hey Ranting Thespian

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.

Alright, here you go (it's instrumental too)

http://www.angelfire.com/folk/singer-so ... e_down.mp3

Dave plays it much more agressivly and uses more muted strings than I do. I played it like that so you can hear the actual notes played more the way I play it, so it should be easier to learn then.

Enjoy.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok for the 4th time since the begining of october, I will post it. Sheesh! I wish JKanter would just put it up on the site! I submitted it in very early spring, and he still hasn't put it up!


here's an ****ACURATE**** tab for Hold Me Up/Down. I have never found any that come close. There is one that is using only the two String thing he does like the chorus of Tripping Billies. My GOD, that is so horrible! The rest I have seen never come close. Here it is:

Code: Select all

-----------------------
 Hold Me Down/Up - DMB

* = Sometimes he slides down
@ = Somtimes he plays this note, sometimes he doesn't, and he might
play it on the A string, seventh fret

he doesn't do the slides
