YGS - American Girl - Tom Petty - Beginner Acoustic Guitar Lesson

[lovemusiceveryday]

wats the strumming pattern 4 this song ?

[tompetty1976]

You look sleepy in that video. heehee

It's D, Em, G, A in (d,d,u). open tuning no capo.

At least that's how Tom plays it...There is some kind of B in the chorus on "Make it last all night" but you can just use an A. I think the A sounds better if you're in a hurry.

Awesome song indeed! I'm having some difficulties with this particular strumming pattern, though. Every time you start strumming like that I go "Noooooo! Not that one!" XD One day, I'll get it right and I will be able to play a lot more cool stuff. Only, you know... not today... ;-)
