more tripping billies...

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.

more tripping billies...

Post by goalten106 »

question:

how many of you add a 7 on the A after playing the 8~~~~ on the low E in the first "half" of the verse progression on tripping billies?

i.e.

--------------------------
--------------------------
-------------4/5---------
--------------------------
--------7----------------
---8~~~~~~~~----- etc. etc.

the tab on this site omits that note, but i think it sounds better (tougher to play though :? ). what are your thoughts? do you guys play that note or not?

That's been a big discussion on these boards for a while. I choose to omit it from the tab because I had never heard it when I created the tab. As I listened to some more versions, I did realize that it was there sometimes....but I didn't hear it that often. It could go up on the tab in parenthesis I guess....personally I don't really play it

Yah, I like the sound of that beautiful note...nothing like the A string (except the G string...j/k!).

yep, i play that as well, but i play something else that makes it twice as easy. instead of the 4/5 on the g string, i do 9/10 on the fourth string. word!
