Ants Marching Jam

[MKnight1254]

When Boyd is tearing up Ants Marching during the jam and you look at Dave he's playing something and i've tried all sorts of chords and figure out what hes strumming. DMBTabs.com didn't have it either...any help?

[cutigerbtf]

got a video or audio reference- specific show?

I know in vh1 with tim- he just hits the D's and G's and just mutes everything and keeps a rhythm w/ Tim.

welt everytime i see it live (folsom field maybe) you always like hear a little guitar part during boyd's jam...if you listen to any live recording of it you'll hear it

[RyanPollice]

maybe playing chords that are the same as anyone seen the bridge, dave likes to just mess around with those a lot during jams

like:

5
5
5
4
5

or

12
12
12
11
12

[greppson]

slide into different d and g chords...

like:

9>10
9>10
9>10
X>XX
9>10
X>XX

or

X>X
X>X
6>7
6>7
4>5
X>X

I do that and it works well.

during the intro, when carter is doing drums and there is BUM BUM sliiiiide down by stefan and dave this is what I use:

X>X
X>X
10>11
11>12
X>X
9>10

then slide down the neck holding the second chord.

I usually just play barre chords for that (9th fret and 10th fret). That works, too.

Jared, or anyone else helping me out, the only recording of the song live right now is from the Hartford show on 8/30/03. the part which i'm looking for is from 3:18 to 4:10. you can obviously hear dave playing something in there and thats what im looking for
