How to play If I Die Young - Guitar Tutorial (The Band Perry)

If I Die Young Guitar Tutorial (The Band Perry)

Please notice that:
1. My guitar skills are not the best, and you're welcome to do a better tutorial
2. If you already know you to play G,D,A and Bm4 you can skip to 1:38
3. The Strumming Pattern is not a universal truth, so you can play it different ways and change it (same with palm mute).
4. The whole tab can be found at:

Thanks for watching and have a nice day:)

[mustaine566]

is the strumming pattern ddddu, dudddu or is it ddddu, duddu

[TheBandPerryFan]

@mustaine566 I play DDDDU for G and A. For D and Bm4 I play: DUDDD.

hope this helps

[thisONEguy27]

you're close dude, but still missing some stuff.

4:16, 5:15, 6:40 - listen, the chords progress (NOT Bm4) from the 'A' as such:

e 0 0 0

B 2 3 5

G 2 0 0

D 2 4 5

A 0 0 0

E x x x

if you search the song title, user 971hankfm has a video of the girl playing the song. you can see her chords perfect as well as progressions. this chick has some really good hammer-ons/pulls offs that put the icing on the song, but i can't tab all that out in this little box. see other video for guidance.

@thisONEguy27This is supposed to be an easy tutorial, so I tried to keep it as simple as possible. As you might understand that is not easy for beginners, and that is why I kept it out. (and when I made this tutorial Kimberly used to play this song a little different). Anyway thanks for your opinion, I hope you have a great dayy
