Gravedigger strumming

Unread post by lumpi » Fri Apr 02, 2004 3:09 am

I don't have a very good feel for rythm and strumming. Does anybody know how to strum Gravedigger? What's the strumming pattern? I have been listening to the song a lot but I can't make it up myself. Thanks for your help.

what i've found with dave strumming, is that he always keeps his hand moving. he rarely ever stops or changes speed. there were some hard struming songs, like granny or jtr, that i couldn't get for a while, but then i just started stuming at a constant speed, sometimes upstrokes, and the timing of the song just fell into place. hope this helps...

This really helped me figure out the strumming pattern---->http://www.dmbtabs.com/boards/viewtopic ... l+sessions

I think Gravedigger is about halfway through. Hope it helps! :D

Nope, Jared has said that Dave doesn't palm mute at all. I'm finally starting to get the muting down with my left hand... it takes a lot of practice let me tell you ;-) But, no, he does not palm mute.

righto - once you play enough of dave's music, your left hand will do it for you , no thinking, you'll just start muting stuff all over the place - just keep up the practice :D

yes he does 8)


maybe "choking" is a better term than "muting" but SOMETHING besides strumming is going on with his right hand.
