@Beeehxoxo well thank you!

Hey... this video was really helpful but im struggerling to get the strumming pattern that comes in after it says 'it looks like youve seen a ghost', any help?

[gtrLegend23]

@Lankylee123 so what i did for that (and you can see this on the original video) is basically going mad on all of the strings. at "friends" and "look" you hit them once, and then just go into it hitting the strings UDUDUDUDUD. nothing too special, because that's the part of the song where everything in the story falls apart so i just play it powerfully like that, and you can mostly hear that in my performance video.

[Lankylee123]

@gtrLegend23 Thanks mate, i see in the performance you do you get it spot on. Alot of people on here just play it at flat all the way through which is what the song is not about as you can even tell from reading the lyrics this song was never meant to be played flat. Thank you for the tip and not killing the song

[gtrLegend23]

@Lankylee123 thanks, i appreciate it! good luck and have fun with it, it's still one of my favorite songs to play

[TGTF55]

[TGTF55]

[gtrLegend23]

[TGTF55]

[gtrLegend23]

@TGTF55 yep, standard tuning

Hey thanks. Awesome inst vid. I'm gonna try to learn it. They are one of my fav bands. Just saw them. They kick ass!! I'm just learning guitar, 3mos. Already saw someone ask for the strumming pattern so that helps. Thanks again. Awesome!!

[clotho23]

I love these guys. About to see them in concert in a few weeks, anyways. What is the strumming pattern? all down strum? just learning to play. I appreciate if you share this info.

Thanks again dude!!

[gtrLegend23]

@clotho23 i think i did all downstrums til the last verse which is full on hitting the entire chord kinda quickly. you can hear it in my original video of the performance

[Prieto0713]

do u think u can put it on tabs

[gtrLegend23]

@Prieto0713 found them on ultimate-guitar awhile back. relative to the capo, it's mostly variations on the E, A, and D strings using a G chord and building from there
