Trippin' Billies Improved verse

Post by dmfollower »

ok, what up? i just worked in this little add-on to the verse of billies. on the second go-around of the verse, instead of ending with the 2x02-3x04, end with harmonics on 5th-upper strings to 7th-lower strings(think typical). if you nail those harms. correctly it should totally sound like the song.

"Smoke my mind, makes me feel better for a long time"
"They called it Aspen because "buttpencil" was already taken."

I'll try that when I get home.

I like to do Boyd's little staccato A before going into the verse. Just took quick pulls on the high e and B, fifth fret.
