Hardest dave song to play?

[Ranting Thespian]

The only song I have a real problem with playing and singing is Dreams Of Our Fathers. Mostly because of the fast vocals.


Adam

The solution I found with that is don't pick the strings, play the chords. It sounds just as good (if not better for solo acoustic), and allows more concentration on the vocals. I'd like to share this with Dave so maybe he'll play it live, finally .

No doubt about that. I would love to hear this live.

Where can I find a correct tab for dreams of our fathers?

[mraz698]

I think Crazy is super hard to play, just because every chord breaks my hand.

[Ranting Thespian]

It's not on the site because it has never been played live. Here's my tab:

Thanks I really appreciate it, I love that song and would love to hear it played live.

[Grandpagotgame]

I think to lots of people the song's that look the hardest are really not the hardest. Some that look the hardest are Rhyme and Reason, Satellite, The Stone, and Billies. I agree that Rapunzel is so hard since sections of it are counted in 4,5,and 6. It's hard for me to stay on rythm with Rapunzel and I've played drums for 4 years. Rapunzel is a pretty tough one on the drums too.

[Kukini]

Rapunzel isn't really about making sure you're counting to me anyways, I just play it like it sounds on the record or live. And singing it is cake. I like playing that song because of the funkiness.
