I am terrible at picking out strum patterns for chord progressions. Can anybody help me with the strum pattern for Where Is My Mind? I am a relative beginner and am finally comfortable with all of the different barre-chord shapes. I think I am close, but on some songs I just can't pick out the full proper patterns? Help...please
Hmm... it's hard for someone to tell you a strum pattern over the internet. You kind of just need to keep listening and practicing.
But if this helps out...
-It's in 4/4 time. -The first strum from Frank is on the upbeat -You don't start the first measure as soon as you hear Frank's guitar. It's the upbeat strum, and then it's 1 2 3 4 ...
Look at how he strums on the dvd. The first part is quite simple, but how he strums the barre A-chord is just crazy. He places his ring- and little finger on/off and on the strings. I play this song for about ten years but I've never managed to play it like he does.
As with all other songs he plays accoustically...
I'm bored with the valleys and bored by the peaks. So I bought a ticket to the freaks
yeah that A thing is annoying. I've always noticed that it didn't seem like a constant A the whole way through, but never known what he does with it. then i saw on the DVD... kinda hard!
