Question
Hi:
I've never tried this expert board before, but I am looking for information about a christmas song by dave matthews.  It isn't the normal song titled 'christmas song,' but it is a medley of classical christmas extremely complicated guitar solos.  Do you know what I am talking about?  Someone sent me a copy of the song, but I don't have the title or anything.  Don't know what album it could be on.  It sounds live.  I don't know if it is actually Dave Matthews on the guitar or someone else.  Do you have any infotmation.  I can send you the mp3 of the song if you want.  Thanks for any information that you might have.  I couldn't find anything on the official or fan websites.
Thanks,
Karyl

Answer
Hi Karyl,

I do not believe this is actually Dave.  I've never heard the clip you're talking about, but based on how you described it, it does not sound like Dave.  Dave's guitar style isn't such that he would play "extremely complicated guitar solos," and I've not heard of this ever happening at a DMB concert with another guitarist, either.

Dave does have a song entitled "Christmas Song," which you appear to know about, but it's a relatively simple (guitar wise) song, with lyrics.

Hope this helps,
Andy
