1) you never know
2) best of whats around
3) what would you say (especially the first two chords of the jam, wooo ahhhh!!)
4) warehouse and
5) tripping billies verse are the hardest ones, I think.

for some reason i really can't play bustesd stuff, that is the one song i can not get a grasp on, but i think its just me. any one else have trouble with that?

hardest song to play:
Satellite
I cant play it for the life of me, and i can play just about every other dave song. Busted Stuff is not a problem, let you down is hard, so is you never know, also songs like loving wings, i just cant get it to sound like the way dave plays it. oh well, back to practicing

peace

at the point that i'm at i'd say warehouse is the hardest dave song i'm trying to play... just cant get the damn muting down, sounds awful

havent tried a lot of ones mentioned, i learned the rest of Tripping Billies but havent even tried the verse yet, looks INSANE

The first dave songs i learned were crash, TS, too much, bartender was real easy, and of course proudest monkey, and i recently discovered how easy halloween was to play, that was suprising.... I just need to master PNP, and when i can play warehouse i'll really be happy

when the world ends. its just such a bouncy, rhythmic song and daves singing is always in and out of time. very hard. now i just play, no more singing of wtwe. impossible i declare. ingeneral, its hard to sing dave stuff i think. his irregular voice is hard to try to match up w/ sometimes but, that is what makes dave the DAVE isnt it. well, im gone. class time.

definately agree. WTWE verse is impossible. I've tried and failed too many times. The chorus and bridge I can handle its just that damn verse. oh well.
good, and you?

I would haave to say that warehouse is the hardest. i cant get that first riff to sound right. I can play it but it just sounds off. oh well if anyone has suggestions on how to play it better let me know.

I can play it perfectly fine

but I can't sing over The Stone.

Dunno why, I just can't do it.

The best of what's around took a lot of time, but still having problems singing and playing Tipping Billies.

i actually find that the easiest ones to sing with are the hardest most intricate ones to learn. cuz in order to play w/o singing they have to be drilled in your head, and when its time to sing, you know it soo well that its easy. That made no sense at all.

I think every song is hard to sing!!!!! As soon as I open my mouth, my rhythm is shot. I sound like a wounded duck!!!!
Jam on!

well, given that you can actually sing...
well, i was gonna try to give input, but really once you've nailed the guitar bits, singing to them is easy. now being able to sing well, that's the problem....
