Help with #41 please!

[Khazzam]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to play a decent version of #41 from the tab on this site but haven't quite gotten it sounding right yet. I found a video on youtube of a guy playing it really well and wanted to know if it looks/sounds like he's playing it the same way.

If anyone here has mastered this song yet, please let me know what you think and offer any pointers you might have.

Thanks

Its hard to tell exactly because his hand is blocked most of the time, but I think he is playing it differently because it doesn't quite sound like the tab on the site.

his hand is blocked by the table. The way i mastered this song is looking at the tabs on this website and there are
also a few videos on youtube that show a pretty close
tab to the one we have posted on the site here. here is one

How about the way the verses are played though

Verse

E:------------------------
B:---8-----8-----8-----8--
G:---7-----7-----7-----7--
D:------------------------
A:------------7-----5-----
E:-5----7-----------------
1 2 2 1

When your strumming this is are you supposed to hit only the G and B songs after hittin the base not or are you guys hittin all strings, or muting certain strings, or what?

Personally I hit the bass note and then just hit the G and B strings, but you can strum all the strings as long as you mute them

heres something i found on youtube. He is hitting the bass notes and then the g and b strings. this guy
also posted up some other videos, but they are not exactly what the tabs on this site say. The verse
however he plays on the video below is exactly what the tabs on this site say.

intead of just the

For some reason the way Howie Day covers this song is easier for me. You can probably find the file on any P2P program, and the tab is on his website. Give that a try.
