 		I'm not too up on music tableture. But here's a tab for the song referenced.
http://www.dmbtabs.com/song.php?sid=15

It's not in the format this guy mentions on another DMB song, though.

ETA: Could it be "Satellite"?

It could also be notes, rather than chords - you refer to notes by their octave number on the grand piano. So, an A8 is a VERY high A.


The only problem is, i'm not sure how either chords OR notes will translate into an alphanumeric password, unless we can turn it into a song somehow.


Since I have no clue how to play a piano (It's all about the contrabass for me) I think someone should go do something with that..? I really don't know. That code is evil and I don't know what it means. AGH. </rant>

Yes: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dave-matthews-band/21384.html

Those are the exact chords. Good call!

 		And it appears, that something major has happened.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Steven Died on Tuesday.


I guess he didn't do it.

 		FINALLY!!! Awesome solves you guys. Very Happy

Okay, so wow. Uhh. All I can say is wtf.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
WTF Steve is dead?? And he's been such for a year, not a day. It's 12/19/2006. And let's figure all this out: 3 1 11 2 36 14 3 -1 2 38 23 49 -15 -1


EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Okay, so the picture from Steve's obituary for a year ago has some weird (I'm thinking reversed) text and a pi symbol in the background. This is probably relevant. Can anyone flip the image and enhance the background?

 		Heh.
In a previous life, I used to repair Tactical Satellite (TACSAT) communications equipment.

ETA: FWIW: "LEO" means "Low Earth Orbit" (Not that it has any connection with our earlier maths.)

 		No immediate access to a decent image editor, but from what I can see there are references to Steve and Old MacDonald in the reversed text.

Here's the best I could do with some online tools:

 		So this is what I'm getting from this stuff on the /mail. I'm spoilering it, just in case.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Steve is and has been dead for the past year and one day now. Jeff is obviously living in the present, as are we, as are sni and JB. From the 12/1 mail, it looks like Jeff might be the guinea pig for some kind of experiment that is seemingly enabling him to see and communicate with dead people. Perhaps there was something about the camera that "infected" Jeff? Whatever it is, we have to tell Jeff what's going on. And it seems like sni and/or JB are the one(s) who want to keep Jeff alive for this very reason. What I don't understand is how WE have been communicating with Steve, unless our interaction with Jeff somehow enables this.


Just thinking out loud.

While we're figuring that out miki. What do we tell Jeff?

BTW, there's no way these are chords. There are no "8"s (EVER) and rarely are there "4"s.


ferriwican, You've got some explaining to do.... pal.

 		I just posted to his blog in the comments - I tried not to be too harsh about it.

I have his IM, so if he comes on to talk, i'll be here.

 		Can't you think of a better, more tactful, way to let him know. They were friends.

BTW Oak hill cemetery IS a cemetery in Cedar Rapids
1705 Mount Vernon Rd SE
Cedar Rapids, IA 52403

check this out...

New e-mail from steve.. (even creepier after we know his "condition")

a theta torn I miss to reap

Sidenote: chronicle.jpg is a picture on top of another picture.. how do we undo that. I have a couple of programs to maniuplate pics but don't know how to use them that well.

 		Friend of nextday here, trying to help him out. Also a devious lurker who came late to the game.

I'm not very good with it, but I have photoshop CS3 if that might help. Already reversed the image, changed the colors and such like you all did but there arn't two layers. Extracting failed and the layer is locked. Normally it will let me click the unlock key but this one won't. Like I said.. not very good with this thing, but if anyone knows what to do with it and just doesn't have the program, I'd be willing to try it.
