I know SOOO many questions have been asked about this song, but I have now succesfully learnt this the wrong way, and am confused about what John is exactly doing during this song. If anyone could answer these questions for me I would be most grateful:
1) What is the rhythm of the hitting on the wood part of the guitar? And how is he exactly hitting it?
2) I am confused as to what the thumb is doing as well. The way I play it now, the thumb stays on the 6th string where it does the tapping, but even when I try to approximate the wood tapping it feels like I should move it.
That should be about it. On the first question, a recording with really loud hits would be most helpful but ill take whatever I can get. Thank you in advance to anyone who can take the time to help me.
Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It's not like we're talking quantum physics here.
There was a video somewhere with a person who had tabbed the song out (Johns version is actually kinda wrong) and he did a great video, I still cant play it right, but its funt o watch. Hopefully someone will know what Im talking about and have it to send to you.

No, this is a video someone made of themselves, with the camera focused directly on his hands, slowed down at times, it would help a lot but I still dont have the desire to sit down and try to learn it because its damn hard and dont care that much.
