Great song!! One of the first in the DMB catalog. They've been playing it pretty regularly on this tour....cool chord progression, fun to play.

i'm a new guitar player, still learning the ropes. while i'd love to play some dave songs, i stay away from them. the parts themselves don't seem that hard but as many of you have said, the rhythm and singing is really tough to pick up...pretty much impossible for me at this stage.
but yeah, dave is tremendously talented and it is kinda funny how nobody has posted a "dave sucks". i guess we can see talent over those from "the porch"

Dave Matthews isn't too hard to sing & play lotsa choppy picking & slapping. However if you want a challenge try playing & singing anything by Ani Difranco. That girl is amazing. She uses some interesting timings in her playing.

I love Dave Matthews. Especially solo/acoustic or with Tim Reynolds. Can't wait to see DMB on 8/7 with luvistower

oh yeah, christ, i saw her live...i wouldnt even want to try, she has a complete style all her own. It's acousta-punk.

oh yea. I actually used to be in a band with my wife and we used to do Gravel. actually an easier one to play but still way fun. the key is taping five banjo picks to your fingers w/duct tape and then just wearing a hole in your guitar. i think that's how to do it
