So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Do most of you use a pick when playing Dave songs? Just wondering since I'm new to this whole guitar thing.

If you look on the main site when you look up tabs on how to play his songs, you'll see that JKanter has it where he tells you what Dave does for each song, whether it be pick, finger-picking, thumb, etc... And I do what each song states on the main site. But I would suggest doing whatever you think is more you're style as of right now just beginning, if you find it easier to not use a pick, don't. Just my two cents :-)

I think he uses a pick for almost all songs except:

grace is gone
where are you going
pay for what you get
everyday (fingerpicked on occasion)
christmas song

i'm sure there are few more (i don't know about the some devil cd)...i just can't think of them right now.

He used a pick for WAYG in Central Park if my eyes weren't deceiving me.

Here are all the songs that I have seen, or heard, that have been fingerpicked. Of course, this is just to the best of my knolwedge, of course some I could be mistaken.


Seek Up
X-mas Song
Typical Situation
Pay For What You Get
Cry Freedom
Everyday
Sleep To Dream Her
Grace Is Gone
Where Are You Going
Digging a Ditch
Busted Stuff
Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors
Long Black Veil
Waste
Some Devil
Oh
Baby
Yes, I am in a box
