Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows the strumming pattern for this song? I found a really good tab for it, I just cant figure out the pattern though by listening to it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

hey, theres a great jm tabs site out there, dont know if you use it, www3.sympatico.ca/g403z/. as far as back to you, I'd say listen to an acoustic version (you'll get that alot when asking about dave songs

) but if you think of the song as 4 beats, then each chord should be 2 beats, with some up strums thrown in for flavor...this may be confusing, ask me again if it makes no sense

OK I think I follow what your saying, just kind of do the strumming to my liking, playing every chord for 2 beats?

Well the acoustic and the electric versions of Back To You are very differant. but in the acoustic the up strok is important and he does a palm mute thing on the beat. LOL don't know how to explain it, but listen to the song alot and you will get it.
