hey, i have most of blower's daughter down, i got the tab off of this site, and its mostly accurate, actually its completely accurate, but on some of the tab says to use bar chords on modulation (the F#, B.Lala, wich i basically a B barred, G#m, C#, D#m, B, A#m) does anyone know how to play those like damien does without barring them, cause i watched the dvd and he doesnt bar it and it makes sense cuase barring on an acoustic while playing softly does not go good together, so if anyone has the tab to those chords itd be great to know, thanks a lot...=TBone

basically, play the bar chord in the same position without the bar, the majority of the chords used are in the key of E major so they fit with some open strings. Give it a try, it sounds awesome x

He uses his thumb for barre purposes all the time and often leaves the first and sometimes the second string open, hammering on on the third and fourth.

I made a point of learning to use my thumb after the first time i saw damien play, it's very valuable to me now, i wouldn't be able to play without it.
