If your guitar is tuned properly it sounds the same

If thats what is most comfortable for you, then go ahead and play it that way.

Haha.

I hate playing it that way. The normal was is much easier to get to sound percussively, but to each his own.

I don't see how the 0-0 to 2-3-2 on separate strings is even doable to sound close to what is right.

They are the same notes, just not the way Dave plays them.

I know that, I meant like it'll be hard to get the right rhythm...

Its very easy; much easier to get it to sound right when you first start playing rather than having to practice 100000x

But I agree that playing it the real way will help you much more than this; the real version makes you stretch it which is useful for Dave songs

im kinda impartial on the whole play exactly like dave thing, first of all because i do my best to play every song the right way but secondly, because i remember what it was like learning to play guitar. When i frist started out songs like ants marching seemed difficult as well as the stretch on billies. JUST PRACTICE, the songs are wriiten the way they are for a reason, after awhile songs like Billies become easier to play just from muscle memory. PRACTICE!!!!!
