When the world ends, strumming?

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.

the verse is alot like "Cry Freedom(credit to ranting thespian) ) only with a faster more slappy percussive strumming pattern maybe a small switch with a chord or so. Once you get dave's style you'll understand just about all his music, except the one's he covers which still mirror his style.
Play on :D

I really just kept listening to the D&T bootlegs and came up with my own pattern that may or may not be perfect. I just make sure to accent the bass notes first and then strum the full chords.

Practice and improvisation is they key to a cover song , imagine if Dave played Watchtower the original way , it wouldn't be half as cool :)
