Dave Matthews is renowned not just for his soulful voice and poetic lyrics but also for his distinctive guitar style that's as unique as his music itself. When it comes to Dave's guitar playing, rhythm is the name of the game.
Picture this: intricate fingerpicking patterns interwoven with percussive strumming, creating a rhythmic tapestry that's both mesmerizing and infectious. Dave's approach to the guitar is like a dance - fluid, dynamic, and full of surprises.
At the heart of Dave Matthews' rhythmic style is his incredible technique. He effortlessly strums the strings, coaxing out melodies and rhythms that are heavily influenced by African music.
One of the hallmarks of Dave's guitar playing is his use of unusual time signatures and syncopated rhythms. He's not afraid to push the boundaries and experiment with different rhythmic patterns, creating a sound that's both complex and captivating. Whether it's the infectious groove of "Ants Marching" or the laid-back vibe of "Crash Into Me," Dave's rhythmic prowess shines through in every song.

People can say what they want about him but Dave Matthews is underrated as a guitar player. Not flashy but he’s often times playing and singing over changing time signatures.

This guy looks, sounds and plays like he would be an EXCELLENT instructor/teacher.

When I was first teaching myself guitar I learned the first three DMB albums front to back obsessively. I’ve since moved on to electric blues/rock/country styles but I’ve always said the Dave stuff was probably the most challenging music I’ve ever played. Tripping Billies is insane.

Agreed, I used to know those Albums front to back. It’s been so long since I’ve even played one that I’d almost have to start from scratch

I’m kind of doing what you did in reverse. Started mostly as electric/blues based stuff. Learning DMB stuff now and it’s quite a challenge in the opposite way of lead playing!

Actually impressed yall put "Seven" in there, one of their best ever imo. So rad.

Tripping Billies, The Stone, are great but i can’t argue with your selections. What Would You Say is a fun and easy riff that would be a starting point, and Ants… is another basic one that’s fun and recognizable.

Recently, Best of What’s Around, Warehouse are all a blast to move and groove around the board and haven’t been mentioned

On Satellite, Dave also doesn’t stay confined to that fingering like you did. He slides his positioning up and down the neck. You can actually hear the fret noise as he’s sliding down and back up. That being said I play a hybrid of both the way he and you play it and it still sounds pretty much the same.

You better do some good hand stretches before attempting at home

No JTR?

Watching now… if Tripping Billies doesn’t make the cut, I’ll be very sad. It’s very tricky playing the Dave & Tim versions of that song.

What pickup do you use in your guitar?

@TomButwin 4 ай бұрын

Fishman Matrix Natural I, which they don’t make anymore. Matrix Infinity would probably the closest now!

@@TomButwin Thanks. And you run it through a P.A or an acoustic amp? If latter, which one. I like your sound.

@TomButwin 4 ай бұрын

@@HotitalianmanFor this video, I was plugged directly into a UA Apollo X4 with some compression and reverb. In live situations, I’m most often just going into a DI. For smaller stuff, I do have a couple Fishman acoustic amps I use.
