Sometimes in Drop D

BRAINISDEEP

How do u play "Sometimes" in Drop D tuning?

Convinced he plays it this way because it follows Dead Man in a live boot

Googled but can't find it ...

im pretty sure he plays it in regular EADGBe tuning to be honest.

If u want to play it in Drop D, just play the notes 2 steps up on that string. The rest of it will be the same as in tabs for regular tuning.

Check out Given To Wail for the tab

Thanks for the heads up on Given to Wail - have never seen that website - hopefully they'll have the right tab there . . . Was watching a youtube video where Ed plays sometimes further down on the fretboard. Thought it was in Drop D since it followed DeadMan ... The tab I've seen has the first few notes being played in frets 1 & 2 (ultimate-guitar.com) which sounds a lot different then the way I saw Ed play it .... anyway, thanks again

Cheers!

No problem, ive heard the same thing on the solo shows! he just must be Very quick at changing guitars!

I think (off the top of my head) it opens on the D & G strings...(open on the D and 5th fret on G).
Then the low part is the bottom part of an F chord, pulling off to open on the E intermittently.

Mike & Stone's parts are pretty simple too, just some nice "colouring", nothing drastic.

Edit: Jesus, i just re-read this - im talking gobledeegoop! I assume you've figured it out from the tabs anyway!! lol!

LOL Thanks again, I figured it out from your note and the tabs ! Saw Ed solo twice (NJPAC, Newark, NJ '08 and Tower Theatre '09) , definitely agree he is quick at changing guitars .. either that or I must have looked down to see if I needed a refill !

I saw him play these two back to back recently and he tuned down to drop d in between the songs
