So it's supposed to keep ringing? Doesn't sound right.

I'm kind of a beginner. What does the second part of your post mean?? :oops:




STFU = .... use your imagination

I always thought that Dave left it ringing most of the time. On Billies, Too Much, Hold Me Up/Down, So Damn Lucky, and other songs with those types of chords, as well as my own, I always let the D string ring, it adds fullness, and the way the chords are played, I think it sounds fine.
