Where Should I Begin

granny and crash

his hands arent ready for crash...

It will get them in shape fast. Plus you never know, he might have long fingers or something.

i learned Crash fairly early myself. Granny is a good song to get used to the closed postions and such, like uhh.. thae part after the D chord.. and the Blindy, throw my faith... that part is also pretty good, learn the change fingers quickyl

As part of your learning, I would try working on #41 and the nature intro to Trippin Billies. Just try a few minutes each day...that will help build your stretching. Don't push it though and hurt your hand, just a little it each day.

I think grey st. is easy.

This song gives me fits

Really what parts?

My guitar isn't a 12 string, and it just sounds like ass completely and totally. It isn't full at all. I can play it...the guitar can't handle it because it's a piece of shit

Grey Street is all about getting into it. Like I can't play Crush unless there's a girl I wanna sing for or a reason for me to get emotions behind my playing. I think the same goes for Grey Street. It's so simple, you have to have reason to bust it out well. And the yelling part is always fun...

Two Step
Pay For What you get.

Two step vs Crash

Two step: More to remember, hard fast strumming
Crash: A stretch

I dont know how you could reccomend Two step to a beginner, I guess Im overly concious of how my songs sound because I refuse to play two step cus I havnt perfected the strum, just me, Recently is really easy for beginners

OK, to be honest i'm not the greatest guitarist.

Are you sure cause i heard somewhere that....
j/k

i learned crash first but it took me a long time to actually perfect it but it will help you out in the long run to learn it early though.

Christmas song was my first. Followed by crash, liog, and pfwyg. Grey st. is a great song to learn early if you can get it down, because you see those chords all over in daves music (billies, granny, so damn lucky...)

[i like tictacs]

I have a little trouble with the first chord of the chorus...i can play that, and shift to the other three, and back to the verse...but i can't keep it going. and i feel like a moron when i sing even though people say i sing deece.

[phatnev]

I still cant even begin to play seek up I hate that song

[Flakes]

I actually forog to mention that I know the intro or "stretch"part or whatever you want to call it part of Crash when I started playing.(Only about 5 months ago) but I don't find the stretch difficult at all. I tried So Much To Say, I can play it but for some reason my rythym or something must be off cause it just doesn't sound right. Finally, I recently learned Warehouse. I'm not sure if im muting it perfectly but it sounds pretty accurate. That didn't take me long to learn. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Crash is great, and you don't even have to know it all because the one time i played it for a girl, i wasn't even half way through before she was like OMMG MIKE YOU ARE AMAZING blah blah blah and it's the only song i can legitimatley fully play and sing. i play bass for music...i play acoustic because some of the ladies are into it.

you shallow bastard. you should be blowing up skirts with earth shaking grooves.
