New Dave style player

Unread post by m5a6t9t » Sun Aug 03, 2003 2:24 pm

I'm new to this site. I've always liked dave matthews from the first time I heard one of his songs, it was crash. In the five days I've been to this site I've learned so much to say, tripping billies, and where are you going. I've been playing crash for a 6 months. Any tips or things I need to know to be a better dave style player?
And, what age is everybody on the boards? Just curious. I'm 16.

hmmm. i suppose you're right. unlearn and learn a song all over again? *scratches my head* maybe it's still too early in the morning for me to comprehend...

Still haven't had enough time to mess with it yet. It's gonna take some getting used to, but I might learn it nonetheless (although my church *hopefully* will be buying VideoToaster[3] soon, so I'm going to have to relearn Lightwave again anyway).
