  • In some of JoCo's concerts for the chorus, he does E, something, Esus4, then back to E. Can you try to find out what he plays between the E and the Esus4?

    Example: "watch?v=j4TnhemCEmc&feature=r­elated"

  • He used to play it differently live as I've seen. In the video you linked me to, he's using the following chords

    E 022100

    Emaj7 02110x

    E6 022120

  • Not to complain - I love code monkey and am grateful that you did it - but couldn't we have gotten First of May today? (No I didn't think of it ahead of time either or I would have suggested it on the forums)

  • It's cool, but I already did first of may 3 weeks ago. It would've been cool to have it today but I chose the songs based on the votes from the forums.

  • i really wanted to learn this song. thnks dude

  • @deadliestsin17 strumming was the hardest part for me to understand. He does strums up on both the B/E and the A/E

    If it makes sense, it goes

    DOWN up down up, down, UP, UP, down up down up down up

    *repeat*

    that help?

  • Thanks for these lessons, Dave. They're great and they really help a lot.

  • Nice dude! Trying to learn how to play this song while teaching myself how to play guitar! its going well but i still have alot to learn XP

  • im having a bit of trouble with the strumming pattern if theres anyway you could help me out on that that would be great. I really loved your video Great work im slowly getting it down its just the strumming im having trouble with. Thanks again!
