hey yall...the very first "chords" 9-9,10-10,9-8-

ok...is this part a slide or a hammer-on? I have always played it as a hammer-on, but I cant really get it....so if anyone knows, let me know...

Jared, you have the video, so does he really slide his middle finger up to the 10th frets, or is it a hammer-on with his ring finger?

"DO WHAT YOU THINK SOUNDS THE BEST"

Sorry, isn't that what we're supposed to say? I'm checking the 3/29/03 DVD right now...be with you in a second.

It's definitely a slide. Also, I don't think he just uses his thumb for all the chords. I think he plucks the strings: bass note with the thumb, and the next two strings of the power chord with the first and second finger.

yea, I always wondered about that too billy...good call...

so does he slide with just his middle finger or his ring and middle fingers?

also, on the video, do you see the "high" E being played? that was another debate on here a while ago...

Actually, the video quality is very bad. Literally, the only thing I can for sure decipher is that it is indeed a slide. From the very poor looks of it, he is sliding one finger over the whole fret, but that is like 10% sure

. I always play the high E, but like you debated, it could be Tim playing it.

ok cool...maybe kanter can make the final analysis on the song being played with more than just the thumb. Also, I tried to slide with my ring finger and my middle finger and it seemed to work pretty good, but who knows with that little Dave.

Yeah, I'm not sure if he has that same DVD, but it is easy to tell that he is plucking those notes. But that slide, you can only even see the very first slide, and it is shaky. And then for the rest of the intro you can't even see Dave. I can't complain about any sort of Dave and Tim DVD, but damn...

yea, thats bullshit that there are only shitty D&T shows out there(that I know of at least).

I just signed up for another one on AntsMarching.org, I think it was 3.5.03...so maybe that one will be better.

Ok, correction. I believe that the way it is on the site is correct. The very first position Dave makes with his fingers is the fingers 2, 3 and 4 on the G, B and E strings. So I believe that the tab Jared has is good.

what about the other fingers being used during the song, index/middle...

Oh, that part I am still sure about. He doesnt just use his thumb, it's all three fingers picking each string.

I have been playing the intro with only the g and b strings. I guess I never checked the tab here. I was at the 3/29/03 show, and it was definitely a slide. I need to get my hands on some of the DVD's you guys speak of. Also, its definitely a "thumb=>bass note" and fingers one and two for the other strings...and I usually slap in between.....Pluck...slap...pluck...slap...its a cool song....
