Sister - Dave Matthews Band
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ryan Venegas
Email: RVenegas2@gmail.com
Tuning: Raised B tuning. Can also be played in double drop D tuning using a capo on the
fret.
Listen to the song to get a more accurate picking and strumming pattern for chords like
in the chorus. My own interpretation is at the bottom of the tab which i feel is fairly
Let notes ring out, especially when hitting a "bass note" before playing chords in the
and chorus parts. If you listen to the song you will hear what i am talking about.
Finger 3 is held on string 2 for intro and verse and fingers 1 and 4 are used for main
hammer ons (0h2h4)
Anyways here's the tab, let me know what you think by leaving me some comments and a rating.
Thanks!
Intro: 1-2x - Guitar Only

Not all parts of the song have this picking pattern so listen to the song to find out
parts do.
Rallentando - gradually slowing tempo
Nice Tab! I've been playing Dave for years and this is a good one. Hey man, keep rolling out those Dave Matthews tabs!
Nice job on this tab. I've been playing Dave for years, and you did a great job man. I'm not good at making tabs so
