may be a dumb question..

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.

He's right. Sometimes this is referred to as letting the note ring out. But yeah just hold that note while u play the next one.

I haven't checked the site but i know that sometimes dave will hit a 7 on the A string right after the 8, and that is the way i play it. Its like a step from the 8 to the 7. If you hit it in the rhythm(i never spell that right) you'll see how it fits. As far as just playing the 8~ i will give it just a bit of a bend if your not playing the 7.
