It's super hard to get all the songs done that I know in one day, I don't even think I can remember what songs I've learned and haven't learned that I haven't played in awhile.

Yea I can practice all of the songs I know because I like to noodle around and not be serious but then again my attention span is ZERO so Ill play the verse the chorus the verse again and im on to the next song. I know people that wont remember that they know a song until you play a piece of it and then theyre like "oh yea"

I have a problem like that in that I forget which non dave songs I know. I make it a point now to play one NON dave song for every dave one I play when I practice. it helps me branch, else I'd probably play dave, howie day, zepp, and thats it

I dont even know what songs I know. Which is why if I have to play live I have to bring the tab with me and tape it onstage. Its great.

He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.

I know about 90% of all songs. I never practice them. I learn them, and I know them. That's it (don't always know all the lyrics, but half I have done, again, by just playing and learning).

I use Dave Matthew's Band's songs for warmup. Start of with all Along of the Watchtower riffs play each riff like 2 times. Then go into Tripping Billies riffs, then Long Black Veil, then One Sweet World, then Satellite and jam from there.

I don't remember what songs I know, aside from Tripping Billies. That's just too damn fun to play to forget.

Sometimes people ask for a cover, and I'll make them sing the first couple lines so I remember. But I know a LOT of Dave. Too much, I think.

It's the same with some Beatles songs.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.

I regularly forget what non dave songs I know and I usually don't remember that I know them until a friend will say "hey don't you know how to play..."
