As a guitar player he is underrated. Tell me who else plays the way he does? He uses the percussive aspects of the guitar to a degree that few other guitarists can match.
Underrated, no doubt. And he does use some pretty unconventional chords. But you'd be pretty surprised just how good some (but not all) of these other frontman guitarists really are. Dave knows it too, that's why he's very humble.
I love when people say they can play Dave songs... its never right. His right hand techniques are incredibly difficult to replicate as you almost need to be in his head to understand how he's slapping those strings at any given time
From the 8/8 verse to the 9/8 chorus, singing and playing. It’s seems so natural for him, but it’s actually pretty hard to accomplish all that live the way he does.
this is prime Davespeak right here. I love how nervous he is during solo shows (and Dave& Tim shows) - even after all these years. ♥ Never change, Dave.
Dave Matthews is sheer genius when it comes to song writing, it doesn't get any better than him as a song writer. Any guy who has liked a girl that hasn't liked them back knows that there is no way to explain that feeling more than these lyrics of this song.
This version of this song is amazing - it really shows the underlying structure that Dave put into it that you don't really get to hear on the studio version. I liked it live too with the full band. But this version gave me a greater appreciation for it. Thanks, Dave!!
What a fucking gem. If anyone gets a chance to hit up Benaroya Hall in Seattle for any reason, do it. It will make you appreciate how amazing this sounded in person. Best concert hall you could hear a show at, let alone Dave
Funny how one of the greatest musicians to ever grace the earth can be that nervous and insecure about themselves! I guess that's part of the beauty of Dave and his humility and humbleness.
alot of people don't realize this but, this is a difficult song to play and sing at the same time and this version was FLAWLESS. i'm still learning to play this song, its the chorus that messes me up but dave makes it look so easy
I love hearing this version of the song...It strips away everything and takes it down to its most essential essence. It gave me a new appreciation for it, though I liked it before. Beautiful...
Great video - thank you for posting. Dave is a musical genius. His melodies and hooks are incredible - like no one else on the music scene today. Anyone can write obvious lyrics - Dave gives us something we can think about and interpret. I just wish more DMB fans would recognize his genius...that sometimes what comes out sounds quirky, but in reality he's just plain hilarious...that you shouldn't always equate his way to being influenced by one drug or another.
pipper, it's a british english word; hard to directly translate but the feelings it conveys are easily gathered from the rest of what he said I think. dont hurt yourself thinking about it...
all i gotta say is that the newsest album in 2008 is probably going to BLOW all of our minds...you think that DMB doesnt know what we say about them and Stand Up or their other albums..trust me they do...and i have a lot of faith this one is going to be insane!
dave said in an interview that even for him it's nothing more than practice at on point.. had the same problem at the beginning..and still have it with some new songs i learn or even wrtie myself.. but you'll get to this point if you just practive over and over again..
in this song he goes b then a weird c barre and in that he mutes the bottom 2. he plays these funky chords where you have the first 4 strings used only and the d is open and dampens the bottom two, usually with his index. not to hard once you get it down
Please someone inform me as to what crazy time signature this song is in!?!?!? I can't play it because it is so weird. I think there is a change between the two riffs also? HELP!

I absolutely *love* this song- from the moment I first heard it.
I was in the crowd!!!! This was an amazing experience! It takes me back..... Wish i could be there again:)
I know the feeling. Everything goes by too fast. I don’t know what I’d give for 5 minutes at my first DMB concert now.
This version is FLAWLESS!
Oh Dave. You are so much more than college music. Yet another insightful and beautiful composition. Gonna grab my six and get this one down... PEACE
I really don't care what anyone says. Yes my absolute favorite and nothing will change that

+saki14james unfortunately I had a conversation with a guy, hated every aspect of DMB, said no one in the band is talented.
Underrated, no doubt. And he does use some pretty unconventional chords. But you'd be pretty surprised just how good some (but not all) of these other frontman guitarists really are. Dave knows it too, that's why he's very humble.
saki14james have u seen the captain chords?? good luck
I love when people say they can play Dave songs... its never right. His right hand techniques are incredibly difficult to replicate as you almost need to be in his head to understand how he's slapping those strings at any given time
This is such a difficult song to play and sing at the same time. Dave is such an incredible song writer, and an equally talented guitarist.
Matthew Berg Definitely

jdanddpt hes coked up
i dont think so. he was actually sick throughout this show

My favorite Dave song!!! I've grown tired of love. You are the trouble with me! Could listen to this everyday! Hey thats another dmb song!
he constantly impresses me with the guitar parts he can play while singing at the same time.
Oh this song makes me feel. I love you Dave Matthews!
This is the best version of this song.
Indeed
His guitar style is so fuckin' slick! I love playing "Dave Chords"
this guy has no competition when it comes to the music he makes
"you make a mess of me"
one of my all-time favorite DMB lyrics.
This is one of my fav Dave songs...this is an amazing rendition. He's the coolest, I can't wait to see him 4/20/09 in Birmingham AL.
This version of this song is amazing - it really shows the underlying structure that Dave put into it that you don't really get to hear on the studio version. I liked it live too with the full band. But this version gave me a greater appreciation for it. Thanks, Dave!!

I love this man.
Dave Matthews: I love you.
Me too- forever
This version made me love the song
This song describes me perfectly.
I feel the same way...
alot of people don't realize this but, this is a difficult song to play and sing at the same time and this version was FLAWLESS. i'm still learning to play this song, its the chorus that messes me up but dave makes it look so easy
Incredibly difficult indeed
Slight fuck up around 2:39pm but revovers
I find that if you constantly do downstrokes (mute the strings when not playing a note), it helps you with the rhythm in the verse
Beautiful, Perfect, Incredible song
I love hearing this version of the song...It strips away everything and takes it down to its most essential essence. It gave me a new appreciation for it, though I liked it before. Beautiful...
I love watching his left hand! Incredible :D
Thanks for adding this, I love this song!!!

"Caution to the wind then!". He is so animated. This guy is amazing
look at me dreaming of you
Laughing so in love… ❤
This is amazing.... Purely beautiful
Oh sweet jesus, I almost forgot how freaking imcredible this night was!! Thanks for posting!

i love this song.......the ending is great as well
such an awesome song
to whoever recorded this - AMAZING JOB!!! dave would SO love it!
love this song solo.
nice song it is and he plays it so well
Dave Matthews: el mejor del mundo. El diablo destructor del country, en el mejor sentido.
Beautiful, thanks Dave. :)
Love you always Davey M and Crew! Come to Burning Man 2023 Animale!@$!@$ see ya there hopesandfully
Love this song btw.
my favorite song : )
My fav!!!
crazy talent
This is THE hardest DMB song to play and sing to at the same time! Gaaaaah!
And ..... that is how it is done people !!
thanks! too true. He's the best guy.
I fn love u Dave
david gray needs to record this song
Dave is cool 😎
Best solo Dave by far
Verse is 4/4, chorus is 9/8 if I'm not mistaken.
@DMB41TwoStep .......sittin.... smoking... feeling high... are the lyrics to Crash.
It boggles my mind that he can sing a play this song so effortlessly, especially playing it by himself
captain live at the gorge is amazing.
I love the way he plays guitar...... Yeah its the pot im afraid.
Two people misclicked the the thumbs down for this video, no other explanation is plausible.
It's definatly my favorite Dave! Hey I know that sound dude! Hes in a couple of vids!
classic
Fuckin love this!
I like your name!
Dave is an alien.
its message in a bottle from Sting that this fool to think sounds alot a like. just the beginning though...
pipper, it's a british english word; hard to directly translate but the feelings it conveys are easily gathered from the rest of what he said I think.
dont hurt yourself thinking about it...
all i gotta say is that the newsest album in 2008 is probably going to BLOW all of our minds...you think that DMB doesnt know what we say about them and Stand Up or their other albums..trust me they do...and i have a lot of faith this one is going to be insane!
Well, what’d you think? Lol
it really is. The chorus is in 9/8 time which makes it so hard to sing over!
dave said in an interview that even for him it's nothing more than practice at on point..
had the same problem at the beginning..and still have it with some new songs i learn or even wrtie myself..
but you'll get to this point if you just practive over and over again..
he literally doesn't miss a single note in this version....virtually impossible to do
in this song he goes b then a weird c barre and in that he mutes the bottom 2. he plays these funky chords where you have the first 4 strings used only and the d is open and dampens the bottom two, usually with his index. not to hard once you get it down
"I dont care that this shirt makes me look like i tits". HAHAHHA fucking AWESOME
It's a D. The chorus is just a I-IV in D major. The verses wrap around a couple modes
I don't care.. He is good! Great! Awesome!
i can see that yes
How do I get a copy of this show?? Please help me!
the magic in his right though
DVD? Of this solo concert? How do I get it???? I'm serious
Anyone else here in 2023?
Time signature, anyone?
@goldenmen24 ahh yeah sorry my mistake... crush is such a good song!!! so is crash!! haha DMB rocks... have you heard Angel?
i don't think the riff is from the police but it sounds similar to message in a bottle. many people have talked about that before.
Yes it is;)
Is he doing Tarentino at the beginning?
How do I get a copy as well?
can anyone tell what chord he is ending on?
blow, look at how he touches his nose a bunch and keeps moving his mouth around and stuff, funny.
@clcsqueejy04 Its a simple song. There are only 2 parts to it. Its just getting it up to tempo that is a struggle for me.
@beanmongrel And to play drums to. When I hear Dave playing these songs by himself, I wonder WTF went through Carter's head. LOL!
The riff is from the "police"
Please someone inform me as to what crazy time signature this song is in!?!?!? I can't play it because it is so weird. I think there is a change between the two riffs also? HELP!
I think you meant bottles my mind
what does he say after "i don't know why"?
I'm 14 years late, but he says "I don't know why... I want to do it"
