I'd say the entire Fool To Think is hard (not just the chorus). The verse has really weird timing, and the little solo bridge thing he does is weird.

Yeah, I can play each part of that song fairly well, but the transition to the chorus from the verse kills me.

I still voted The Stone because for the life of me I can't play and sing that at the same time, i've tried to learn it 100 times but can't get both of them down, but i'm to the point where i can play it fairly well. As for fool to think, I can play both parts fine, but I am still having trouble transitioning smoothly from the verse part to the chorus solo quick enough, it's tricky....

I happen to think that there isnt a dave song thats "hard" to play...

Once you get the drift of the song, and the true way to play it
All you need is to be a good rhythm player.

I learn most of the dave songs by ear, but i have a couple tab books.

I'd like to know where to find the official way to play "Dream Girl" - from A Weekend on The Rocks DVD.

Anyone got some help there???

The only 2 of those that I know in its entirety is Warehouse and The Stone. Of those 2 I guess The Stone would be more difficult, but it's really not that hard once you get it down. The only other one i know is TBillies, but I just know the intro and the main little riff thing.

Fool To Think isn't hard as much as it is a bitch to play and sing simultaneously.
