You Never Know Acoustic Cover

[coolkauf]

[Chris_Norris41]

Damn...very nice! That should be on the Ant's Community CD!

Great job...

[Cap'n]

Hey, if you would be so kind to email me and let me know how exactly you play that song it would be sweet. I have seen a lot of tabs, just nothing real good yet without messing with the tuning.... email me at skinner3@buffalo.edu

Btw - real nice job, sounds real good

[marchingant41]

Very Nice!

[trippingjakey36]

[Rob]

If you have a tab, please do post...

[Mathers420]

[Blaha 41]

i beg of you... ;ljskadfljkdfsa :)

[Rdedeian]

That was pathetic, bloody pathetic.

Sorry that was just my impersonation of Simon from that American Idol show.




Nice job man!!! :multi

[Obsessor Of 41]

thats awesome, but it doesnt sound like a live song. like where did you record it?

[ny55525]

Good job!!!!

I gotta learn how to play guitar

[norkman]

I think i tabbed Justin's version of YNK............. it's over in the musician forum, it plays along with his recording very nicely, and i just played it with the BS version and it sounds good with that too................ so go over there and check it out, it's under "Standard YNK tab (i think)"................... Let me know if yall like it.

and also Justin's version of YNK is rad.............. nicely done man.

Peace,

Wookie

[Joebu33]

That's good stuff brotha man

[coolkauf]

Well this got a bigger response than I had expected considering it was a drunken fluke; I have since recorded it much more cleanly if anyone is at all interested, just IM me at coolkauf. Umm also you should all now go to my website which is now operational www.justinkaufman.com and hear my original songs because I like Dave, and you like Dave, and if I did my math right, that means you're gonna dig these songs. J/k...check it out though ;) Here's your tab...

***
You Never Know
by Dave Matthews

Tabbed by Justin Kaufman (www.justinkaufman.com)

So it seems a lot of people wanted to know how I play this. I have no idea how Dave plays it because I just prefer to figure these things out on my own- keeps the musical gears turning I suppose, but this also means that I haven't a clue how to tab, so this is my 6th tab ever (I just tabbed all my songs on my website which you should head on over to and download songs from now!). Anyhow, this is how I played the cover I posted for those who asked, feel free to make it look more like a tab ought to but you get the idea. The trick is all in the rhythm...

(Standard Tuning)

how the hell did you get a finger on the 1st fret there?

[coolkauf]

haha oops, make that 1 a 7. sorry, im kinda new to the tabbing thing...

[Firedncin8nancy]

haha oooooooooh 7 haha

[Jeffery901]

awesome



wowo thats tough

[bstorey]

That's insanely hard tab

[Obsessor Of 41]

1 to 7 is still hard for me, thats amazing

[Blaha 41]

whoa. 5 to 1 is hard for me. are you made of rubber?

[Obsessor Of 41]

1 to 7 has to be impossible?

[PilotC150]

I think all the high-e string 1's are 7's in Firedncin8nancy question.

[Firedncin8nancy]

yea those impossible #1's on the high e string are all supposed to be 7's.. it was his 1st tab, hewas nervous lol... see above for his clarification

[geekmug]

I don't know about you guys but [x 0 4 9 0 7] is a little hard for me too swallow. And, there is an obvious enharmonic chord for that fingering.. in fact, I fact the verses really hard to swallow.. so I redid them all for small handed fellas like me (credits to justin for the notes):

what do you guys think?

[Rob]

This will be better received here now.

[allfalldown]

I'll tell you what...if you played and sang that at the same time (no tracking) you are a bad mofo. That song is not easy, and the verse isn't exactly simple to sing while playing. Big props to you.

afd

[coolkauf]

Thanks man, it took a little practice ;)
