This one has a very tricky rhythm. As always, I added the times
of when each part comes in. I have tabbed this off Listener Supported Video.
The way he plays the intro and verse he mutes the low E and the B and high E strings. This 
again is a very strange way to play. But then again, it’s Dave Matthews.

The way Dave plays this next part he mutes every string but the one he is hitting. It is 
very weird. 
 
This is palm muted . . .

He double times the above riff at the very end. It's madness!
                                                       
That’s All She Wrote !!
