Who can play the entire song?

[shark54]

When I say I can play a Dave song, I mean that I can play the full song, repeated as many times as I like, from beginning to end (including intros and outros), while singing in sync, drunk/high, and spinning with my eyes closed.

This does not apply to any other artists that I can cover, only Dave (:

Can you play a song live, from start to finish in front of people? That's a test indeed.

i used to learn a lot of riffs, and know some of those songs i learned i dont care to learn the whole song. like burn one down, alone, and another lonely day all by ben harper i can play intro/verse, but now i have no desire to learn those choruses. ive learned that also ive been having more trouble with the chord chorus of dave then the verse riffs. like satellite choruse i had some problem with (thanks pat) but now i got it down.

anways, for the question, if i can play the majority of the song, ill usually say i can play it. if i can play the verse and the choruse of a song, but i cant play (or never really tried to) the 15 second bridge, ill still say i can play it.

and by the way, for the stone, the hardest part for me is not have my pinky get too tired to play.

i'll admit it guys....i cant play a whole song all the way through (yet). mainly because (not trying to make excuses) i work full time and then some, i go to school part time, and i have a six y/o son that consumes alot of my free time. so i guess what i'm saying is that i dont have but a few hours a week to practice. i am trying to learn Granny all the way through and so far i'm doing pretty good. i've only really been playing for a little over a year and i know one day i will be able to play something all the way through. yada yada yada.....

Hey all
I started playin bass first. I figured it'd be easy enough to pick up some dave songs on bass... nope. lol. So I practiced my ass off until I could get every little fill that stefan does. Once I did that.. I grabbed a guitar and learned the songs. I can proudly say I know damn near every song, note for note. The ones I've pretty much didn't learn were mother father and sleep to dream her. Other than that, I got em down perfectly.

I have clearly mastered every song of his except from those from everyday, becuase that album is not to my high standards. Also please remember to follow the one true lord: Bruce Lorne Campbell

[mangold]

never heard of this bruce fellow


and i mean all the way thruogh when i say i can play a song

[BruceLorneCampbell]

I think i deserve a little more respect. I, the amazing bruce campbell, am one of the finest actors of our time. You may recall my glorious role as the snooty usher in Spider-man 2. Back on topic I will admit I cant play drive in drive out. That ones a toughie

[aleceiffel]

if you're the real bruce campbell, then of course i'd bow down to you. but if you're just identity thefting... oh man...

hail to the king, baby. best. ending. line. ever.

i don't know some of dave's songs, and others give me trouble, but i could get them down if i really cared enough to seriously put my mind to it. the one i simply can't get down is the stone. i can play the chorus though...! but since we're talking whole songs here...

oh come on.

im really not trying to be a dick, but i see more "i can play it, it's not hard"s from you than anyone. [cue letting go, stream]

have you heard letting go? looked at a tab? its not hard, that recording i posted wasnt meant to be right, or even me paying attention to what i was playing, it was to show the sound of the guitar, if you read, it said that.

Yes, I've heard Letting Go. One of my favorite compositions of all time. Have I seen the tab? Yes. Hell, I've tried learning it before, but put it on the backburner because my skills aren't good enough. There is no way that someone that has been playing guitar for a few years can determine Letting Go "not hard". I'm sorry, it is a hard song, no matter how you look at it.

And even if the recording you posted "wasn't meant to be right" why the hell would you do that? "Oh, here's a clip of the song, but I'm not playing to my potential. I'm purposely playing it badly." Why wouldn't you just play to your ability? Or why not choose a song that you know how to play?

God damn do I have a stick up my ass today.

normaly i like you, but as ive said at least 3 times, it was to show the sound of the guitar, after a day of traveling alot, runnin around all over the place, and you really are tired of playing guitars even though you just got a new one, you might not play to the best of your abilities, oh well,
