Hi. Maybe you guys get this question a lot, but this is the first time ive used the boards... so here it is.

I've been using the site, but it doesnt state any difficulty rating...so i've been playing randomly.

you guys have any suggestions as to what songs to learn and in which order? -basically asking for a rating of songs on this site.

thanks

learn your favorite songs..you'll be more inclined to finish them and you'll already have a better feel for the song before you tackle it

are you new to guitar? or have you been playing for a while?

cause if you're new do a search for easy dave songs or something.

if not....just listen to a bunch of em, and learn the ones you like.

I think a precondition to get good in playing Dave songs is to listen to them first

Listening to dave alot helped me tremedously.... i listened to him for about 6 years before i start playing... and when i first starting playing i jsut played any little dave thing i could.... and once my fingers adjusted i started getting the harder stuff down, just preactice alot.

yeah, man, I havn't even been playing for a year. When I first discovered this site, I was down to some pretty basic songs. (Halloween, Watchtower, Grey Street, etc.) But then, I started toying arond with One Sweet World, Warehouse, Recently, songs of that difficulty. Finally, I learned Tripping Billies which I knew was a REALLY challenging DMB song... so Im completely satisfied. This site has helped me AMAZINGLY in my growth as a guitar player.
