before i was just learning dave as a dave copy... someone who played it just as dave... but now that ive been learning more about the fretboard and theory and stuff ive realized i can make dave better certain ways... if even very easy..

how many of you have done the same thing?

well, you can play differtly than dave. like, different chord voiceings and whatnot. yeah I do it sometimes too. you gotta make it your own sometimes.

I work really hard on making the singing my own, but I still want to learn what dave does and be able to nail it before I start messing around with the guitar parts too much. I hear what you're saying, though. It is really satisfying to make a song your own (i.e., How many of you think of Bob Dylan when you think of All Along the Watchtower??).

Cheers

I always try to play as Dave, before changing something...
I have learnt very much imitating his style and I still have to learn!!!!
I'll try to change when I'll correctly play his songs and I'll have no problems...

yeah same here. But I sometimes adjust the chords to make them sound fuller...

Hey I've just realized that you are also an European, which is sort of special on these boards. Welcome or Benvenuto!

mhmm.. dylan owns dave matthews with that song, dylans version is much better, dave's get old really quickly espically with the band
but dave can put on one hell of a show with watchtower

No way. AATW is the only song where the covers are better than the original...

I think his cover of Cortez the Killer at the NYC CP concert is pretty damn killer. I finally watched my DVD, it was a killer show. There were people like, miles away from the stage. Crazy.
