grace is gone

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.

Me also.
I love the song but there isn't enough movement in it, i figured out the intro and I pretty much just wing it with the rest of the song. Its a really easy song to play compared to all of dave's older stuff.

I actually think it's difficult because of all of the variations...

If you're talking about on the studio album thingy, it's in Open D (D-A-D-F#-A-D). Can someone verify this?

i did an acoustic version of the song in the same timing as the original on the busted stuff album, its a lot slower than what he normally plays acoustic. if you have a tab and cant play it this may help you hear the guitar better. i recommend using just your fingers and no pick.
