I have been trying to learn the fingering for #41 for some time now, and for some reason, I think I am doing it wrong. Here is what I assume the fingering is like:
Maybe it's just because it's hard for me to make the stretch, but I just want confirmation that this is the correct fingering. One day, I'll be able to play it.
Cool, much appreciated. The first time I saw that stretch, I almost crapped myself, but then again, I was just learning. I am still learning, but can stretch my fingers quite a bit further than I used to. I can reach the 5 with my 3rd finger, but when I do, I mute the 3 OR my fingers slide down a fret. I keep trying everyday, eventually I'll hit it.

Very true. But this song is also a double edged sword.
DO NOT attempt to sing this song for the ladies unless you are sure you can hit those high notes before the second verse, wether it be true or falseto.
If you can't, they will turn to butter right up until your voice cracks 2 octaves below what dave sings, at which point they will laugh at you and find another guitarist.

this is true, i totally agree. i am not much of a singer, so when i sing #41, it's definitely by myself in my car. i just have to learn to sing those notes differently.

welcome aaron. you will get it my friend, oh yes, you will. like they say, practice. and if you want a good one to sing, i'd suggest The Stone, with the Wise Men outro. that is sweet shit.
i have been working lately on singing lover lay down and new coats and new hats (matt nathanson). very sweet songs. i have also been attempting to get granny down, which seems to be coming along quite well.
everyone told me dmb was too hard to start with, but i have come pretty far since starting. i feel if you love the music, it comes naturally.
i guess while i have some attention for right now, i am also curious about the diggin' a ditch tab. is there a fuller version of the tab out there? one that includes the "walk" dave does after the initial tab on here?
ADDITION: you know what, i just found it. i don't remember that being there before... my bad.

i was just about to tell you to just look at it closer, but you got it bro.
First, I have a crappy guitar on the strings are so damn high off the fret board that it would kill my hands
Second, while you are playing the same the way I do, you can learn the song and become comfortable with it while every so often you try to make that stretch
I have tried for months, I just can't get that stretch, so I have to make do with what I have
