every single song i write has the same style as dave and is much more aggressive, however they are rooted from daves music. Just wanted to know if anyone else feels or plays the same way i do when i comes to their other music. I also have a bunch of songs that are songs that tim would play, do you think that i would be criticized for this or do you think people will accept it, i mean it is not blatantly dave music but they style.

yeah dave has influenced me

he showed me that when playing rhythm guitar you can use a lot more than G C and D 8)

but i've been influenced by many other guitar players too, dave was just the one to open the door for me.

I haven't fully gotten into written yet, but I know I can't write as complex and thoughtful lyrics as dave. I'm more into writing countrier sounding stuff. But he's one of the reasons why I got a guitar.

I was influenced to pick up a guitar largely because of DMB. I bought Listener Supported DVD a while ago and though, "hmm, I'd like to do that". Anyway, Dave isnt't the only reason why I picked up a guitar, but a huge one.

The reason i picked up a guitar was because of Billy Corgan of the smashing pumpkins. I just love the pumpkins and basically made my mom buy me a guitar on my eighteenth birthday(almost six yr. ago).
After i mastered billy and james' styles(not the solos) i hit up the dave matthews, probably about 1997-98. Dave has totally influenced the way i play the guitar. Even now when i play pumpkins songs that percussive acousic dave style slips through. It was the pumpkins that got me started but its dave who runs the show now :wink:

You got to play the guitar with dave? *slowly bows and walks away*

Yeah, you're a lucky son of a bitch :-p

Yes, dave influences my guitar style almost 100%.. I picked up the guitar when listening to metallica, quit for a while, then came back and played nothing but dave.. i still play almost all dave.. few misc. songs too

Personally I have always liked DMB music but I was not largely influenced by the sound. I only recently started playing it because I need to know some cover songs for gigging.

Yeah, most of the music I write and the way I jam on other songs all has that percussive, droning, yet hyperkentic quality on dave and tim's music. Take that cool outro from Mrs. Robinson by S&G, and I jam on it and expand on it, interpolating the intro and adding cool licks and 9th chords. I love playing with a capo on 2nd fret. The open strings complement my kind of playing so much better.

the two things dave has influenced. I like to do those looping tunes, where it's something somewhat short, and then you repeat it, either it be chords or a riff.

The other is that I do use "dave chords" and such in my songs.

For the meaning, and the overal song, it's my style. And the lyrics have spread from my poetry I wrote a lot since about 6 years ago.

So, dmb has influenced me 20%.

Howie Day's music is also influenced by Dave's

I recently saw Howie Day at a Barenaked Ladies concert... He was alright but his guitar playing appeared pretty basic when you compare him to DM or JM.
