Hi, I was messing around on my guitar today and came up with a little fingerpick tune that I like. Although, the more I play the chords I came up with, the more reminiscent it feels to a Dave Matthews song.

At first I thought it reminded me of the partial chords to Stay or Leave, but now I'm not so sure. Can anyone play these and tell me if it's a current Dave song... Is it reminiscent to one of his songs. Or is it my own?! :shrug

I know it seems silly of me, as well I should know. But I don't know - guess I'm having one of those days. Any help would be appreciated :)

I've tabbed it out, so you can have a play along and let me know...
Thanks,
Clare

IMO, it's not too much like a DMB song. It's just a simple rundown. DMB has many of those, #40, Why I Am, Light Lift Me Up, and more.

Don't fret, your fine.

. . .but just to be safe, don't let Joe Satriani hear it. He may sue you.

Okay thanks - think I was just having a spazzy moment. to be honest, I think it's reminicant of a few chords I often play but have now just altered/changed a tad. Thanks for the comment lol :)
