Yes, definitely, girls love this song. The thing is, it's really easy to play and even easier to sing, so the joke is on them! Haha!
except, when you laugh after 'the joke is on them', you have to make sure you laugh just like daves impression of his south african friend laughing while setting fire to the cave crickets (Storytellers)
Gotta love them Cave Crickets!!!!! "ha ha ha ha...die die die...i hate you i hate you i hate you" :lol:

I play x-3-5-5-x-x -> x-2-4-x-3-x for that part

the word he changes to the second chord is in bold: how you make it all alright, love

peace
good, and you?

Help

Unread post by Iceman25 » Tue Feb 04, 2003 4:17 pm

Hey everyone, what's up! I need some help. I've been trying to play Crush with the tabs from this site and by watching the StoryTellers video but am struggeling big time on the Chourus. I can't seem to get the rhythem or finger placement right. Does anyone have any tips (or video/audio) for the rhythem, fingering, or know of an alternative way to play this part, perhaps something lower on the neck where theres more room? Once I can get this part down, I should be able to piece it together. Thanks guys, I'd appreciate any kind of advice :wink: Once again, prop's to this site and everyone responsible for keeping it going!

you can just play standard F, G, C chords: It's (F)crazy, I'm (G) thinkin' just (C) knowin' that the (G) world is (F) round and (G) here, we'll be (C) dancing on (G) the ground (F) ......etc.

its the way I first learned to play it, until I found out how Dave played it. the first way was good to get the timing and whatnot.

peace
good, and you?

that's cool. Crush was the first Dave song I learned from start to finish. It's one of the songs that "got me hooked" so to speak.

hey, saw you guys talking about crush. sat down with the bootleg of storytellers and jammed, it was awesome. crush is probably dave's best love song. its always good to re-visit an old song and learn to love it again. peace.

He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
