Great tutorial, Andrew. (: I like the little intricacies of each song you find that makes it sound just like the original. Just one little thing: in the video description I think the G chord should be 3X003X instead of 3X002X.

Right you are! Thanks

Fuck when you play it @1:05 it sounds EXACTLY like when Ben plays it. Awesome.

No seriously what's the strumming pattern?! >.<

[HellCuzins]

Alright what I have so far for the strummin is G -> DD UDU F# -> DD DUDU C -> DD UUDU G -> DD UDU Then repeat that for the intro thingy. I'm a little less certain bout how the chorus goes but this is what I have so far. Cmaj7 -> DD UUDU G -> DD DUDU Cmaj7 -> DD UUDU Em -> DD UUDU C G D-> DD UDU UDU UDU The G on the chorus is a little trippy since it seems like the pattern changes a bit but this is kinda of how it goes. I'm open to any corrections. Enjoy! :P
