Chords!

[DaVeS_gUiTaR41]

Does anyone here know any DMB chords that aren't in tablature? I cannot read tabs but I'd really like some Dave chords... I have a list of songs I want to learn... anyways...

tabs and so hard. They take some time to be able to read it fast, but basically its this: from the top down, its the high e string to the low e string. the numbers mean what fret it is. here's a tab of an A chord:

---0---
---2---
---2---
---2---
---0---
---x--


here's a tab of a "Dave" A chord which is used in Captain, among others.

---x--
---x--
---6--
---2--
---4--
---5--

the x means the string is muted or not played.

a lot of times he just mutes the D string on this chord form, and plays this like in Say Goodbye

---x--
---x--
---6--
---x--
---4--
---5--

dave uses octave chords a lot which are just two the same notes that are an octave apart: here's an A octave:

---x--
---x--
---x--
---7--
---x--
---5--

this chord is strummed hard to get the volume but the other strings are muted so they don't sound out.

hope this helps at all

---x---
---x---
---5---
---3---
---2---
---5---

x
x
5
2
3
5

I love this chord too.

I like the add9 chords. They're simple, but I like their sound. Basic structure:

e -----
G -----
B -----
D --9--
A --7--
E --5--

(you can move it around on the neck, just keep that finger position)

Dave uses it quite a bit. Examples: So Much to Say, Minarets, Raven, #34, etc.

Well thanks guys!
Even though I'm still like what the heck! I think I understand tabs a little more though so thank you!

I believe that is an Asus.

Danielle,

You're not trying to read the tabs while playing, are you? It's not like reading music. At least, not for me. I read the tab, practice the chords/licks, etc., then put the tabs away.

I'm not sure how to show you 'dave' chords w/o tabbing it out. I guess short of showing you in person.

There are good tab guides out there. Check 'em out and in no time you'll have it down!

Another thing....

Give this a look over:

http://www.geocities.com/ericwormann/HowToReadGuitarTab.html

then once you get tabs down, go to: www.dmbtabs.com and there's a link on the right called Dave Style Lessons (or something close). That's the best way to show you how to do it.

Also, jkanter has put a lot of videos up to show you how to do it. www.dmbtabs.com that's where it's at!

actually the Aadd9 might be more accurate, or I believe it may be an Asus2, since it incorporates the root, 5th, and 2nd (or 9th).

Hell whatever its called...who cares. Play it
