whats do you think the hardest single part of any dave song?

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.

. . . Wait, are you serious?

Fool to Think chorus. Most of Dave's stuff is pretty easy, but that thing can be a b*tch sometimes.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.

Warehouse and Billies are tough!!! :evil: I can get Warehouse down somewhat...I've found if you palm mute and mute w/ your fretting hand it is easier! I'm also having some trouble getting the timing of BOWA...I can play it, but the timing throws me off a little bit! It's not bad, but I sometimes get lost playing w/ the CD. I think its that damn Carter drumming like a madman that's doing it! :lol: The strumming while screaming Watchtower is tough...especially if you really get into it! :lol: :P

He is keeping it pretty straight foward in that tune. If anything, it should help. Try taping your foot on the down beats. should help.

I think it's because of the drum-fill intro! It may be the only Dave song with one! I get it corrected after 1-2 verses, but yea! You know! My main problem is the screaming "All along the watchtower, the princes kept the view..." and keeping a constant stumming pattern! It doesn't sound half bad because you're screaming, but whatever!

I really don't mean to gloat, but I never found Warehouse or Billies hard at all. I got them both down in under an hour. It took me longer to get down Help Myself.

Alot of people seem to think that for some reason, but I guarantee if they sat down next to dave and played along with him, theyd quickly realize theyre not that good.
