k, need some help

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.

k, need some help

Post by filmdude100cms »

OK ive been playing tripping billies for months, in an easier way than the actual dave way. My way sounded close enough that only i knew it wasnt dave's way, but not that i can form the nature into in a second, and have no problems, so ive decided to learn the dave way...
any tips on what to do to help me get this faster?

I played the song a little bit differently when I first started playing, and one day I deceided to learn it the right way...it took all of a few minutes to get down

Uh, play it slower :D
I just played it slower until i could gradually play it at normal speed.

when i first learned it i'd play it in different tempos...i'd start off slow to get your fingers to memorize the correct frets and then i'd go fast and your fingers won't hit the strings all the time...but i guarantee they will learn it.
