Does anyone else see this? The starting riffs are very similar, and they both have parts that go from a 4/4 time sig. to a 3/4 and back again...im not saying that i dont like both songs, but...well lets just put it this way...if rapunzel was defunct, id say that Joy Ride is to Rapunzel as Everyday is to #36...thoughts?

its actually 12/8. you can count it 3/4 if you like but it would be way too complicated. Easier just to count all the way through the repeat.

I wouldn't say JR and Rapunzel are as close as Everyday and #36. Everday and #36 are essentially the same song...

*yeah, they all sound the same! I mean, like...what's up with that violin and saxaphone and that crazy black guy? Like, I totally don't get it! All their songs totally sound the same! Crazy bluegrass music! Teehee!*

Eh, I've had a coupld people say that sort of thing to me. I know what you're saying though Snyder. Dave mentioned in a recent interview (I think Guitarworld Acoustic) that he was running out of ideas on the guitar.

people keep saying it and i just don't agree i guess, 36 and everyday have almost the exact same notes throughout, joyride and rapunzel are only really close in rhythm only, and even then they differ
just my opinion

I agree, JR and rapunzel are similar in rhythm, but if you were to compare joy ride to another song as far an similarity in notes, chords, whatever . . . it would be the chorus of JR and the verse of so damn lucky. No big deal thought. . .you find that in many songs. Take grey street, and compare it to parts of billies, or granny, or even LIOG, many similarities in chords. Maybe a different order, but if you just looked at those parts you can't really say there is a broad range of creativity. I guess what i'm saying is dave has a distinct style, and though it is obvious in many songs, each song becomes its own. Maybe if he played rapunzel and JR back to back i'd be like wtf.
