Idea of You tab

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

The posted tabs will definitely sound off in the correct tuning. Adjust those chords to be played in that tuning and it should work.

Yea, it's the same thing (D tuning). I just tried it and it doesn't sound bad.
You have a raised B guitar? Do you use it for something other than DM songs??

My friend left on a mormon mission to ukraine and since his guitar was just gonna get dusty in his room, he let me "take care" of it for two years. He and I used to jam Dave and Tim stuff all the time. He said to keep it as an extra for raised B stuff.

It's been in raised B since he left. It's nice to have around. I've fooled around trying to write my own stuff on it, but with my little knowledge of music theory, I suck.
Welcome to the club. 16.000 km apart, same problems!:D

That aside, it's really cool that you have: a raised B guitar AND a friend to play dave and tim with.

Who's dave and who's tim??

Ha, yea man. Gettin psyched for the World Cup down there?

And when we first started 2 years ago, we both sucked pretty bad. He could play Dave's stuff a lot better than I could so I would just add fills from the tabs I found here. After a while though, right before he left in fact, we started to sound pretty good.

Well, practice DOES make better (wouldn't say perfect, but surely better).

And yeah, I possitively believe the world here will come to a HALT during the world cup. Personally: it's driving me fucking crazy, every single tv program on national TV is all over the WC coverage....

I just hope we make it out of first round.

Hey all. Does anybody happen to have, or want to take a stab at a tab for 'roi's solo part at the end? I think it's pretty awesome and was just wondering what people thought about trying to play it on the 6er. Thanks!

Yea there are a few things I missed because I was trying to get the tab out ASAP. Feel free to make corrections.
Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.
