OK who on this board has exceptionally good ears?

I have been playing the new Weezer song Pork and Beans over the weekend and I have it slightly different than anything I've seen on the Internet (which is usually wrong anyway). This might be a good song for beginner's as it's one of the easiest songs I've played, but I like Weezer and it's a fun song.

Anyway most people tabbed it a 1/2 step down but I am playing it a 1/2 step down and then the low E another whole step down so the low E is tuned to Db like the 4th string.

It sounds right to me. If anyone knows let me know.

Here's a link if anyone wants to take a listen. This is Weezer's version not mine.

Well, after listening to the original,
Pork & Beans
I'd say you nailed it.

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

I think you might have misunderstood. I posted the original Weezer version. There's really not that much difference just a little heavier with the E tuned down to Db and the fingerings are slightly different. I just can't tell from the video what note he plays to start.

I don't have my guitar near by so I cannot say what note is what.

Dog,

No that was something I put up for fun, when I created the page. Actually the name came one night when the group of us that gets together every week were trying to think of a band name and we were just throwing out ideas. Gary Drive is where we practice...so I took that and decided to call us The Gary Driver Band

It has my daughter and my wife's music on there but nothing from me..I'm the only one without any talent. Plus I have no way to record anyway.

Well, no wonder you sounded so darn good!
