I can't believe people think captain is harder than fool to think. I want some fool to think love in the recording forum.

i've been trying for so long to get FTT down. it's (IMO) by far the hardest dave song. that damn chorus never sounds good when i play it.

everytime i watch the benaroya hall vid, i'm so blown away. it doesn't even look hard

it sucks cause my favorite songs are all the hardest to play (except for pig) and its not even because of the guitar necessarily, i think fool to think was some of his best lyrics, same with The Stone. :(

I really can't make the chorus sound good at all either

And you're right he makes it look so easy in that video. Hey does anyone want to put that video up? I think I deletet it off my computer.

I can play stone and billies good, OSW intro ok, and Captain I could play slow. Ive never tried Stand Up and I cant get FTT chorus at all. So I voted FTT.

Same here. I can play the chorus fine, but the transition to it from the verse always fucks me up.

Am I the only one that didn't find captain hard to play? I have really small hands and it wasn't much trouble for me...

Well my guitar isn't a cutaway, so FTT is damn near impossible for my tiny ass hands. Otherwise, The Stone. But that's what makes me appreciate The Stone so much. It has AMAZING lyrics, great melody, and is a sick and fun song to play.

the vaginal fluid they are secreting is the same composition of urine minus the uric acid and phosphorous. i learned that in 11th grade anatomy. btw, sometimes it does have a FAINT smell of Pizzle.

I haven't really messed around with FTT much, so I'll have to say Billies. It owns my ass. Strangely I don't have too much trouble with The Stone. I can't explain it.
