Goo Goo Dolls - “Slide”
February 14th, 2008 by Matt Sayar
My current project is to learn how to play “Slide” by the Goo Goo Dolls.
To play, you need a capo on the first fret. You can find a pretty good tab for it here. The strumming pattern is weird; I can’t quite figure it out. I noticed that strumming DUD/UDUDDU (Down Up Down, Pause, Up Down Up Down Down Up) while playing with a few chords like Cadd9, A7sus4, D, etc. actually sounds pretty decent. It won’t pass for the original under scrutiny, but if you’re playing for friends (or a special girl), then it’s just fine.

Just say no to capo, unless you’re tuned down a step :)
But capos are so useful!
What I’m getting at is that I don’t generally like music that requires a capo. Personal preference, I know, but I still like to take friendly pot shots at them.
