Favorite Dave Song to Jam on Acoustic Guitar

[bound2be]

So I know it probably depends on the day and mood your in but I was curious on what you guys think is the most fun song to play on acoustic that is DMB.

I think for me I would have to rank it this way:
1. Lie In Our Graves
2. Stay or Leave
3. So Damn Lucky
4. #41
5. Crash

Anyone else?

[eric1786]

I dont know if i can rank them, but i enjoy:
LIOG, two step, grey street, #40, nancies, halloween

[eric1786]

also, bartender and ddtw when i'm in drop D...

[berman1125]

while halloween is easy to play, i love rocking the shit out of it

[KAK1154]

In no particular order:

LIOG
#41
Two Step
SMTS
Watchtower (do covers count?)
Granny
Jimi Thing
The Stone

[Character Zer0]

#41 and Two Step are my two favorites.

[41 Step]

My favorite song to solo over is Lie In Our Graves.

Here is me doing just that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FJI8p9HtqE

[ryangibson]

For me it's...

So Damn Lucky
Recently
One Sweet World
What Would You Say
Some Devil
Minarets
and many others.....

[tarheel997]

rocking out the ending to the stone is always fun

[Philmb]

Tripping billies...too bad the verse is hard as hell to play/sing at the same time. At least for me it is.
41
Crush (lots of different chords)
So damn lucky
Bartender

[Taylor/Martin]

Not in any particular order, but my "rocking out" songs are:

Halloween
Cornbread
The Stone
Save Me
Tripping Billies
Sweet Up and Down
Warehouse
You Might Die Trying
What You Are (bari)
So Right (bari)
I Did It (bari)

[ryangibson]

I seemed to have left Say Goodbye off of my list. It's definitely a favorite.

how do you rock out to IBYU?

[Jontan]

LIOG; Two Step (especially outro from Radio city);watchotwe; end of the stone; BOWA

Im thinking aobut trying to learn so damn lucky, and #40. I'm not very experienced but are these pretty easy to play?

[bound2be]

so damn lucky is super fun to play when you learn it....the hardest part of the song is the verse when you have to "flutter" your fingers to get the sound dave does but practice makes perfect! Here is how I learned the song

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=a0bqEc41tuA

This guy makes it really easy to learn and play DMB

[bibby1044]

how do you rock out to IBYU?
:lol
LIOG; Two Step (especially outro from Radio city);watchotwe; end of the stone; BOWA

wtf chords does he use there? Ive been trying to figure it out by ear but never figured it out and havent got around to watching the video of it.

[bound2be]

Watch the video I posted of how to play so damn lucky it will answer all your questions!

[bluesbrother41]

bartender, LIOG, the stone, and stay's pretty fun to play to

[lotas]

I think BOWA and You Never Know are the funnest to play, but for jamming out I like Two Step, Billies

I also like playing things like What You Are and the Last Stop acoustic.

[bibby1044]

Watch the video I posted of how to play so damn lucky it will answer all your questions!
watch that vid to figure out the two step outro chords?

[FunkyTeaParty41]

Recently & Crush

[RobRoy286]

Minarets is seriously THE shit.

[Voittaa]

1. #41
2. WWYS (Bridge)
3. Save Me
4. Watchtower
5. Nancies

I can get the most creative with these songs. I just use the general chords as a guideline and I love improvin' the shit outa it.

#40 isnt too bad, i like playing that one :thumbsup

[cntrlnydmbfan]

I'm partial to Ants Marching.

[Rodey]

I don't have my privs so I can't make a new topic and I decided I'd just put it in this one, but can anyone make a video of how to finger pick Grace Is Gone?

I'm a terrible finger picker. I've only been playing consistently for about two years and have never done any finger picking except for Christmas Song (:lol)

Grace seems easy enough, just thought some visual would help.

[TheMakerDMB17]

none of them

[bibby1044]

halloween is definently a favorite, so simple but so much fun.

[gonz085]

halloween is up there, but definitely watchtower. me and my friend who's crazy on the electric jam the shit out of that.

Did you look to see if dmbtabs has a video up for that section? Another place would be youtube...there seems to be a myriad of "dave lessons" on there....god knows if they're accurate..I haven't watched them.

This list looks like my regular songs, take away crash, watchtower, crush, and warehouse. I have never learned warehouse all the way through. I just thought about that. I need to get on that right away.

My telecaster comes in tomorrow, so I'll be neglecting the martin for a while.

well looks like you got a solid list of regular songs then :)

you should really learn warehouse all the way through! if you know the intro/verse, the rest of the song is cake!

i also definitly recommend learning crush.. that is a GREAT song to play and sing to at the same time

well, any finger picking all you really use is you thumb(mostly for bass) and pointer and middle for higher melodies. Learn blackbird and you'll have the basics down.

[DMBZeppelin]

My favorite song to solo over is Lie In Our Graves.

Here is me doing just that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FJI8p9HtqE
I can't tell because the vide quality isn't great, but it doesn't even look like your playing. So either the audio is off, or you wasted your time.

[bibby1044]

so can someone please tell me what dave plays at the end of two step on radio city, please..

[Rodey]

So, for GIG is Dave just using his thumb and index finger or is he using his middle one too? I guess I just have problems placing my fingers, I don't know, I just suck at finger picking.

[Jontan]

so can someone please tell me what dave plays at the end of two step on radio city, please..

crash was the 1st dmb song i learned how to play. i still love to play it though

[bibby1044]

^ Crash was the first verse I learned to play, but not the first complete song. I still cant really figure out the chorus all that well and am real choppy during the crash into me part.

You Never Know

...all the usual's.

[JTR&PIG]

recently or liog ^ hell yes to jtr i love that song

[MGH4007]

Occaionally play 34 or just the osw instrumental intro.

[MGH4007]

My favorite song to "rock" right now is divided sky, never gets old.

[mariocarton]

i like 34 too, relaxing

[theoliveri]

I also like to find new ways to segue into songs to jam out a bit. My favorite would have to be taking the middle section out of Metallica's "To Live is to Die" and go into Gravedigger. Some others I have done:

Ain't It Funny (How Time Slips Away)---> Grace Is Gone
If I Had it All --> Minarets

I also like messing around with tLWS Captain ---> Billies

[MGH4007]

When I get bored with a dmb tune I like to change its key up. Two Step in Em, or other simple tunes, Down by the River in Bm rather than Em.

music is great.

[seniorgomez]

#34

what would you say (throw in the luther college version of the jam)

grace is gone

[JTR&PIG]

You Never Know is fun
...also
Warehouse

it's actually too difficult to choose one favorite.
