  1. So I'm split on this because as a beginner I LOVE DD because it gives me the motivation to play a song and it is fun to feel a bit of success and rock along with a song even though you're only playing every few seconds. That said, I think at times DD does a disservice to the new player because of the way it shows notes. When I start a song, I find myself using one finger, the same finger, to hit all the notes it shows me. But then as DD ratchets up, I suddenly realize I can't do that and have to relearn the muscle memory to accommodate other fingers. Then I have to do it again when I realize these aren't individual notes or even combinations of notes but full chords I should have learned. So then I have to learn again. DD would be better if, for chords anyway, they showed you the full chord, but just included a couple of them at the beginning and moved up from there. So, first pass through, I'm doing a few individual notes, and a single chord whenever it shows up. Next tier up, I'm doing more individual notes, and maybe two chords, etc. Hope that makes sense. I'm just saying, for instance, in Blitzkrieg Bop, there's no reason not to start with the powerchords. They're just as "difficult" as individual notes, so why not show them from the beginning....just ease us into using more than one.
