What i want for Xmas or TGiving

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.

Here is a little clip i made real quick on a crappy guitar with a crappy mic. I'm pretty sure this is the way dave plays it. I have a video of him and tim playing it and i can match up with him perfectly. I tried to slow it down for you at the end of the clip. Hope it helps some.

read the song wrong, sorry. It said x-mas in the title, and I read it fast, and I read x-mas, so I thought he meant x-mas song, ignore my post
