Play high E flat on granny

On the granny tabs it shows, E---------------------------------------
B--5h7---5--3/5---5---3--------------
G--7-7---7--2/4---4---2--------------
D--7-7---7-----------------------------
A---------------------------------------
E------------------------------3---2---x
But I've seen Dave play it many times very close up and if you play and listen to dave you will see for sure that on the 577,777 he plays the high E string flat,It just makes it sound so much better and fuller like this,
E--0-0----0-----------------------------
B--5h7---5--3/5---5---3--------------
G--7-7---7--2/4---4---2--------------
D--7-7---7-----------------------------
A----------------------------------------
E-------------------------------3---2---x Try It Both Ways And Listen To L@LC
You'll see

I have a mandolin. It's hard for me to play it, because my fingers are just a tad to big for it. I wish they would make the neck wider. Oh well.

do you always play on the mandolin?

I don't think he meant that he played Granny on the Mandolin, if that's what you were thinkin.

But I could be wrong..

actually i meant does he ever play a normal guitar, but then i realized how dumb of a question that was so just forget it.

I play a little mandolin. The neck and frets are pretty damn tiny. And to sound good you have to have really agile fingers.

man looking at that tab, it looks like that's the hard way to play it (the first way i mean) i learned how to play it the second way from the Luther College tab book. see fatjack, im a pro tab book reader.

EDIT: i didn't mean pro as in professional, i meant pro as in for it.

with the open e string flat, granny sounds terrible. I don't know what you're talking about.
