Dave Matthews
"Some Devil"
Tab by: Mike McDonald
This is my first tab but I am sure it is acurate. I got it off the MTV2 interview.
It's an acustic version so it sounds a little different than the "Some Devil"
version. It's a very weird rythm. I think it's some sort of eigths or something.
He'll hit the bass note and do a rapid studder on the other strings. Sometimes
muted. It's funky, you have to play with it but it's a lot of fun once you get
into it. Riffs 2 and 3 slow to a normal rythm just like the "Some Devil" version.
Standard tuning.
You'll have to listen to pick up the rythm.

[Riff 3] There's two ways to play this part. 1: the way Dave plays it and 2: the
way people with normal hands, fingers and joints play it. I'll show both but the
I play it with the second way and it sounds fine.
