[spokaloo88]

you are awesome man.  How is your illness going?

[assortedfish]

how can you play the riff? not just the chords, what you played at the end.

[dianne405]

thanks this was great very helpful!

[Brian52363]

The open D sounds better to me ,the chorus sounded GREAT.keep jammin,peace..You should try I confess.?

[RedBallMovies]

you can just play the chords in standard tuning and it sounds just as good

[tglola]

Thank you you instruxcion was very helpful top me.

[shuddrbugg]

Yay!!!!!

[MikeMindful]

much harder than i had thought

[tglola]

Hey thanks for that, onwe of my fave tunes..

[sushirabbit]

This helped me. But after watching dave, I think the riff part is played on the "b" string closer to the neck. This gives you the "high D " drone of the bottom string. Also after watching him, I tried flipping my guitar, and it sounds like he just plays the bar on the "lower" strings. I figured out I can bar the just the top 3-4 strings either using all finger tips or really arching my fingers. looks like you this in part of it, just thoiught it might help someone else.

[dropkickradio]

i wish the riff part were tabbed out, a little tricky to see around the fingers and hard to mentally picture in the strange open tuning

[vonhasselbach]

Sorry about the camera angle. This was one of my first videos. I've since learned to film at different angle so the fingers are easier to see. Sorry about the lack of tabs. I don't do tabs.

[gretscher]

Thanks for sharing this. I figured out the chord progression but it never really sounded right. I didn't know of the open D tuning and the way it was really played. I'd never figure that out myself. Thanks so much.

[danno321s]

I think Dave came up with the this tuning by accident. Then he just played around with different fingers for a D-A-G progression to get certain ringing sounds (the beauty of open tunings).

[hufnmouth]

He actually got the idea from the Velvet Underground. It's how they tuned.

[danno321s]

except that dave's tuning has a "mistake" as he tuned to D A D A A D. This is why no one can easily figure out how to play the song so it sounds with that ringing.

[promothus]

tabs tabs tabs lol

[ninelivecat]

Hey man you nailed it Nice One Skank

[mweems]

Sounds great! Is the riff tabbed out anywhere?

[xynaxis]

6th string to D6

3rd string to A4

?

[vonhasselbach]

Sorry, but I don't quite understand your question. Are you asking for the specific pitches for each note?

[vonhasselbach]

Yes, he plays upside down. That makes it hard to decipher some of his fingerings. In the YouTube video, he just does the raw chords without the little D(addE) chord that brightens up the record version of the song. And I'm pretty sure he does bar the fifth fret to make a G chord.

[sleestack]

Actually, he plays his guitar upside down as a lefty. Look up

"dave wakeling save it for later acoustic"

[sleestack]

Look at the video on YT, he isn't barring any frets. Im not sure you got it right.

[DRG1939]

Id agree with you on this...Im a drummer but you're right. Wakeling does not play bar chordson this song. As evident by this video I guess you could do it this way..but it does flow like the original

[rockrudysteady]

Thanx so lot, to learn me one of my favorite song
