Trippin Billies Verse

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.

Trippin Billies Verse

Post by Mykoal »

I can easily go through it, it's just that my timing is off.
I was wondering if the 4/5 on the G is played twice.
And is the 8 on the low E supposed to bend. I think
the 4/5 is where I end up passing Dave on the recording.
Wondering if anyone can help me out. Thanks guys.

just hold the 8 on the low E for a little longer, thats prolly what it is. Its hard to tell how dave plays that part from audio so get the VH1 storytellers video, that should help a lot...

Yeah, I usually hold the 8 a lil bit before I do the 4/5, and continue to hold the 8 while I do the slide. Hope that helps.

Exactly what Mr. Speeny said here. Hold the 8 on the Low E, and do the 4/5 slide whlie holding the 8 still. It can be a little difficult at first, but you'll get it ;-)

Exactly what I do. I hit the 8, hold it while I hit the 4/5 slide.

That would make sense seeing that they are both C notes(the 8 on the e and the 5 on the G). Thanks guys. Ill work on it...

I don't hold it, but I do rest and palm mute their, which sounds great in keep with the percussive sound. Either way works, I suppose.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.
