Blues Traveler - Run Around

I heard this song at a restruant and remembered that I used to really like it. Turns out it's only 4 chords so this is a quick cover I did after about 25 minutes of practicing.

Like the cover. I, on the other hand, am a lazy guitar player who substitutes the C with a Cadd9. Sounds very similar, although the C sounds a little better.

Also, you know that the chords to this song are the same as the chords in the chorus of "all for you" by sister hazel? With all the practice youve done on this one, you could probably kill that song too

@bargews Wow, I don't think I've ever heard that song, but I'll have to look it up. Thanks.

Do you think you could help me out with the strum pattern? I absolutely stink at trying to figure strum patterns out on my own. I pretty much use the same one for every song I play haha.

It's fairly straight forward: down, down up, up down up, up down up, up down up down. Repeat over and over and over ... the muted cords I played were all just down ... very very fast.

you sing it a tad fast ...but you play it pretty decently :)

Thanks. The song is a test in breathing control.

Hello James! This is Michiko (I met you through Steve, remember?). I watch your videos sometimes. You do great Jack Johnson covers. It would be great to meet up again. We lost contact when you changed your phone last year.
