Abe Joined: Mar 12, 2008 Posts: 1237 Bay Area	Posted on Aug 09 2008 10:55 AM I would love to help you out Serpico, but I dont have any PDM. Ther cool tho, I've seen them twice. I like ther song "A Flash of Green" and "Teleport..." i forget the number at the end of that title And they have a very cool version of Frank Zappa's "Peaches in Regalia". I think Wooza told me that song was hard, but i'll give it a Go... — The Deadbeats Top

I would love to get my hands on tabs for the Pollo Del Mar-song "Dripping Springs TX", at least the opening riff.. It's not hard to figure out by ear. The tip is to play the open D string in between the hammer-on double-stops. Takes some good dexterity to pull off though (no pun intended) — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11046 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Aug 09 2008 12:09 PM try playing the double stops straight along with the riff, once you find the notes (hint it's in Dminor so start with notes within that chord) then work on the syncopation. I'm sure you'll get it, be persistent. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
Serpico Joined: Dec 30, 2007 Posts: 443 Falun Sweden	Posted on Aug 09 2008 12:49 PM Danny i dont know what a double stop is, listening to the riff it makes me believe it is sweeping. i start play the open d-string and then i play 7th fret on Gstring and then 6th on Bstring and then 5th on the Estring..but i dont know if it is right..and i havent figured out how many notes there is..is it only 3 between each open D string note? hmm..hammer on dubble stops.. — The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier. www.myspace.com/tumbleweedofsurf Top
DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11046 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Aug 09 2008 12:56 PM A double stop is simply playing 2 notes on 2 adjacent strings at the same time, usually in harmony with each other. Think Taco Wagon. I suggest you play the double stops as a tool to help locate the actual notes. Once you do that then play triplets with the open D and the 2 notes in the double stop. Tryi it, you'll like it ;) — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
Serpico Joined: Dec 30, 2007 Posts: 443 Falun Sweden	Posted on Aug 09 2008 03:14 PM wow this is killing my hands..this is what i think how it goes: open dstring, 7 th fret on G, 6th on B and then hammer on to the 10th fret the same string..is it wrong Danny? — The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier. www.myspace.com/tumbleweedofsurf Top

PolloGuitar Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 5090 San Francisco	Posted on Aug 09 2008 06:11 PM I saw the thread, but thought it would be fun for you guys to try and work it out a little bit first. No, I don't believe in torture, but there is something to figuring it out for yourself, and once you do, you won't beieve how simple it is. Serpico asked for a hint, so here are the first 3 notes. `-------- -------- -----14 0-15--- -------- --------` Hope that helps. thanks for being a Pollo Del Mar fan, and if you have any more questions,, please ask! thanks, Ferenc — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top

Using ears over tabs is always better, especially if you're playing in a band. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Last edited: Aug 09, 2008 18:44:55 Top

DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11046 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Aug 09 2008 06:49 PM OK another hint Listen to the rhythm guitar and bass, find the chords (Dm,C,Bb,A). Hear how he's playing along with those chords? OK, did you notice the notes Ferenc tabbed out are D, F and A? Which are the notes in a Dm. Now we know that the D string is played open the whole time, so concentrate on the higher, hammered-on notes. Pick out the 3rd and 5th in the other chords and follow along. Watch for the switch to 1st and 3rd halfway through and before you know it you got it ;) FWIW, I can't play it nearly as fast a Ferenc, it takes a lot of skill. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

Serpico Joined: Dec 30, 2007 Posts: 443 Falun Sweden	Posted on Aug 09 2008 07:23 PM hey i think im getting the hang of this now..but i think its hard to keep up with the pickhand and keeping it muted and clean..any hints about that? upstroke, downstroke? or down down? i have always been terrible with the pickhand.. — The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier. www.myspace.com/tumbleweedofsurf Top
DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11046 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Aug 09 2008 07:27 PM You're trying too hard. You should only pick the open D. The other notes are hammer-ons. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
Serpico Joined: Dec 30, 2007 Posts: 443 Falun Sweden	Posted on Aug 09 2008 07:50 PM i pick the open D then i hammer on same string fret 14 but should i not pick the gstring fret 13? just hammer on it?... — The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier. www.myspace.com/tumbleweedofsurf Top

Pick the open D, hammer on at the 14th fret, then pick the 13th fret on the G string. Practice that motion a hundred times in that position (before you attempt to learn the whole line) to gain some speed and dexterity. — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top
