Evan Sherman plays "David Bowie" by Phish

One of my favorite Phish tunes. It took me forever to build up the courage to try to learn it, but I finally did. Most of the tabs I looked up were wrong in many spots, so I did a lot by ear, using the tabs when I could. I'm not sure if the positions I am playing in is exactly where Trey does it, but all the notes are there.

Here is a decent take of me playing along to the recording.

I'm playing a PRS SE Semi-hollow straight into my Presonus Firepod interface. Using Logic Express and the Guitar Rig plug-in. I thought it mocks Trey's clean compressed tone pretty well.

Let me know what you think!

LOL I would not even know where to start to learn that shit by ear...And i'd look at the tabs and give up even faster. Nice one!!!!!!!!!!!!

@autumn23 Nope the control cavity is at the back ala gibson style guitars, there's no scratch plate mounted electronics iirc.

Very nice, very nice indeed ,Phish should hire you !!!

[autumn23]

Quick question about your PRS. Is there a control cavity underneath the pickguard, or is it just for aesthetics?

Sick dude. Awesome job.

[phildd0t]

Courage to learn it? Don't let what other people think stop you from learning music. Fuck what people think.
