nope, that's about it, the best way to play like dave is to play w/ dave.

i know that, but i cant get the fast motion with just my fingers, utterly impossible, otherwise i can play it perfectly

i really don't have any advice for getting faster...and i know this sounds crappy, but practice. sorry there isn't really anything better. are you alternate picking w/ your strumming hand? cause if you are, it takes a while to get it synched w/ your left hand.

that comes with practice.

get a metronome, or tap your foot, or just do anything that consists of starting out slow then speed up.

play it incredibly slow until you hit every now perfectly, then speed up, making sure everything's correct. eventually you'll get it.

that's how i learn a lot of my songs. i don't play it perfectly to tempo the first time through.

persistance and patience are great things when it comes to playing guitar, but mayhaps not women.

it just sounds so off, those 4 notes, sounds like something's missing. i can play it perfectly slow and fast, hitting the notes and such, but it still doesn't sound like 3/29/03

3/29? were you in boone? or do you just have the cd set? that's where i go to school. anyway, yea i actually play the tab to that song, so its right.

i just have the CD, i want to go to college at chapel hill...im a junior in highschool now. would you be able to send me a clip of the 5454 real quick? like start slow then speed up to see if im missing something?

Well, if you really listen to the record, someone...either Dave or Tim, throws in another 5 in there. Listen for it... That might be the thing you are talking about. If so, it is played Exactly like The Stone.

Dave plays it this way on 3/29. Trust me, just listen to it!

Match it up with The Stone strumming pattern

Code: Select all

Drive In, Drive Out
E:----------------------     
B:----------------------
G:---------------------- 
D:----5--4--------------
A:----------5-5--4-5-4--
E:-5--------------------

G:----2-----------------
D:-------3--5-5--2-3-2--
A:-5--------------------

Jared, I suggest reevaluating your tab for this....listen to 3.29.03...it's pretty apparent in that live version.

yeah, that does sound right. oh, and that wasn't my tab. that was the tab kanter gave under DIDO. thanks for the clip, it cleared things up. i knew something was missing from his tab.
