question about blue water tab?

On the blue water tab after you play the 2nd fret on the a string then you move to the d string and slide from 2 to 4 and back to 2 do you play the 4th fret note or do you just slide up and then back down to 2? i know this is kind of confusing sorry. thanks

dont hit the 4, just slide from the 2 to the 4 then back to the 2. its all in one pick - 2/4\2.

i read this thread and thought, wow i haven't played that song i a while an so i put on the song and look up the tab and now i remember why, two chords can only entertain for soo long. funny how dave can make anything sound great and entertaining at the same time.

I play this song quite a bit, but I don't focus on the guitar, I focus on the lyrics. It's about suicide, and I know a lot about that, so I love to sing it. Also, the sliding and picking stuff, I have heard many differen't versions of the song, and it seems to be more improv, but I bet the vid Jared has, he plays that way. So, just fool around, is what I say. Of course, it is just the chords when the lyrics start.

You can MAKE this song really fun to play. Fill out the chords a bit, add in some fills, play with the time signature... its simple nature provides GREAT room for expansion!

RT, the song that does that for me is Wallflower off of Peter Gabriel's third release and first "titled" release Security.

It hurts to hear that song, but it also helps heal. Thought I might share.

Peace,
