Question here, when you change chords, do you switch which low note you are hitting with your thumb? or is it always the low E? I'm a drummer trying to learn this song by Christmas...so I have no experiance at all, just bought the guitar today actually.

[JamPlayDotCom]

Play whatever the root note of the chord is. You don't want to play the Low e string if that is not in the chord. For instance, for the C major you don't want to play the low E string (unless you are fretting it). Generally this is also the naming note of the chord.

I wish Christmas is celebrated everyday.. ^^ Did you notice that people are more excited to celebrate Christmas than to celebrate their birthdays.. ^^ Thats my opinion.. ^^ And I also feel the same way.. ^^
