E G A

Some people try to play the songs exactly like Dave, which to me is dumb, because when Dave plays a cover, he always plays it a totally different way than the original.

AH HAHAHAHA!

.... am I the only one who got it?

I have been playing for 2, going on 3 years, and I can just now barely fumble my way through a handful of songs. Not DMB songs though. Those are wild. Try starting off with more folksy songs where the lyrics follow the changes more. First time I ever played in public I did two songs, Rocky Raccoon ...

And bear in mind, they are from time to time notoriously inaccurate.

Here's something to start off with:


e:--0---x---0---2---0---0---3 e:--3--3-- e:-----5--
b:--2---3---1---3---0---1---0 b:--3--4-- b:--5--5--
g:--2---4---0---2---1---2---0 g:--4--5-- g:--5--5--
d:--2---4---2---0---2---3---0 d:--5--5-- d:--5--5--
a:--0---2---3---0---2---3---2 a:--5--3-- a:--5--3 ...

Look up four posts.

I said it was the closest, I didn't say it was right

If it doesnt sound right then your guitar is out of tune cuz that's how the man plays it.

the second tab is right although i think it sounds better without the major 3rd in there, try it just as a power 5th chord. i dont think there is any guitar on this song, besides bass guitar, and the bass is deffinitely Bb, F, Bb, F, like you have, and then F# G# on the end of the chorus.

Main Part

e --------0--0--------0--0
B --------1--1--------0--0
G --------0--0----0---0--0
D 2-2/4\2-2--2-----2--2--2
A --------3--3---3--0-2--2
E --------3--3--------0--0

Buildup Part

Same as main part but for Em part play:

e -0-----------
B -0-----------
G -0-----------
D -2-----------
A -2 ...

maybe try posting that tab again but click that code button before and after to make it line up right.

Dave playes Am (577) G (355) F (133) E (022) power chords.

I always end on and E minor chord.

for blues (i love blues)
try eric clapton, b.b. king, and stevie ray vaughn

i also recommend allman brothers (my 2nd fave band) for a little southern influence
never heard of the allman brothers but i know the rest would be too hard for me... im really hoping i could build up to something like ...
