Dave Matthews Guitar Lesson - Hudba
This is really an amazing song and guitar arrangement. Dave always amazes me with his chordal melodies and great rhythm lines.
Thanks for the comment Michael!
Just stumbled upon this channel. As an avid Dave Fan...your a legend. I always chuckle when guitarist, or musicians shit on him...not having a clue how hard, and unique his arrangements are. Good stuff my friend. I also think the D chord ring finger goes on the 5th string. The same as seek up? That would be my guess...
Thanks so much Rocky! I'm glad you found the channel!
This is the best breakdown and the closest to how Dave is playing
Thanks Jeremy! Getting it as close to how it's actually played is what I was hoping for
You nailed it man! This is so good. I tried this years ago and quickly gave up. I think I’m ready for it again. This is such a great unique song
Thanks Matt! I hope this lesson points you in the right direction on it!
THANK YOU! Finally, someone has the chorus closer to being accurate. The song is almost 30 years old and Dave has played with the same chord progression and voicings the entire time. Yet, everyone always thinks the chords start as barred A -> barred C#m -> abbreviated F#m -> barred C#m.
It's not what Dave is doing or has ever done. I've only ever found ONE person's video online of their cover where they used the chord voicing Dave does. And you are the ONLY online tutorial who doesn't teach the second C#m as a barre. Bravo.
However, I'm not entirely certain your chord is correct, but I'm not entirely certain my opinion is correct either. The chord you play would be an A/C# if you play it as:
e--- X
B--- 5
G--- 2
D--- 2
A--- 4
E----X
That's not a shape Dave has historically used before and doesn't show up in any other songs. Any avid Dave guitar fan knows he does utilize plenty of uncharacteristic chord shapes and they tend to show up in other tunes throughout his catalog.
It's pretty much impossible to tell from a video because a barre shape and a muting shape cover the same notes. But do you think its possible that he is actually play another C#m but doing it as:
e --- X
B ---5
G ---X
D ---2
A ---4
E ---X
Similar shape as his Em in Spoon and chords he uses in the chorus for Granny (which was written in that same era).
Regardless, outstanding work and here are some clips to show him playing it the same since the beginning.

Thanks for the comment Jonathon! I definitely considered the possibility of what you’re suggesting with the G string being muted instead of barred when I was relearning this song for the tutorial… but I still hold firm on it being a barre with both the 4 and 3 string 2 fret in there... (not that it really matters at all).
BUT, here’s my case for x4225x as opposed to x42x5x
1… We can clearly see the knuckle on his first finger locked into place for the purpose of a barre that would grab both strings. For reference, check the transition to the E chord that follows shortly after as an 022400… that 22 barre on strings 5 and 4 is happening in the same way as the x4225x barre is. There’s no reason to lock that knuckle except for the purposes of barring those two strings.
…As opposed to a bent first knuckle shape (also a common usage for him) that we see in songs where the intent is to fret a string while muting the string directly behind it (like we’d see if it was x42x5x). We see this finger shape in songs like Crash Into Me when he's wanting the 2nd fret of the 5 string to ring out but not the open 4 string behind it.
And 2… the 2 fret of the 3 string is simply audibly ringing when he plays the 4th chord of the chorus. You can hear it without looking at what he’s playing. It’s probably most easily heard in the 8/10/1994 solo gig version.

@@TimGuitarLessons Great stuff! I absolutely love this type of in-depth, detailed analysis. You've convinced me. Now, all I gotta do is retrain my muscle memory!
Awesome! Thank you!!! (I honestly thought you were the 8 Bit guy for a second just by your voice :D)
Thanks for the comment Robert! I'm not sure who the 8 bit guy is though!
Such a great tune! Thanks bro 🎸🎸👍
Sure thing!
That A Good Work My Friend !! Have A nice day and see you !!!!
For that hard E major voicing (around 13:50), an easier way for me to fret this chord is to bar the 4th fret of strings 1-4 with your index finger, middle finger on the 5th fret of the B string, and ring finger on the 6th fret of the D string - that felt way less crowded to me - if anyone has trouble replicating tims way this might help. i love this song and its chord progressions and voicings. so damn cool
That makes sense
Can you do blue ruin by mandolin Orange
Hey Tim, the chord you’re discussing at 14:30. You nailed it, it looks like you and Dave form it that way. But a doofus like me just makes a C sharp minor (baring on the 4th fret, excluding the low E string) shape except I lift my my pinky. I mean 6 and one-half dozen, right? Am I missing something? ...gotta be missing something.
No, you're not missing anything. Honestly, it's kind of ridiculous that he makes the chord that way. The most sensible way to play it is to simply shape it as a standard C#minor7, which is how you described yourself as playing it. I've seen a handful of examples of Dave playing it as just a standard C#minor barre chord instead of this 4 fingered inversion thing... but the "original" and "most common" chord Dave uses here is the weird contorted fingering. Which, when I'm playing it for fun sitting on the couch I'm just playing a C#minor. I did it this "Dave" way for the lesson simply for the purposes of getting it as accurate to his playing style as possible.
@@TimGuitarLessons oh dude you’re 100% on the money as always. ...just Dave and his lifelong pursuit in giving us carpal tunnel LOL
I'm afraid we're all headed there with out hands... I'm not looking forward to it at all
@@TimGuitarLessons hey, he’s still playing strong
Hard enough to learn, how in the heck did he write it and sing along?
Hahaha great question
His guitar has great tone, I wonder if he is plugged into an amp?
Are you asking about the guitar Dave Matthews plays on a certain recording of Best Of What's Around? Or are you asking if the guitar I'm playing in this guitar lesson is going through an amp?
Tim I was referring to the tone of your guitar
Oh! Well thanks! No it's not going through an amp, just mic'd with a condenser
@@TimGuitarLessons what guitar is it? I play a Martin and it sounds similar
@@InAtlasAtLast This is a Martin HD-35 that I'm playing here
Duude please stop
I don’t get it?
@@TimGuitarLessons me either
