Need some help...

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Ok I'm playing a dmb song for my guitar class. I have no intention of singing b/c I can't. Any suggestions of a dmb song to play instrumentally? Thanks-

satellite is nice and all, but why not make their eyes bug out by playing the stone? or WWYS could be cool... since theres no vocals it would be hard to keep their attention playing the exact same riff for a long time though.

I Did It....just kidding,

I like 'Stay or Leave' in standard tuning or 'Crush' in Dropped D. Those are two pretty good songs solo.

Like Shane said, it would probably get boring if you played a whole song without singing since almost all the songs are repetitive (of course i mean boring for the listener, not the one playing the song). Maybe you could play a medley of parts of songs that blend nicely into one another.

I have always wanted to try to segue from every Dave song that I know to another. I mean taking one chord, say the 7xx7 from Grey Street and busting in Billies. Then from Billies, take the 799xxx after the slide and go into the passion intro for Warehouse then onto something else and something else and something else until I get to a chord where I can't transition into another...

Hobbes' Idea rox...

Wow them with tremolo picking skills. In other words, Stream.

Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead

hey I like that idea of blending song to song....

I made up a blend from Grace is Gone to Where are you going? that sounds pretty good....

I'll work on it guys and let you know what blends I've come up with... if you have any other blends from song to song, let me know...


I'm really thinking about singing Save Me.. the mtv solo version dave did a while back... I've been working on it... :)

thanks again ya'll-

I do GIG into WAYG too. I love it.
If you know how to improv on F#m, do Too much solo and go crazy, especially during the "violin solo."
