Tripping Billies verse the easy way....

[tomek322]

Please don't flame me for this and come back with "it sound so bad or no slides"... i know it isn't daves way but I play it this way for two reasons... 1 i can play it and 2 i can sing to it... Play it for people that know dave but don't play guitar and it will fly... Disclaimer im trying to learne the proper way but even when i do it would probobly take anotheryear after that to sing to it...
E:--------------------------------------
B:--------------------------------------
G:--------7-----5-----4---------7----2---4--
D:-7-----7-----5-----4-----7---7---x---x
A:-7-----5-----3-----2-----7---5---x---x
E:-5-----x-----x-----x-----5---x---2---3

don't pay attention to the spacing... i took the tab off another song... all barre chors played evenly spaced.... strum mostly down strokes with up storkes on switches play around with it... it'll fly i play it sounds fine obviously not as great as the real way... the bass notes are the same so it's fine.... most people only recognise the last two chords anyways...

whatever works for you is what I say, try just using open chords too, this progression...

A D C Bm A D D/F# G

you can even do Dave's little thing with the C, just hammer 0h1 on the B-string
