How long have you guys been playing ?

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.

How long have you guys been playing ?

Post by DSeibel »

Guys

Just wanna get an idea how long you've been playing. I've been playing off and on for a few years. I find I can grasp other songs alot easier than Dave songs. What other songs/bands do you guys like playing ?

just under 2 years.... i have most all dave stuff down very well, but whether i can play all the songs cleanly start to finish varies by the day- sometimes i can, sometimes my fingers dont feel like working and it doesnt sound as great. Other than that i know a whole assload of completely random somgs by all kinds of artists. and a ton of tenacious d.

almost 3 years.

counting crows. howie day (now) incubus. my favorite thing to play though is to put winamp on random and play lead on every song that comes up. trying to improve on improv. no play on words intended :)

I messed around with a guitar when i was younger but got serious about 2-3 years ago. Mostly Dave but also some upcoming artist like Granian and Pat Mcgee Band. You guys should check out the Granian stuff. I think most DMB fans would enjoy his music.
