So I've been playing on and off for a little over a year now and I could never be able to play a whole DMB song start to finish...I gave up on Crush (couldn't get the rhythm down...the chord changes were fine). But today I told myslef I was not going to put the guitar down until I learned one. And I am happy to say that I can now completely play Bartender and DDTW...and I can do that cool little change between the two like Dave does sometimes. Those are two awesome songs to my first to learn.

Next up, I'm thinking Tripping Billies.....just kidding, I'm determined to get the rhythm on Crush now.

Well congrats, mate!

My first song was nancies, I suggest that you try and do that one, or perhaps two step.

Congrats to you. I'm happy that you managed to get a Dave song down. We all know that alot of them can be really tricky, and even the simpiler ones can cause some problems.

The first one I learned was Granny. Then I learned the 'Dave Chords' and learned a few more that are primarily those chords. (i.e. Grey Street, Two Step, etc.) Then moved on to stuff like Lie In Our Graves.

If you're like me, now that you've learned a song by him, you're just gonna keep learning more. And trust me when I say that it only gets easier to pick them up.

My first song was Typical Situation too. I think I also learned Crash pretty early on.

Congrats on learning your first (of many, hopefully) DMB song.

Good job, man! It's a great feeling. My first song was Lie in Our Graves, followed by Crash Into Me shortly thereafter.

My first was Lie In Our Graves...Non "Accurate" version

For me, learning 40 was like unearthing the Rosetta Stone. For some reason it helped me unlock other songs and other band's songs and helped me to write my own.

Thanks Dave.
