stay or leave for open mic...

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

stay or leave for open mic...

Unread post by wood » Sat Oct 11, 2003 12:08 am

Hey - I used to post on the boards at the "old" DMBTABS a long time ago, but have been hovering over this new site and these boards for a while now - nice job Jkanter...it kicks your old site's ass..

I also wanted to throw in that I appreciate the lack of digs that show up on these boards - everyone seems ready and willing to help out with whatever anyone decides to ask about - very cool!

Well - besides all this -
I used to do some open mic nights at a local java joint here, doing some dave covers - (41, rapunzel, howie day, and - *gasp* John Mayer (before the poppy stuff came out) - but I haven't done one for a while..

Anyway, since Some Devil came out, I can't stop listening to it, and have been thinking about doing a cover of it for open mic night. My question is is this...I have looked at some tabs and figured out a pretty good version, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to make the song sound a bit fuller, etc.

Just fishing for ideas..

Thanks for any input, and once again, I love this board - good job getting rid of the riff-raff quickly, and helping out!

PEECE - wood :twisted:

*by howie day, I meant his version of 41...*

(unless dave actually wrote a song called "howie day", and I covered it without realizing it... *pop* (sound of another Sudwerk cracking open))

sorry about that - wood :shock:

i don't know, for some reason when i play the standard version of the song, im only hitting like 3 strings at a time but they are the right ones to make it sound kinda full i guess. there really is no way to do it w/ one guitar unless you barre everything, and that hurts after a while. sorry im of no help :(

good luck though

i'm playing stay or leave at an acoustic night at my school, along with some other songs. i think it sound better if you have an amp and put on a little bit of reverb and echo, it sounds like it is on the D&T some devil one.
