Dave Matthews Band built its sound on Matthews' percussive acoustic rhythm, leaving much of the lead space to violin and sax, until guest and later full-time guitarist Tim Reynolds added fiery electric solos. Reynolds' studio cameos and his wild live improvisations gave the band its most celebrated guitar moments.
