Did DMB get you hooked on guitar?

Or maybe picking it up after leaving it alone for a while, or playing it more often. I know it did for me. I started playing DMB songs like a year ago, and haven't slowed down since. I was just wondering if anyone felt the same way?

i played bass guitar for a few years before i knew about DMB, stopped playing bass, then starting listening to DMB and wanted to play some of their songs on guitar, luckily enough, my brother had 2 guitars, so i started playing, and eventually got hooked, bought the cherry lane books (before i knew about tabs)

yes.
the songs i was learning were so boring. i cant even remember what they were. but then dave came along, and it became so fun, and a great challenge, and i progressed so much faster. his stuff is great for learning finger stretches & things like that.

the dmb got me more interested...before I still loved playing Neil Young, Pink Floyd (acoustic stuff) and other folkier cowboy chord songs...then I tried to figure out #41...Am, Bm, Em, D...then I started figuring out stuff on my own by ear ALOT (had no comp for tabs)...then...well...yo sdaty on topic...the DMB helped give me a boost in interest...now it is somewhat boring my fingers

...I like fresh new challenges...Dave is getting a little redundant for me...now it is more challenging to write :wink:

amen to that, i wouldn't have picked up half the things i know on guitar now, if it wasn't for Dave.

I started playing guitar after expieriencing my first Dave concert 3 years ago. I had been listening to Dave since 95 but after seeing the man play I was awed. Dave was what I immediately tried to start learning to play. It 's the equivalent of going strait to the hardest music especially when I was trying to learn the very basics of playing from my friend who taught himself but cannot even read tabs. So it was real slow going but thanks to all you at DMB Tabs you have really helped speed up the process.

Nah, my best friend got me hooked...lol two years ago. And yet I can still only manage to play LIOG and part of Crash from Dave...I've got some of John Mayer's stuff down though.

I've only been playing the guitar for about two years. I didn't even really start listening to DMB unitl about 2 months ago. I still only own three of their cd's. I'm dying to buy the rest but my personal economy is in a recession right now, on the border of a depression. Anyway, my uncle started me off on the guitar teaching me some Zepplin, Santana, and some Clapton tunes. I started there and then ventured off in to some other things I like. I own electric and acoustic so for a while I was playing metal songs like metallica, deftones, and P.O.D. However once I started listening to dave I couldn't resist. For the past 2 months that's the majority of my playing.

Yeah, they got me hooked. I play it more than piano or drums combined....well, maybe not drums, but....yeah...you get the picture.

Nope, Dave may have made me a better player, but Good Riddance by Green Day got me hooked on guitar. I never had much desire to learn a musical instrument untill I heard that song and thought, "I want to be able to do that." So I did..

ya dmb definitly got me hooked on bass. my dad came home with the listener supported dvd one day....and i was watching it with him...and i thought how cool it would be to be up on stage with four of your friends to and jammin with one another. then my friend, who had started playing guitar with another friend of mine, asked me "hey, you wanna buy a bass guitar?"

and there we go.

He totally got me hooked. I'm 14 right now (i know i'm young no comments please) and i've loved dmb ever since the 5th grade, thanks to my brother and sister. I started playing dave songs like 4 months ago and i play non stop guitar every day. i think its a problem because i play much more than i should. It's all daves fault...

I got a Fender Jaguar for a birthday present years ago when I was into Nirvana big time, I played for about a year and a half then quit for some reason, why I dont know but Id like to kick myself in the ass for it. Then a few years later as I got more and more into Dave I decided to bust out my guitar, my uncle let me borrow his acoustic, I found Kanters old site and learned Lie In Our Graves and havent stopped since. So I guess he didnt inspire me to start (Kurt gets that claim) but he sure got me to pick it back up and I dont intend on quitting ever again.
