SEVEN- DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
Off the new album: Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King
Drop D tuning- DADGBE
I'm not even going to bother telling you the rhythmn...because it's quite odd. I advise
listen to this song and know it before you start to learn it. If you know the song,
realize how he plays this. And a bit of advice: when you're playing this, at parts
want to pause, but he never really pauses during the song...which is why the rhythm is so weird.
