[Sort Of A Protest Song]

I know this may sound a little mean and uncalled for, but the guy doing some of these "videos" of the tabs of dave songs... guy c'mon you honestly cannot tell me that some of those songs are correct. I mean, listen to some of that shit. I dont feel like listing all the ones that are wrong but here's a little tip for you: Buy a Tablature Book

Well then at least give us a couple of examples. I'm curious to see which ones in particular you're talking about.

[Sort Of A Protest Song]

You said the books are 100% accurate. Sort of...Look at The Stone for example. The dumb book tells you to play it with open strings and some how you're supposed to get the same muting sound as Dave? Come on, I have seen videos negating numerous fingerings at fret positions those books offer.

that doesn't make any sense, you can play the D with the open fourth string and still have it sound the same. i do it all the time

You're right; technically they are the same, but you'd be hard pressed to get that "Dave" muting-type sound using open strings. At least that's what I've experienced anyway.

i've had no problem with it, i do it both ways and they can sound the same

har har, what makes you think that i can't?

You can't play The Stone using open strings and getting it to sound like Dave does.

[filmdude100cms]

You'd think that with 13 years of guitar experience, you'd realize that you don't have to play by the book.

its not actually 13 years of guitar experience if he's from alabama

13 years of guitar in alabama=1.75 years of real experience

hey now... we arent all that bad... oh wait... hes from montgomery? oh hell hes an idiot.

don't take that as an insult to your playing. but an open string ESPECIALLY on that song, does not fit the pattern you need to use with muting to get it sound like dave.

of course it's the same note, but the effect is much different

[waffle_house_jam]

Whether or not the note is the same, this site is dedicated to tabbing songs the way Dave plays them. I have the L@LC book and it certainly isn't better than the tabs on this site.

i dont see how, considering that the muting is done with the right hand and not the left. its not like the song uses some sort of magical technique to get it to sound the way it does. anyway, believe me or not if you want to, but i CAN make them sound the exact same.

As far as I know The Stone isn't palm muted a whole hell of a lot. My muting sounds come from strumming through most of the strings and making it so only one rings at a time.

exactly

we're not trying to piss you off or anything. but this is getting really redundant. point is, if you care so badly to prove that you can make them sound the same, just post a recording of both ways, and i guarantee we'll pick out which one is which.

and you dont need recording equipment to do it. use a crappy mic that came with your comp. or borrow one. put it in a crappy windows recorder and post it up.

i'm not trying to be confrontational, just giving you an option. because a recording is the only way to see. and as said above, the goal of the tabs on this site are to show the way dave plays it. that's it. play them however you want.

[sfmartins]

I have the L@LC book and use it only for Tim's parts... For Dave's parts this site is the best.

[czech]

hahahaha, this retard thinks that dave is in anyway related to those tab books?

they are probably released by Cherry Lane and have nothing to do witht he bands themselves. maybe their management signes over the OK for the artwork and music to be transcribed, but Dave never tabbed any of it, nor submitted his tabs or sheet music for any of it.

it is just what some hack quasi proffessional deducts.

and you are talkign a lot of shit for someone who has posted nothing. absolutely nothing.

your thread sucks, your arguement here sucks, and seeing ass how you are form alabama I am left to assume your life sucks.

go die in a church fire.

"Dave Matthews Band - Before these crowded streets: Guitar and vocal"
"Dave and Tim - Live at luther college"
- both excellent tab books that are 100% accurate

anyways. I posted this because i saw some people expressing difficulty playing dave songs in "the hardest song to play discussion".
the problem isnt you, its the tab.

play on - sorry video guy, somebody had to call you out. no hard feelings

hey, what's it like to kiss your own ass? does it hurt to bend that way?

you've got no room or right to talk as much shit as you just did. if i were you i'd extend an apology to the owner of the site and then i'd waddle off with my tail between my legs. seriously, can you fit through a door?
