great lesson, learned in within minutes! say, what kind of guitar is that anyway?

[irockout1973]

It's an Ibanez S520EX.

[omfgitstimmy]

ummm whats the strumming pattern? o.o

[irockout1973]

You should be able to get that by watching my right hand in the video. If that's not clear, just remember to keep your right hand moving in a steady eighth-note rhythm. Do this by counting "1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &", and playing down on the numbers (the downbeats) and up on the "ands" (the upbeats). You'll find this strumming pattern in a lot of popular songs. I hope this helps you.

i think the appreggio part is at the g and b string. sounded weird at the b and e.

[FOBfan118]

yee thanks!

[ptythefool]

this is pretty good, i dont exactly agree with the strumming right at the beginning, and you kinda left out the 022xxx, 577xxx, x577xxx, 355xxx, part for "when you're on a holiday, cant find the words to say.." thats what rivers plays there, then it switches to the second thing you play with the 989898 910910 blah blah

This is very helpful, but this means I need 2 guitarists to play the song. :(
