@mountainpete I got the original tabs off of Chordie. The original chords are E, F#m, A, B, G#m. I changed it to G, Am, C, D, Bm. The strum pattern I came up with is D D D U D U U U D U D U. With the pinky mute or Chunk it would look like D D X U D U U U X U D U (X is the pinky mute or chunk).
@clownnamedmalesto There were two reasons I changed the chords. 1) I found this key to suit my range a bit better than the original, 2) this was the first song I learned, so the E and D chords where a struggle with the pinky mute.
It's been some time now, so pinky mute with D and E is actually easy and I find that I could hit those lower notes, just not that loud.
@supergokou haha, that's actually funny because that's the reason why I prefer G to Am, I just didn't want to seem like a rookie. Really like the video, I just find it really hard to keep the strum pattern and concentrate on singing but I'm progressing.
Rommel! Wow what a great video.. Since the first time I heard this song was when you played it at the Berkeley club, i always think of you when I hear it.. And now especially.. Loved your playing and especially seeing your beautiful family.. Keep strumming! - mary
Love the strum you put on this song! Fantastic rendition, made even more awesome with your wonderful video footage from the Big Island! Loved it! Good luck in the contest!
I very much like what you wrote to sum up the experience you had making this video. And I can see from the people you encountered that it's not just empty words. Great job on the cover as well.
@DearOldNutjob Thanks! It was such a great experience getting out there in public and playing. It really helped to connect with so many people all at the same time.
