The maker

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.

Its a great song to play , the way you might wanna try it which is how Dave did it during the D&T Tour 2003 , is like so :

Code: Select all

Intro/Fill/Outro
E:----
B:----
G:-2--
D:-3--
A:-3--
E:-1--


Verse
E:-1------1----------
B:-3------3---1------
G:-2------2---0---2--
D:------------2---3--
A:------------3---3--
E:----------------1--


Chorus
E:----------------------------------
B:-3-----1-----------3-----3-----1--
G:-3-----0-----2-----3-----3-----0--
D:-3-----2-----3-----3-----3-----2--
A:-1-----3-----3-----1-----1-----3--
E:-------------1--------------------
I have a video from the D&T Tour 2003 where he plays it like this:

Code: Select all

Intro/Fill/Outro
E:----
B:----
G:----
D:-3--
A:-x--
E:-1--


Verse
E:-1------1----------
B:-3------3---1------
G:-2------2---0------
D:------------2---3--
A:------------3---x--
E:----------------1--


Chorus
E:----------------------------------
B:-------1-----------------------1--
G:-3-----0-----2-----3-----3-----0--
D:-3-----2-----3-----3-----3-----2--
A:-1-----3-----3-----1-----1-----3--
E:-------------1--------------------
This is the way i play it :

Code: Select all

Intro/Fill/Outro
E:----
B:----
G:-2--

Hey man, thanks dude. That actually helped out alot. Atleast it put it into a chord sort of style, it was that whole slide stuff that was throwing me off. I can actually play a decent version of it now. Many thanks :)

Anytime :lol:

I honestly don't think that Dave plays the riff anymore , he is becoming more lazy lol , Tim does the slides now and Dave handles chords instead , atleast thats what he does on the video i have

When I play it, I mix up the riff with the chords to add a little variation.
Does Dave play it on an electric on LiC? Or is it just timmy and that mitch rutman dude.

I was wondering how do you strum and get those notes in the riff for the maker, do u bar the note behind it, because you only want to play those two notes. If not how do u mute the other ones you hit during strumming

Just mute the adjacent strings with the sides of your fingers

Those tabs are great... but I have a question... what kind of strumming pattern are you using? On all of the versions of "The Maker" that I have, all I can hear are the slides. A little help on strumming on these tabs would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Its so weird to hear the main part come through, In the LiC version you can't hear a damn thing.

Well, in the Mpegs of LiC webcast, I hear dave's guitar come through clearly.

Also, the guitar he uses at LiC, were 2 black chets, one downtuned for Last Stop. That's it.
