Yeah, you get used to it though. It really just takes time. Patience and effort are the keys. You'll get it. Good luck with your playing :thumbsup

[Butterfingerz]

-Typical Situation
-Lover Lay Down
-Crash Into Me

These are all pretty easy.

And thumbs up for starting to play. Just stay with it, you'll pick up on it all sooner than you think.

[TSilk]

big eyed fish, crash into me, bartender, proudest monkey, the space between

once you pick up on the chords and muting you should be gold

[daraidaaa]

Butterfly is a fun little song that's pretty easy
Grey Street isn't bad either.

[Sniper15]

Proudest Monkey is by far the easiest DMB song for guitar.

[cinciballer88]

god i cant get butterfly for the life of me. I just can't get the rhythm down i guess. As for good songs for beginners Proudest Monkey is easy but it feels like im playing happy birthday or something, i just don't think its that fun. I've been playing for about a year and the dmb songs i know are in order of what i think are the toughest (Proudest Monkey and ABI not included)1.The Stone 2.Lie in Our Graves 3.So damn Lucky (took me AWHILE to get the verse) 4. Two Step 5. Spoon 6.Crash Into Me 7. Ants Marching 8. Grey Street 9. #41 10. Big Eyed Fish 11.#40 12.Typical Situation i think by far the toughest song is tripping billies i give up on it everytime i look at the tab lol....... Hope that helps a little!

[halloween_dmb41]

thanks everyone! i dont really think im gonna go to an actual guitar teacher, but just to one of my dave friends that can already play...just because i dont want to spend alot of money on lessons....is that a good choice?

THE SONG THAT JANE LIKES

...all standard chords, easy progressions, simply rhythm.

[UncleNewth]

Once you learn dave's techniques (witch sometimes isn't to easy) you can play almost everything

[Crazy#41]

-Typical Situation
-Lover Lay Down
-Crash Into Me

These are all pretty easy.

LLD chrous to play/sing, is actually kinda difficult.

For sure, singing and playing at the same time isn't easy. I was just talking about the guitar part itself.

What is the easiest NdmbC song to learn? My friend just gave me an old guitar because I told him I wanted to play, and so I got it last week--have no idea what to do. Help me? lol

everlong by the foo fighters

EDIT: green day is pretty easy too

[randumox56]

proudest monkey has to be the easiest dave song.. lover lay down's chorus is not easy at all... the main riff is pretty simple though.

But really...:lol

Wild Thing
La Bamba
Pachebel's Canon (just the chords)
Smoke on Water (Duh)
November Rain (chords)
All Along the Watchtower (all really depending what key your in, but if you play it the way DMB does, it's Am-G-F)

[comerelaxnow]

i agree with whoever said Don't Drink The Water

id also say Where Are You Going

[Mattstl1]

Finally went and bought a guitar! Figured I'd throw my name in the mix here and say hello.

[TGaucho]

hello!


my recommendations for the begginer (repeating some that others have mentioned, naturally):

proudest monkey
seek up
blue water
typical situation
digging a ditch
big eyed fish
bartender
don't drink the water
halloween
christmas song
song that jane likes
spoon
crush
the space between
butterfly
gravedigger
crash into me
#41 (done the "simple way")



hell, that's a whole set right there (and a pretty good set too if it were jumbled around a bit)

also, some of the dave covers are pretty easy:

All Along The Watchtower
Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away
Long Black Veil (<< VERY good beginner song)
Redemption Song
For The Beauty of Wynona

[Munford]

pay for what you get

[Statechamp41]

Learn Nancies. Two main notes and you learn a lot about Dave chord formations. And it's fucking awesome kick ass to play. The 'Sing and Dance' part is one of my favorite progressions of all time.
