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 only thing i can say is just listen to as many different versions of either d+t or dave solo cause he switches it up a lot. after learning a few different ways my hand just picked it up and now i can play it like three different ways.

ok, here it is. i decided to do a recording cause i don't feel like sitting there for an hour typing everything out. also, i'm not very skilled with the recording stuff, so i just recorded it and converted it to mp3, and i don't have a good mic, just a $5 one from walmart or something.

please excuse my singing, bedcause i can't. i figure it might help you if you want to learn to sing it.

i also added the chorus, cause you didn't mention if you did or did not need help.

any more help just hit me up on AIM : snidley926

bai

i'd say kurts thing might help you a bit, but it isn't quite how dave does it, when dave does it his right hand is just about always moving in an eighth note pattern, if i had a mic here at school i'd make you a clip of how dave would do it
