I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 yrs. Became a Dave fan in the late 90’s, about 5 yrs or so after I started paying. I was hooked. I can play most of his songs. I love the unique chords and progressions and over the years I still love to pick up my acoustic and play some Dave songs. Real music that evokes emotion. Love his shows. Seen him over 40 times. Really cool you’re doing this video. Appreciate you.
Dave plays guitar like a drummer, that's what makes him so unique. There's few strumming hands out there with such a fantastic rhythm to them. You want proof? Imagine playing with Carter Beauford as your drummer...best be sure you need to step up
SRV, Elliott Smith and now Dave/Tim?! You’re on fire! Man, Dave is one of my all time favourite players! Great riffs and his timing is impeccable. Some of his stuff is so challenging to play; let alone sing and play. He doesn’t get enough credit from guitar players.
I’ve been hopelessly addicted to playing and knowing every one of Dave’s tunes since 1996. Very much to my guitar-playing detriment I might add, as far as the basic, rudimentary lead guitar basics are concerned. I like to sneak in and sit in the back of the “class” on channels like these every so often, desperate to one day shake this addiction. I bought my first electric guitar a couple years ago - that’s progress! lol. But it was a pleasure to see someone like you, with an encyclopedic knowledge of the fretboard, breakdown one of Dave’s top 5 staple tunes. Thank you!
Dave definitely doesn't get enough credit in guitar circles. I'm always recommending some of his songs to *newer* guitarists learning finger independence, like this one, So Much to Say, Lie in Our Graves, Two Step. He's also a great into to alternate chord shapes/voicings.
Really had fun following your breaking down this performance. I love Dave Matthews and DMB. Dave and Tim are always epic. I've been playing a little over 25 years, and Dave is definitely a major influence on my playing and my taste in music. Anyway, I’ve been following your channel for a year or 2 and really enjoy what you do. Thanks!
my fav Dave Matthews Band song.... I love the version they performed at the Central Park concert most. and his south african side comes out when he sings.
Dave and Tim are some of the best live guitar performers in modern times. They complement each other so well, and they're nearly flawless. The way Dave adds the percussive rhythm to his playing when he's solo is really impressive.
Dave’s uniqueness is rooted in the talent he displays singing a melody over a crazy time guitar rhythm that has little to do with the melody. It isn’t easy to do!
Always enjoy so much about Dave Matthews, whether he’s with a full band, with Tim Reynolds, with someone else, on his own…okay, I guess I really love his stuff!😊 And another superb lesson from Michael. Thank you!
I'm surprised you've not heard this one Mike. If you really want a stretch - do "The Stone". Same idea, just friggin brilliant orchestration. Great breakdown videos, keep it up please
Absolutely excellent breakdown of two o the best accoustic grungeing artist alive!!! Punching fire in the creation of deep feeling music....of which Dave is so horribly overlooked for. Anytime you get these guys together....they are harboring a raging wildfire of accoustic playing. Thank you once again for your professional analysis good brother : you are always very much appreciated here. Be well - stay well , ron
Great to see the Live at Luther College version of Warehouse, always the best version! Tim is the best accompanist there is! Nobody fills in like him, he makes Dave sound like a full orchestra, its an insane sound they create. Only Dave can go from Middle Eastern sounds to Pop and then end with a Salsa groove haha, unreal.
I watched a video of some comedian cracking on Dave Matthews fans and their (our) cargo shorts and flip flops the other day. Thanks for reminding me he's still a badass.
I dig the Live At Central Park version of this song. You really get to see how great of a BAND they are. That group of musicians playing together are probably tighter than any other band I’ve ever heard.
Yeah the stretches & odd changes, man. I remember starting to learn some Dave songs when I was a kid and deciding it was impossible. 20 yrs later it’s still tough sometimes.
Love this! I played bass in a touring DMB Tribute band for several years, and Warehouse was always a favorite for the audience and tons of fun for the band to play. Dave's songwriting and guitar playing are so underrated, especially on songs like Warehouse that sound relatively "easy" on the surface.
great watch. just as an FYI warehouse is maybe the biggest fan favorite song dmb has (their fan club is called the warehouse). hearing it dave and tim is actually kind of rare, the full band performances are more well known, especially with the stop time intro and salsa outro. worth watching the central park version if you get the chance. this song is massive! would love to see the stone reviewed at some point! - theres a great solo version from charlie rose show!
James here. First time to the channel. I’ve been “trying” to learn guitar for over 20 years. Time is my biggest enemy! If I somehow find a bunch of time, I will look you up. Really enjoyed the video and your vibe!
24:45… this is also something he messes with lyrically a lot. A Dave song that musically sounds fun and upbeat and happy will often have dark lyrics and a song that musically sounds down and dark will often have hopeful, happy, upbeat lyrics
In a Stern interview, Dave said he came up with riffs like that by trying to copy the big stretches he saw Robert Fripp doing in King Crimson. He said he never could figure out what Fripp was doing but he liked the sounds he was finding while he tried.
It's funny, I went to UNC-CH in the early 90s, and DMB used to play fraternity parties on campus at the time, since they were based in Charlottesville, VA. We used to pass around a cassette tape of all the songs from Remember Two Things before it was actually released. It was a phenomenon on campus. I met and hung out with some of them a few times in that period. Of course, over the next year they blew up and we no longer a regional, east coast band, and I haven't really listened to them in 25-30 years now, but it's cool to relive those moments through this video. Oddly enough, I just realized I had never actually seen Tim Reynolds until today, even though I could play all these songs on the guitar decades ago.
Dave and Tim are by far one of my all time favourites, you gotta react to "Betrayal" by Tim Reynolds, it's just him and the acoustic, very powerfull song!
I would love to see your take on Warren Haynes with Dave Matthews Band on Cortez the Killer . Warren is one of the best guitar players ever and the band just kills it on this version .. Buddy Strong on the keys ... Carter Beauford on the drums .. Stefan on the bass .. it's really epic. ruclips.net/video/lYrD2SthaMU/видео.htmlsi=uwPTak1puWQ_Bopv
The setlist websites refer to that entire instrumental/vocal scat as the "Passion intro." Stemming from the chord progressions and vocals Peter Gabriel's - Passion
Great breakdown! Speaking of acoustic badasses, I feel like Travis Meeks from Days Of The New deserves more study. He made his first album at 17 and evolved in every way over three albums.
Have you ever done All Along the Watchtower by Michael Hedges. Daves version is a direct reimagining of it. I'd love to see you compare the two somehow.
Hi Michael, in your first pause to breakdown the sound, you mentioned a major chord. Silly question, what's missing that keeps the chord from sounding "bright", like I'm accustomed to a major chord sounding?
Ahhh! I'm trying to get ready, but I "can't help myself." I love your Take on Dave and your alysis of the musical structure, we're home is, etc., But to be able to correctly interpret it, you need to first listen to the recorded version. First because, although Dave did play guitar on that album, what you're hearing is Tim and second because it really lays out the song structure stop playing the riff in single string 16th notes, Jaco style. Well, kind of but not really. For his entire career, Dave has pretty much worked year-round every year. He tours with Dave Matthews Band, then tours with Tim and not so much anymore, but he used to also tour solo. This song has evolved and been through so many subtle changes over decades, just like every other song they play, so what both of them are playing- especially Tim, changes every night and will sometimes completely change from tour to tour. This isn't very articulate because I'm trying to rush it but, I've heard Dave speak about his guitar playing too many times for my own good and the way he plays is based off South African influences in wanting to have a rhythmic presence even more so than one does when playing an acoustic guitar. To achieve that he rarely plays more than three notes at a time and mutes the rest to get that percussive sound. A lot of the time this is also accompanied by an open string that rings out through the changes. This is what formed the way he plays his chords and everything else. He is all about rhythm and might actually be the only person that solos worse than I do. You're on the Tim solo right now and he is more than improvising, he plays a completely different guitar solo every night on the same song. Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a mess but when it hits its something that I can't comprehend I'm coming across like a know-it-all trying to type this out like a maniac so I'll try to come back and say something less nonsensical and more concise another time. I do hope you read this though because I really want to recommend that check out: "Eh Hee" RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL You mentioned that tribal feel so, as a person who's been obsessed with Dave Matthews for 25 to 30 years NOW, and that's not something I'm bragging about, please, PLEASE give it a listen if you haven't already and I guarantee you that you won't regret IT! Sorry for all the typos. EH HEE DAVE AND TIM RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL 😎 🎶
![Guitar Teacher REACTS: Tommy Emmanuel "Classical Gas" [Mason Williams]](/img/1.gif)
Dave is WAY underrated as a guitar player. His timing is different than most. Crazy Talent!
I love the shape of his chords
And there it is… our daily use of the word “UNDERRATED” 😒
Dude has been lauded as a talented guitarist for 30 years. Not sure he is underrated anymore
Absolutely. Anyone of his songs I have learned have murdered my hand. He makes it look so effortless but they are far from easy
@@jocimardominguezpfft.
Appropriate use underrated.
Nobody ever says Dave is a great guitar player.
And he most definitely is.
Please fall down the Dave rabbit-hole on this channel. Tons of crazy unique fingerings and time signatures in his music.
Yes, please do!!
Dave Matthews on Charlie Rose 1999 would be suhweet
The live at Luther version is the ultimate for any Dave and Tim
My favorite Dave album! So good with Tim. ❤
THIS ^^^^ Tim Reynolds is ridiculous
Luther is my FAVE!!!😍
Stream on Live at Luther is just incredible
My top album of all time. I have a RSD edition vinyl that I haven't brought myself to unwrap.
Dave’s playing that riff while full strumming and muting all other strings for that unique sound is so good. Something I will forever chase.
I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 yrs. Became a Dave fan in the late 90’s, about 5 yrs or so after I started paying. I was hooked. I can play most of his songs.

😂
Love those guys. 🤣 Also love Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. They are pretty good too!

I never comment on these videos but I’m currently going through a divorce and your videos are about the only reprieve I get and I thank you sir 🙌🏻
music saves
Hang in there, bro! Been there. Things get better.

Dude DO LIE IN OUR GRAVES
RADIO CITY. Him and Tim wer amazing!!!!!!! Best coolest guitar EVER!
PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THISNOME SOMG!!!
As as 30 year DMB fan Lie in Our Graves is top 3 - #41, .....too many

I have a channel where I specifically teach Dave Matthews songs on guitar and this guy is so much better than me 😅 love it, man!
You are great at what you do! It’s your breakdowns that helped me learn a number of Dave’s songs that I gave up on years ago. Thanks and keep it up!
@@aaronmoore54 thanks, Aaron! I do my best!
Yup, thanks to Carson I finally figured out You Never Know. What a great tune!
Carson you do an awesome job man, I need you to do a tutorial of “Snow Outside” sooner or later! 😉
coming soon!
Dave and Tim are some of the best live guitar performers in modern times. They complement each other so well, and they're nearly flawless. The way Dave adds the percussive rhythm to his playing when he's solo is really impressive.
I saw the two live in a theater the sound coming through the sound system felt unreal
Dave’s uniqueness is rooted in the talent he displays singing a melody over a crazy time guitar rhythm that has little to do with the melody. It isn’t easy to do!
I saw Tim Matthews in a small bar in Key West. Insane talent
Is that Dave and Tim’s offspring? ;)
@@DaveSwart doh. Yeah. I fucked that up. I'll leave it cause it is 🤣🤣🤣
Noice
Man I wish you did Bartender from Radio City, the looks he gives in that venue were so pure and deep. Keep the videos coming, love em.
That “Bartender” performance is transcendent.
Always enjoy so much about Dave Matthews, whether he’s with a full band, with Tim Reynolds, with someone else, on his own…okay, I guess I really love his stuff!😊 And another superb lesson from Michael. Thank you!
Awesome. So glad you decided to do one of their songs together. They’re pretty damn impressive together and a couple of my favorites.
my first CD i ever purchased was "Live at Luther College" and my lands did it blow my mind and make me a fan for life.
That is an incredible first CD to purchase! It was my first vinyl!
I'm surprised you've not heard this one Mike. If you really want a stretch - do "The Stone". Same idea, just friggin brilliant orchestration. Great breakdown videos, keep it up please
Thanks!
Your musical commentary and knowledge is next level. I’m confident nobody follows, but equally as confident all are very impressed. 👏🏼 😂 bravo!
Absolutely excellent breakdown of two o the best accoustic grungeing artist alive!!! Punching fire in the creation of deep feeling music....of which Dave is so horribly overlooked for. Anytime you get these guys together....they are harboring a raging wildfire of accoustic playing. Thank you once again for your professional analysis good brother : you are always very much appreciated here. Be well - stay well , ron
It’s so nice to hear a song on acoustic guitar rather than electric! The change pleases my ears!
These two are the best!!! Seeing them in Cancun 3 nights on the beach the best!!!
So jealous! Really wanted to go to that one.
Great to see the Live at Luther College version of Warehouse, always the best version! Tim is the best accompanist there is! Nobody fills in like him, he makes Dave sound like a full orchestra, its an insane sound they create. Only Dave can go from Middle Eastern sounds to Pop and then end with a Salsa groove haha, unreal.
Love your facial expressions when Dave goes other-worldly. That's how I feel Everytime I listen ❤
I watched a video of some comedian cracking on Dave Matthews fans and their (our) cargo shorts and flip flops the other day. Thanks for reminding me he's still a badass.
As a big time Dave fan, that video had me howling. 😂 Dave rocks.
I dig the Live At Central Park version of this song. You really get to see how great of a BAND they are. That group of musicians playing together are probably tighter than any other band I’ve ever heard.
0:15 Tim Matthews and Dave Reynolds! hahaha!! :D
Hahahha
Two of my favorites. I like these guys, too, though.
They are great together so it's fitting
And on the DAY Dave Matthews Band was announced to go into the Hall of Fame. Perfect day to review some Dave Matthews grooves! 🎸
he plays like this AND sings well... such a great musician
I wouldn't say he sings well, but yeah....
@@sixstrings2it’s not objectively bad, it’s incredibly unique and different compared to what is considered good nowadays
Check out their version of “Bartender” from Radio City. Tim with the slide is on fire.
Their Live at Luther College acoustic performance is probably my favorite live album of all time. Unreal
I’m not a guitar player at all but when you break it down, it sounds like one sweet world.
Yeah the stretches & odd changes, man. I remember starting to learn some Dave songs when I was a kid and deciding it was impossible. 20 yrs later it’s still tough sometimes.
This is my favorite DMB song. Love the D+T version from 3/14/99
I’m learning The Stone, and the singing while playing is my Everest
Love this! I played bass in a touring DMB Tribute band for several years, and Warehouse was always a favorite for the audience and tons of fun for the band to play.

Dave is one of the goats and Mike Palmisano always reminds me that I have a lot to learn lol. Great video MIke
The dudes eyes opened WIDE when Tim started the solo @ 18.05. Great review sir!
I’ve been waiting for you to do them!!
James here. First time to the channel. I’ve been “trying” to learn guitar for over 20 years. Time is my biggest enemy! If I somehow find a bunch of time, I will look you up. Really enjoyed the video and your vibe!
I wish watch every single dave episode in the future. Without a doubt
24:45… this is also something he messes with lyrically a lot.
A Dave song that musically sounds fun and upbeat and happy will often have dark lyrics and a song that musically sounds down and dark will often have hopeful, happy, upbeat lyrics
In a Stern interview, Dave said he came up with riffs like that by trying to copy the big stretches he saw Robert Fripp doing in King Crimson. He said he never could figure out what Fripp was doing but he liked the sounds he was finding while he tried.
And Dave has managed to make a fortune messing with chord shapes lol.
My second favorite Dave song (after Two Step). Even tho I don't play guitar, it's cool to see you break it all down.
wow great breakdown strong work Mike!

Playing and singing along to Dave’s “satellite” is impressive. Try that one out! Classic DMB
I've always loved TMB but Tim Matthews and Dave Reynolds Live at Luthier is where i really extra deeply fell in love.
I would love to see your take on Warren Haynes with Dave Matthews Band on Cortez the Killer . Warren is one of the best guitar players ever and the band just kills it on this version .. Buddy Strong on the keys ... Carter Beauford on the drums .. Stefan on the bass .. it's really epic.

Travis Meeks my guy……you have to go down that rabbit hole…..
Probably the most genius of the musicial savants of the 90’s, and beyond
Timmmmmaaayyy!
Dave and Tim are amazing together. Could do videos on anyone of their songs together
These two…
Great video!
The song “Bartender” at the same concert is mesmerizing
The one at Radio City is my favorite.
@@erock81487 that I what I thought this concert was!
Bartender live at Folsom Field in 01' is the mountain top for me.
My head was adding the DMB horn section from the live shows I've seen. Soooo good. Kinda a calypso style right?
The setlist websites refer to that entire instrumental/vocal scat as the "Passion intro." Stemming from the chord progressions and vocals Peter Gabriel's - Passion
Warehouse is the shit!
Dave is a genius
Understatement of the century
Bright Eyes - Gold Mine Gutted live!!!!!
Such a great tune
have we seen "The stone" live solo yet? Because if not, it's a crime to not see!!
Great breakdown! Speaking of acoustic badasses, I feel like Travis Meeks from Days Of The New deserves more study. He made his first album at 17 and evolved in every way over three albums.
Got the Taylor out! Tribute to old Dave?? Great review and big fan of your page.
Will you do the stone already
I would love to see your review and breakdown of Tim's infamous one note solo on 'lie in our graves' at Radio City.
Would love to see Plasticities | Andrew Bird | From The Basement
5:09 Michael lowkey playing some RHCP
At 12:05 you end up playing "You Never Know" by DMB
Have you ever done All Along the Watchtower by Michael Hedges. Daves version is a direct reimagining of it. I'd love to see you compare the two somehow.
Check out You Are My Sanity off the Radio City performance from those two. So good
Back in my DMB listening days we referred to it as Dave doing his "monkey chatter" haha
geniuses... pure geniuses..
I was there….it was awesome
More Dave Matthews (+Band or Tim) :)
Hi Michael, in your first pause to breakdown the sound, you mentioned a major chord.
Silly question, what's missing that keeps the chord from sounding "bright", like I'm accustomed to a major chord sounding?
placement and only playing two notes of the chord??
thats my guess but not really sure either lol
@@Fishwick_61you’re correct. A chord fragment inversion doesn’t sound as bright or boxy as standard root position major chord
if you get the chance, see him at the gorge in Washington
Is there still a way to signup for a lifetime membership to guitargate?
You’ve done Radio City, right? The entire show is worth checking out.
I would say the best Dave and Tim version of Warehouse is from the Live at Luther College release
I just ordered an Uber for my 2 guitars. They left the house via the back-door. I am done.
I just started playing guitar 27 years ago and my gear just posted themselves on Craigslist .
Can you take a look at "body goes down" by Duncan Sheikh!
Tim has been known to use an Octave pedal as well.
Try Dave's Captain, near impossible fingering.
Tim Matthews and Dave Reynolds!!??
I caught that too haha
You need to do Led Zeppelin Dazed and Confused from Madison Square Garden 1973
Note to self: tune up before song begins.
He shouldve watched dancing nancies, now that one is incomprehensible
