How the crap do you play last stop without your fingers squeeking on the strings like crazy?!?!
Even with polyweb coated elixirs they still squeek like crazy

hmm.. don't slide your hand as much.. try and lighten up when moving.. it should reduce finger squeek.. i don't get it even when I just slide and i use polyweb strings.. *shrug*

however good last stop might sound good when dave plays it, i can never get it down, it just seems like shooting in the dark for the right fret. I always miss the correct note by a fret or two

i think its like if your hands are dry that particular day, then they might 'squeak' (im assuming you mean that wierd noise when you slide on the wound strings)

sometimes my fingers make taht noise and sometimes they dont
one of those weird things
i never use coated strings

and PDA, just practice, trust me

no one will ever make it sound like dmb anyway. last stop is one of those songs where dave could put his guitar down and it would sound just as good. not really for acoustic one person groups.

get some flat wire strings. They are much smoother, and you really can't hear any squeaking. I use them sometimes. I know Gibson makes them, not sure who else does.

Also, dave obviously slides, and doesn't lift his fingers completley of the strings. I can do it, and it sounds too sticato. I am sure he has his arangments on his Line 6 POD (I knew he was playing playing through one at some time recently, it said it on the main site at one time). If not the pod (I have a pod pro in my rack, love it) he must have some other effect to get rid of it.

oh, and if you listen to timmy, even on his albums, you can hear his strings squeaking.

tim is a big fan of having the recording and his live sound be just like sitting in front of him without any mics or pickups involved.. so to him, the squeaking of string and all that "miscalleneous" sound is ideal. I happen to agree. Others and most sound engineers making major albums these days would disagree and they compress and EQ the hell out of an acoustic get rid of all the "natural" character.. even on stage it is the case with any major act, anymore
