Help with BOWA
Does anyone have an acoustic D+T version of BOWA...I just cant seem to figure out a decent way to play it solo and i would love to hear it without the band. Thanks as always guys.

i'd like one if possible, i kind of gave up on this song cause it doesn't sound very full when i play it solo. so if someone could send me one that would be awesome.

Hello everyone. First time poster here. I've been checking out the boards for the past few weeks and thought I would finally chime in.
I started playing guitar about 10 years ago and the day I bought my first guitar I also bought the tab book of UTTAD. I have learned most of the songs by the books but now that I have found this site I realized that I have learned to play them the hard way. Not to say that the tabs on this site are easier, I know that they are they way Dave actually plays them live, what I mean is that by watching the videos I learned that my fingering was way off and I have learned so many shortcuts that I hadn't figured out before from the books. Does that make sense?
So now I am starting over again from the beginning with the site. The first song I am 'relearning' is BOWA, which leads me to my question... (i know, about time, right?)
I have been listening to the rutebega version of this song as mentioned in this thread. In this version, as he is playing, it sounds like he is slapping the strings to the beat as he plays. It's just a steady cadence but it really adds to the song. I haven't seen a video of him playing it this way and was wondering if anyone here can do this? Any tips for me? I've been trying to practice it this way but it's pretty tough.
Sorry for the long post but wanted to introduce myself and all....
Awesome site!
