Don't Drink The Water Tab Wrong?

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.

Don't Drink The Water Tab Wrong?

Post by charliemike »

Sorry for the big picture ... I don't have Photoshop working on this PC ...

Dave plays this chord during the "Yes I will call this home" line in the Central Park Concert ... I was looking at the tab and I don't see anything that looks like

--6
--5
--5
--7
--x
--x

Am I misreading something? I just want to get the song right. Thanks.[/img]

I'm not sure he's playing the 6th on the E. He may be muting.

ha...just play it with the 6 to see how it sounds...sounds great right? jk...anyway, good eye bro, but I think that his finger is just hovering over the 6 by .000000000000000000000000000001 of a millimeter.

Hehe I did and it sounded like ass :)

Muting makes more sense but with drop-D it sounds okay w/o muting.

Thanks guys

His finger is over the 6th though. It's obvious.

Dave has strange hands.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

And it's such bullshit that they won't let him play certain parts of songs sometimes.

Yeah, he plays it 5557xx, my hands take the same shape as Dave's does when he makes that style chord, and I think that maybe something wrong with my hands, but I don't mind it anymore ;-) And 6557xx does sound like shit :lol:
