Best dave song to learn with?

[JRayDtown]

hey all, im a beginner, and i also happen to b a huge dmb fan, so i was just wondering if there are any suggestions on what dave songs i should begin with. I was thinking, Bartender, DDTW, Typical, seek up, proudest monkey, Oh...but I'm not sure. any help would be great.

thanks, jon

yeah man just try to play all those. I would learn All Along the Watchtower too (intro) Typical situation is cool/ Lover Lay down. pay for what you get. Just try to keep playing harder and harder ones so you get better

The ones you mentioned are good to start off. If I were starting out I'd also take a whack at Ants Marching, Christmas Song, Crash Into Me (to stretch out those fingers!), Jimi Thing, PFWYGet, #34, Lie In Our Graves, Grey Street (for those moving chord positions), Long Black Veil would be fun... #40... that's all that comes to mind at the moment. Those should give you a good start.

Bartender is a good choice... Stay and Minarets are fun to learn with too.
