easy way to play DDTW

Post by rollmebackagain »

this way is a little different but it still sounds really good...easier too

Code: Select all

Intro/Fill/Verse
E--------------
B----3---------
G----2---------
D----0---------
A--------------
E--------------
for the intro just hit the open D string more - its
an octave up but it sounds ok

"And as you go..."
E--------------
B----3---------
G----0---------
D----0---------
A--------------
E----3---------

"All I can say..."
E--------------
B----------3---
G----4-----0---
D----4-----0---
A----2---------
E----------3---

I dont think the song really needs to be simplified, its already really easy to play. That and like the other people said, the D chord isnt to powerful.

You play it in standard, there is an open low e (tuned to d) so it wont even sound the same to begin with. Do you know how easy it is to tune to drop D? Just put your finger on the 7th fret on the low e string, hit that and the a string back and forth and tune your low e down till it matches the open A. It takes like 2 seconds and then you can play it the "right" way
