You Never Know help

Code: Select all

"All Fall Down"
The video doesn't perfectly represent the tab, I had changed the 3rd chord after I made the video...it gives a general idea of everything though
E:-8------8-------------1--
B:-x------7------7------1-- <---
G:-9------x------9------2-- <---3on9
D:-10-----9------8------3-- <---3on10(2on9, 1on8)
A:-------------------------
E:-------------------------  
I'm confused about this part, because it says the video is wrong, and the 3rd chord was changed, but the second chord doesn't look like what is being played in the video either....what's up?

i think the most important part to get with that section is the bass notes....
which are D-Db-C-G

well, the bass notes are fine, but with the wrong high notes it can sound like crap...so anyone have any thing that will help me out?

for the first three chords, try hold this shape and just changing the bass notes (not relative to capo)

e: 10
b: 10
g: 11
d: (bass note)
a: X
e: X

Is that the way Dave plays it?

does it matter? i'm talking about the standard version with the capo on the 2nd fret (because that's what's you put up there)

Yeah I'm talking about the standard version with the capo, but it looked like you were making up chords that would sound close, I just want to know the closest to the way Dave plays it, even though he uses the raised tuning. I guess the only one that could probably answer my question is kanter.

I can't answer any questions on that right now. That part was a BITCH to put anything to. I essentially just translated all parts from Raised B to Standard. That part just came out bad because of the high E. I do need to fix it and should do that sometime. When I get home, I'll play around with it

You aren't going to get anything that is "the way dave plays it" because you aren't even playing in the tuning that dave plays it with.. so give up and go with what sounds right, it's all that matters in the end.

Yeah, I get it, but I want to have it as close as possible. What "matters in the end" is that since I haven't seen a video of Dave playing it, I posted a thread asking a simple question, not an invite for stupid tough guy posts.
