Best So Much to Say

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.

Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."

why? it's not that hard. i admit, it can be tough at first, but it's really not that hard at all to play. personally, i agree, i think along with jimi thing, its daves best guitar riff and one of the coolest ever, but it's not that hard.

I think it is a rad riff, too. But not that hard. at first i learned it from the tab book, which doesnt show which fingers to use. i was using the first finger to bar the fifth fret, and hitting the rest of the notes. then, i figured it out that you have to use the pinky, but i didnt know about the 4 / 6 slide on the g string, so now i have it down perfectly...PERFECTLY!!!

are you serious? why do you think this riff is some amazingly difficult thing to play. it's not that hard man. i was able to teach my friend it in one afternoons jamming session. it really isn't that complex due.

I cant remember exactly what he said but Dave in an interview one time said something like "I cant write stuff like So Much To Say anymore. I mean, I don't know how I came up with that. Maybe I should start taking whatever I was on again."

Not a quote just an approximation. I cant remember what interview either.
