How to play The Stone by Dave Matthews Band

I know it's really quiet, i still have a crappy webcam that doesn't pickup much I'm sorry

Here's a tab similar

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Now I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear

Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh, but this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake
And now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I go a long way
To bury the past for I don't want to pay
Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again
Now I'm just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
And oh it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Tell me you will.

Very Nice! Wish I could play like that... As a beginner should I even try this? Been playin' about 2 months. Dave is all I try to play.

@cdv28 It's probably not the best song to start out on haha, although i was a lot like you. I'd start with like where are you going/crash, the songs based around chords. good luck!

[bf812]

can you sing it too. my bro knows how to play this and he said it wasn't only hard to learn. He said it is one of the hardest songs to sing with.

[dmb6105]

haha yea it was difficult at first, but i got the hang of it now. im gonna post a video of it some time soon!

[dgterps]

Damn, how long did it take you to master this one?

[dmb6105]

haha, definitely a while. this is one of his most difficult songs to play

[mjok35]

great video except at about 2:40 you keep calling the G string the B sting

[Freed89fab4]

wow. great job man! ive been looking for somebody on youtube that taught the song the RIGHT way. ha! thanks man!

[aluters]

You do the best "how to play..." postings I've seen.  Most just play...your's are not only accurate; but, you take the time to teach it...thank you! Please keep it up!

[theanonwolf]

I commend you for your patience and exactness.

fromchicago252: I get where you're coming from, I couldn't find the timing myself for a while, but it's definitely there. It's 3/4 time signature, so try to keep saying "ONEtwothreeONEtwothree" the whole time, and you'll see that the song may have a difficult to follow rhythm, but it's there.

this makes me appreciate the music that much more. dude, you sound great,  thanks. that is so crazy hard to do....
