Song meaning thread

I thought 41 was about Dave's old guitar teacher who claimed he wrote some of his songs.

Yeah its about Ross Hoffman, who claimed Dave stole his unique chords.

which chord is that?

wait, did dave use the chords he was accused of ripping off in the song about said chords???

if so, that's some funny shit. I assumed it weas the five formations he uses a ton. IE the three main ones from When the World Ends and the obvious two from the billies chorus.

Dave Not only took those chords to write #41 but also another song..another song that has brutal stretches. The song captain uses the same chords, there just down a fret

I have heard a few interpretations of Bartender. Anyone care to share their take?

I haven't really read any posts...but isn't this kind of a rediculous arguement. I mean, there are no patent on guitar chords. It's like if I walk a certain way, then someone starts walking that way, and gets famous for it...who am I to say "Hey fuck you, you stole my walk!"

thats what i was thinking, its not like there are people out there with a patent on a standard G chord

exactly. this whole argument seems utterly rediculous...unless I missed something along the way...
