[Upgrade] - Dave Matthews (Solo) - 9/29/02 - [Full/60fps] - Victor Steinbrueck Park - Seattle, Wa 

If there were ever an artist to inter in the Smithsonian, he'd be the one

Who influenced his style is my question.

Amazing story teller/songwriter as well

Jesse Enger South African music partly. He lived there for a time.

@@jesseenger9614 i know this is way past when you asked and you might not see this. But Dave really had a bunch of Influences. He actually talks about it alot in different charity concerts and videos where he actually gets to play with some of his heroes or those he looked up to. One of the biggest influences he had as a kid, along with almost every other musician at the time, was the Beatles. Dave loved the beatles and if you didnt know dave is a true artist at heart. He did some amazing drawings, some of which included the beatles in his younger years.

At that time, Dave played the HD-28, if I'm not mistaken...? The D-41 is awesome, as well!

no worries

I dont think folks realize the amount of skill and musical knowledge it takes to play jazz and especially if you're improvising during the songs like they do. That shit aint easy

It looks like his wife. I forget when but he had twin girls first and then his son a few years after that, so who knows.

no

Looks like it

yes

dmbfannh the speaker monitor was way to loud. It’s pointed at the singer so he can hear the instruments he’s playing in larger venues where you’ll have difficulty hearing it. Hear it’s so quiet so there was no point in him having the guitar so loud.

I believe that guitar has a fuller sound, but somehow the engineer didn’t let us hear it. Live would have been a different story.

xPaQx my guess would be it’s his custom Martin that carries a unique ID, if you Google it , im sure you’d find it

Martin HD-28V (the red tortoise pick guard is how you know that its a Vintage Series. They cost about $3000.)

Actually I think its his signature series with his being modeled off the Martin-HD28 (same body style, different inlays on the fret board)

Martin DM3MD. It's his signature series guitar - or at least I believe it is.

I have a D-35, the one Dave is playing seems to me like a D-28.

CORRECT Sir!!!
