It's not in 3-4, sir. It's in 12-8 or 6-8 ;). Well, technically all three of those signatures can be considered equivalent, but with the phrasing, tempo, and melody, it has mostly* a 12-8 feel. Then, the bridge/chorus ("Winter's cold, Spring erases...") has a 6-4 feel. I would like to ask Dave and Carter what signature they had intended it to be in.

[SteveHacker]

@sweetlikeADAM LOL! That's funny.Whether it's in 3/4,6/8,12/8,or for that matter,96/128,hardly matters,since what the beginner(the targeted audience)needs to take away from this video is the fact that it is a TRIPLE meter,as opposed to a DUPLE meter,and I have seen SO many "not get" the triple meter feel of this.I'd venture a bet that Dave didn't give a rip what the actual meter & mathematical phrasing came out to be.Songwriting SELDOM works that way.You write a GOOD SONG.You ANALYZE it LATER.

@SteveHacker Everything you say is true, my friend. I just like being a music theory snob sometimes lol. Good luck in your musical endeavors.

[SteveHacker]

@sweetlikeADAM Thanks! You too! Yeah, my first music degree was in theory because I enjoyed being a "theory nerd"...LOL :P Classical piano and guitar performance were next, and I enjoyed these a great deal, but I really enjoyed the analysis process of theory :)

HINT for non sliding method:

try playing the 3rd note of the sequence on the G string 3rd fret. you have to skip a string but once you get it it is a lot faster because there is no position changing

[SteveHacker]

LOL...Barb...It's not really a position change though, however, going to an open 3rd string is a TONAL CHANGE. See Dave Matthews' non-slide rendition. No open strings. Some times it's not about easy of playing, but rather consistency of tone. Another case in point, I see people screw up "Crazy Train" by Ozzy a LOT by using open strings, when in fact there should be NO open strings in that very famous lick. Tone is Tops. The world is full of mis-voiced licks...lol...Thanks though :-)

[Apostolmcqueen]

nice man, thank you, I will like to learn the chords

[JDubSantos]

Good stuff! But I'm a little confused. I don't know where to play the second set of chords you showed (A, CM, D, E, BM, A I don't know if those are the correct chords). Could you please tell me when to play those?

[fiesta181]

Dude you are the shit!

Thanks for the excellent lesson. I must say that I already knew the main riff. It was taught to me more like an exercise and I can play both versions too (i though one of them was wrong or less accurate). But I never had learn the chorus and specially the strumming...

5 starts

[watchman001]

@mjdesantos yeah, i compare it to running through tires and tripping all over the tires

"It's a great finger exercise"

Haha! Thanks so much for this video :)
