King of Carrot Flowers Part 1 (NMH cover OLD version)

https://www.facebook.com/ENOrangeLazarus Me playing Neutral Milk Hotel's King of Carrot Flowers Part 1. An awesome song by the brilliant Jeff Mangum.

for all you struggling guitarists asking me for tips on the strumming, here's an old reply I gave to a commenter.

Chords are F, A# (or Bb) C

down down down, *down up down up*, down, down up, *down up*, down down down up *down up*, down down down up *down up* keep in mind the * means you do chokes instead of actually holding the notes! Hope that helps.

and do that slowly until you have each strum in it's right place!

For all you guitarists asking me about chords/strumming. It's pretty intuitive but I know some beginners struggle so I hope this helps.

[F] down down down, *down up down up* [Bb/A#] down, [F] down up, *down up* [C] down down down up *down up* [Bb/A#] down down down up *down up* keep in mind the * roughly approximates chokes which your hand will have to develop the rhythm on its own. Hope that helps!
