. People ive played for like it anyway, even after i told them it is the wrong chord they said they liked it like that.

Oh wow, no I was talking about the wrong thing. The A chord needs to be there for sure, I can't play it without it and playing it with a D is weird, what needs to be removed is the -22x00 chord in the tab, I never do that, I go straight to the -22x33 one.
