Tabs are a perfect form of structure. They get you playing(and if thats not enough) its a song you want to play(Motives?), it can help you enhance your playing both mentally and physically. Imo.
i agree, its really not that difficult of a song but it can be pretty tricky for a beginner, especially getting the rhythm down. whats wrong with a beginner needing tabs because they want to learn a song? get off your high horse and stop being so judgmental
Sorry man, not trying to be judgmental or rude in any way. I just think its much better for a musician to learn by ear, no matter how far along they are. I started with tabs, they are helpful, but after a certain amount of time, they become a crutch. My friend has been playing more than 5 years, but he still uses tabs and has almost no ear. After a certain amount of time you have to start using those ears.
I never heard that song before, but what ever it was, it seems to me that you did a very nice job playing it. To top that, your doing it on the guitar of my dreams. Anyways, for what it's worth, excellent job and excellent post..
I have a microphone plugged directly into my macbook pro. I threw reverb on in Garageband... that's it. I'm sorry you guys are so skeptical about things, that must make life pretty hard.
firs tof all.. this is epic.. makes me almost cry and im a man.. second i hear some reverb in your voice and other effects.. is there a second guitar prerecorded? and what other effects do u use on ur guitar and the sound generally.. and one more thing.. do you tune your guitar in ne way .. id really appreciate it if youd get back to me bro.. epic performance and im gonna be listenig to this a lot more but yea let me knowl.. keep jamming
Wow that is awesome bro I know u wont but u have no idea how much it would be appreciated if you would do a tutorial of that! I just cant figure out that echo man that is bad to the bone
i watched this at 12:30 and was so inspired that i had to play it. i picked it up from your fingers and played around with it for a while until i woke my mother. =] sounds great!!!
Yo man like Katt WIlliams said, Let haters hate, let them do their job. hahah well great job man I cant see why people look at you like at musical legend. youre just havin fun.
Well no matter what everyone has to say, it was an amazing cover, and i can't wait until i get the time to post a drum cover of the "American Baby Intro" Good job GR
hey man dont listen to the bitch below good job with the song. good stuff with all the dave covers you do ive checked em out and learned em from you so thanks. Yeah the bitch who commmented below me doesnt know what shes talkin about keep up the good work
if your doing a cover of somebody's song you usually need to hit the same notes and/or sound like the person who created the song... are you saying he should of went out of his way to not sound anything like dave?
p.s if you left that comment to simply make yourself look like an asshole then i know i wasted my time addressing how much of a moron you are

yo TheGeminiProject, and all you other little assholes - in his description of the video he clearly states "this is my INTERPRETATION.." no where does he say or even infer that he is trying to play or sound just like dave. Just shut the fuck up and listen to the music, and if you dont like it then dont listen to it? You act like you know dave, "stop trying to sound like him omfgz</3" ..pussies
I was on his side, all these people were saying stop trying to sound like dave .. I was trying to say that its not a big deal if he does since he is in fact doing a cover of his song.. sorry if i wasnt clear
Okay that was beautiful. I was kind of skeptical about watching it because it'd be so hard to do this song justice... But you totally exceeded my expectations! Well done, be proud :) Loved it
I thought this was excellent. It is fine to idolise and immitate someone who is brilliant. No surprises to see that those who criticise have no videos of themselves with wonderful performances. The reason being their life is that screwed up that the only pleasure they gain from it is disrespecting people who have talent. Keep up the good work mate
You're very talented... that's undeniable. I loved your Butterfly cover so I watched this one too... and I love it. As far as people saying you don't sound like DM... well, you do... but the whole point is to have a voice of your own, while covering songs of artists who have voices with a similar range... which you have chosen perfectly. So don't even listen to the bitter-hearts. What do they know, anyway.
no one can be perfect. this is a damn good cover and this guy has talent. that's something you can't deny. who cares if he doesn't sound exactly like dave? do you think anyone can? have some respect. great job, my friend. i think this is excellent.
dude ur my hero. but troydmb1717, your a dumbass. not everyone can perfect Dave Matthews, hell no one can perfect ANYTHING. you did a good job man so keep up the good work. and ppl stop criticizing his work cuz most likely, if u tried it it would just come out shittier so stfu
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm gonna go with blueeyedbeans, I'm gonna guess the folks that are enjoying this BASIC GUITAR PLAYING and so-called singing probably are those same guys that bought a guitar in college just because everyone else did. This is horrible....but, I will tell you this, the computer sings wonderfully for you. Good attempt at trying to make Dave Matthews' faces, did you practice those in the mirror first? Wanna prove me wrong, take off all the digital vocal help and prove it, this is disgusting.
Ummmm the idiot that posted the first comment must not kmow anything about music! Your amazing and everything that I have seen you sing has blown me away! And the facial expressions, please, they are feakin sexy as hell!!!! Keep jammin man! ~Denise
Hey Man! Excellent work. I like how you loop the bass line, then add the second guitar part. Those chords are the same chords as Tripping Billies, Too much, love lay down and grey street. That made the second part alot easier to learn...great facial expressions! I'm the same way. Musicians all have great musician faces!
your high pitch voice made me laugh but dude you gotta a good dave voice. great cover
