Help with "Stay"

Post by myonlybliss »

I started playing stay by strumming a Bb barred chord and while this sounds real close, I see that the tabs only list two of the notes in that bar.

Intro
E:-------------------------------
B:-------------------------------
G:-10\---10---8---7---8---7---8-- <---finger 4(1on 1st 8)
D:-8-\---8----8---5---5---6---6-- <---finger 1
A:-x-----x----x---x---x---x---x--
E:-x-----x----x---x---x---x---x--


So............

how do you only play the 8 and 10? how to mute the other 4 strings? And second off--why do this---the full barre chord sounds fuller, and in my opinion just as good.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also---is this intro using "double stops" and again, if so, why?

use your index on 8 your pnky on 10 and use your middle fingers to mute th first two strings that should do the trick

he doesn't mute that much. He just mutes the two strings around the fretted string (except for palm mutes, of course).

Or you could get a video camera and make one. I would, if my video camera would work properly with my computer.

Can anyone do a video of the jam in Stay? or is it included in this video? I seem to stumble on that part.
