Grey Street

[GreySt24]

I cant find any tabs on how dave plays grey street? i know the basic tab of it but looking at viedos http://youtube.com/watch?v=zTOc_EdF7As can anyone rig up a tab for that or point me to where i can find it?

[Robby~C]

he plays it the same way its tabbed.

[chr35919]

he plays it the same way its tabbed.actually, all the tab sites i just looked at don't have the way he plays it.

instead of E:----------------------------------
B:----------------------------------
G:-7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
A:-x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
E:-7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--


isn't it this:
E:----------------------------------
B:----------------------------------
G:-7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-9----x---x---4----x---x---4---x--
A:-x----5---7---x----5---7---x---5--
E:-7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--

??

[D.M.B]

No, he plays it the way the tab sites say.

[chr35919]

No, he plays it the way the tab sites say.he plays it multiple ways. check out some videos.

edit: and he definitely lets the d string ring sometimes...it's not always muted.

[chr35919]

here's one...if you think he's playing just two strings, you're plain wrong

The second one could not be more wrong, he's just muting the strings with the 2 fingers he's not playing with

[chr35919]

like i said, he definitely lets the d string ring sometimes

[Minarets#40]

E:-----------------------------------
B:-----------------------------------
G:--7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-(0)--(0)-(0)-(0)--(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-
A:--x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
E:--7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--
this is probably a bit more accurate on the way Dave plays it

[D.M.B]

like i said, he definitely lets the d string ring sometimes

yea definatly, he just doesn't use chords like

---
---
-7-
-9-
---
-7-

[GreySt24]

Then what does he do haha we all know and its obvious from the video and other shows that he does not play it 7-7 4-3 6-5 can anyone point me in the right direction.

[TrippinBilliam]

Then what does he do haha we all know and its obvious from the video and other shows that he does not play it 7-7 4-3 6-5 can anyone point me in the right direction.

This right here is the right way to play it 100% without a doubt.

E:-----------------------------------
B:-----------------------------------
G:--7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-(0)--(0)-(0)-(0)--(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-
A:--x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
E:--7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--

[bigeyed_phish]

Yes, this is the right way. The way Dave plays it, his fingerings, make it look like he's playing it a different way, but that is correct.

[Minarets#40]

as far as fingerings, he uses his index and middle fingers as a pair, and he uses his ring finger and pinky as another pair.

pair A: index & middle
pair B: ring & pinky

E:-----------------------------------
B:-----------------------------------
G:--7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-(0)--(0)-(0)-(0)--(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-
A:--x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
E:--7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--
B A B A A B A B

and the chorus is just: Bm, A, D, G

[MGH4007]

here's one...if you think he's playing just two strings, you're plain wrong

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2B-U5J4q2Y0&mode=related&search=

i actually dont know if your right with that one...pretty sure hes only playing it with only two fingers at all times. also, just listen to it

[MGH4007]

isn't it this:
E:----------------------------------
B:----------------------------------
G:-7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-9----x---x---4----x---x---4---x--
A:-x----5---7---x----5---7---x---5--
E:-7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3-- ??

yeah, that doesnt sound right

[chr35919]

yeah, that doesnt sound rightit sounds fine, it may not be what dave plays, but it sounds fine:)

[MGH4007]

it sounds fine, it may not be what dave plays, but it sounds fine:)


:thumbsup, yeah

[Minarets#40]

it sounds fine, it may not be what dave plays, but it sounds fine:)well it's infinitely harder to play than what Dave plays, and it doesn't sound better for sure, so I don't see why anyone would play it that way

[chr35919]

well it's infinitely harder to play than what Dave plays, and it doesn't sound better for sure, so I don't see why anyone would play it that wayit's really easy, what are you talking about?

[Minarets#40]

it's really easy, what are you talking about?it's not THAT easy, but the way Dave plays it is a LOT easier

[chr35919]

it's not THAT easy, but the way Dave plays it is a LOT easieri dunno man, if you can play barre chords, it shouldn't be hard for anyone. but yeah, playing just two strings is always gonna be easier

[Minarets#40]

actually, yeah on second look it's not exactly what I thought it was... I thought the G and A chords were "Dave chords" (like Two Step) and I saw the Bm and F#m chords correctly, which would have involved making pretty major changes pretty quickly.

seeing it the right way, it's easier than I thought, but I still prefer it the correct way :D

[MGH4007]

actually, all the tab sites i just looked at don't have the way he plays it.

instead of
E:----------------------------------
B:----------------------------------
G:-7----4---6---2----4---6---2---4--
D:-x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
A:-x----x---x---x----x---x---x---x--
E:-7----3---5---2----3---5---2---3--


I dont understand the confusion here, this is how he plays it...no other way.

as for the chorus he plays Bm, A, D, and G all the regular style chords.

here's one...if you think he's playing just two strings, you're plain wrong

you're not actually trying to say that he's playing this:

??

in that video, are you?

[comerelaxnow]

he plays the two notes. same ones he uses in Trippin Billies and Too Much and So Damn Lucky and Lie in our Graves and......

[icanfeeltherain]

he also uses a 12 string to play this one, so it sounds much fuller

[Munford]

I play like this which I think is right 7x07xx..

I think that the way he plays it may be causing some confusion. I just use two fingers (index and middle) to play and fly around the fretboard playing it. From the video dave doesn't put as much effort into it. When he hits 3x04 he keeps his index and middle on that and uses his ring and pinky finger to hit
5x06xx.. This might be it but just an observation.

no, thats how its done. A lot easier as well compared to sliding

[DavefaninNZ]

Really? I find sliding easier, but I just don't think it sounds as good.

i think he plays that with timmy, when hes not using the 12 string

[chr35919]

i think he plays that with timmy, when hes not using the 12 string
i knew i wasn't crazy. people have posted something like that before:)

[jiggajm18]

i knew i wasn't crazy. people have posted something like that before:)

:thumbsup

and i think you're right about the open D too. i dont know if he always does it, or even intentionally does it, but on some of the SBDs during that song (when the rest of the band isnt playing), you can clearly hear that string being played.

[nakedguydmb]

i think he plays that with timmy, when hes not using the 12 string
i'd like to see some proof of this, as i've never seen him do this, or heard it.

[downtown10]

Alright I Just Recently Stared Playing Guitar So This Is A Stupid Question How Do I Mute The Strings In The Chours... And What Is The Strumming Pattern On The Chords? Thanks For The Help

[TSilk]

why do you want to mute strings in the chorus considering it's just Bm-A-D-G? If you mean the verse if you place your fingers properly on the Low E and G strings you will mute the A and D strings or if that doesnt work out just use the two fingers not forming the chord to mute the other 2 strings

[Minarets#40]

i think he plays that with timmy, when hes not using the 12 string:ugh

Dave has never played it that way...

[downtown10]

I Was Talkin Bout The Verse My Bad And What Is The Strumming Pattern Of The Chours?

[tdowe99]

:ugh

Dave has never played it that way...

:thumbsup Dave plays with two fingers per chord in the verse on both 6er and 12er.
