Does any one know how to play this song? Just like the strumming way. I know it is easy but I can't quite get it to sound right. Any help is welcomed.

i just play it standard tuning and E, A, B, A

NPR · Post by **NPR** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 2:24 pm

That is funny it just came on the radio.

Hey Matty....do you just strum the whole thing out. Or do you do some picking?

Matty Boom · Post by **Matty Boom** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 2:31 pm

i'll write it up, give me a sec

NPR · Post by **NPR** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 2:33 pm

Thanks. You don't have any audio of you playing it do ya.

Matty Boom · Post by **Matty Boom** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 2:35 pm

Code: Select all

E         A        B       A

-0-0------0-0------2-------0----------------------
-0-0------2-2------4-------2----------------------
-1-1------2-2------4-------2----------------------
-2-2------2-2------4-------2----------------------
-2-2------0-0--2-4-2-------0-0-0-0-0--------------
-0-0--0-4--------------2-4------------4-2---------  then back to the E

something like that, joey

for those chords, you can just accent the bass notes more to try and get closer to the songs sound, and you don't really need to let the full chord sound...you're fine with a 5th or a powerchord

word
