Solsbury Hill 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.

Solsbury Hill Tab

Post by DMB3401 »

Since this song is obviously gonna get some playing time this tour, i decided to look for a nice tab of it for everyone. I think this one will help anyone out who wants to play it.

Don't bother trying to figure it out from the audio.......unless you make guitar chords from the bass notes or based on what Tim/Trey played

DAVE PLAYED NOTHING ON ANY COVER....He actually did play something very lightly during Up On Cripple Creek.....but that's it. Dave SANG ONLY during that song. NOW, of course they are still great songs and you can learn them from other tab sites...but Dave stood there, guitar in hand, and played nothing.

i dont find it odd at all, there are three guitars up there after all. dave knows his place as the least talented up there

It's a habit of mine, especially since I know quite a bit of theory.

im in the middle of making a tab for this song based on the recording, even though i know dave played nothing... but im listening to both the D+F version and the Peter Gabriel version. I've got the intro and verse, but I'm having trouble with the chorus... if anyone can help that would be great. I'm tabbing with a capo on the 4th fret and i think it could involve a D and a Cmaj7 but I need some help if anyone could do that and I can get this tab up ASAP
