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. CHORDS G1 F C Am G
