guitar question... moving the thumb on the stone

Post by 2steppin2-41 »

I was just wondering if anyone moves their thumb while playing the first part on the stone or do you keep it planted. I have never thought much about it before, but I have the charlie rose show w/dave playing the stone and it looks like he changes position to play the chord. I know it probably doesn't make much difference in the sound, but just curious.
Its cold as hell outside
But our fire is bright
And in your eyes
I can see what is on my mind
You got me wild
Turned around inside
