Dave's recording guitar

Unread post by Taylor410 » Fri Aug 18, 2006 10:14 pm

Does Dave record his studio albums with his DM3MD?

Also, went to the Atlanta show the other night and I thought it was one of the best I have attended. I believe they pulled out Dream Girl for the first time on the tour and the flecktones made it out on stage for awhile ,anyone else make it to Atlanta an Tuesday?

He records with his Martin's and plays live with his Taylor's.

To my knowledge, yes. I haven't heard anything regarding what acoustic he used in studio for Stand Up, so I assume he used the DM3MD, as he did for all previous studio albums since it came out in '99.

Thanks, just always wondered about that. The guitar on the Stand Up album didn't have the "Taylor" signature tone so I figured it might be the Martin

The Taylors sound amazing live, but a Martin is a much better studio guitar. The tone is perfect for a good, rich sound when recording.

I am pretty sure he used to record with his lakewood as well. At least for BTCS.

DM3MD wasn't out then. I think he used an assortment of guitars before '99. His primary (IIRC) was the HD-28(V) he used in Storytellers.

Not that we heard anything other than Timmy's D-35 :P

Seriously, i was dissapointed when i first learned that about the only thing i heard from dave matthews on the studio albums was his voice, but Tim is just such a better guitarist its not even funny.

I really think that the missing element in the last couple of DMB albums has been tim.

They need to bring him back real bad.

If you look on the bonus disc from Stand Up, there's a pic of Dave holding what I think is the DM3MD.

Are you saying that on BTCS all of the guitar is played by Tim? Wow!

By the way, I agree that bringing TR back into the recording studio would be an excellent idea!

No, he didn't mean that all of the guitar on BTCS is played by timmy. Dave plays all of the regular parts you would expect. What he meant is that Steve Lillywhite really emphasized Tim Reynolds' fills and licks here and there on not only BTCS, but Crash and UTTAD. Tim's guitar parts really add alot on the studio albums, and I personally have no problem with his guitar overpowering Dave's.

Ahh...thanks for the clarification. In a related note, I would love it if Lillywhite would come back and do another album with DMB. I suppose that's out of the question, though.

It's also fairly widely believed that Tim dubbed Dave's rhythm parts and Lillywhite mixed the two together, slightly favoring Tim's tracks.
