Tripping Billies Help!

darrow · Post by **darrow** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:13 pm

Hey guys, let me say this I'm not a noob at guitar, I've got six years of experience but I can't seem to get Tripping Billies down, I thought I had it but I just got myself into a bad habit of playing it wrong rhythm wise. I also can't find a video on this site of how to play it.

Can anyone help?

Also did anyone here go to the 06/13/06 show in Toronto? Such a good show.

i have covered a version here in this topic, if helps you...
my advice is to watch the videos, or try to find someone that already plays it, to explain you

personally, i use all down strokes and include and extra note to keep the rhythm-i hit the open D and G strings after the slide 4/5 and also two muted downstrokes before 2 4 at the end of the verse.

2 3
hope this made sense.

also the every slide except the 4/5 is a grace note

what do u mean by grace note?

A grace note is a really fast note played right before another one. It's like a scoop on a wind instrument.

Grace note? There aren't any grace notes in TB. A 1/16th note is different from a grace note.

I like playing them as grace notes, it feels smoother.
