Hey, i know this is a scooter forum but I've noticed that some of you play the guitar, and i was just wondering if any of you could workout/tell me the strumming pattern (how many times to play each chord and if and when you back strum etc.) for 'dead by April-promise me' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtPw_z8cj-Y)< that's a video of them playing it.
And here's the chords for it.-http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/dead_by_april/promise_me_acoustic_crd.htm-

Thanks, I'd really love to know this. :)

Basically 4 per Cord but looks like a quick change from g to d

I'll look at it more closely a little later- still at work over here

ok

Em- down and up stroke then right to the Cadd9, down stroke, up stroke

G to d is the same pattern


Practice playing just the Em- down stroke and a quicker up stroke and then mute with palm. Sorta like a little chunka chunka till you can create a Rhythm with just the Em and the down stroke up stroke mute

Hope this helps, hard to do in words

Thank very much! I shall try this in a minute. The pattern looks a little bit like Price tab(by jessy J).
Thankyou again. =)

Edit: should i mute after every back stroke?? or just em??

Right i've played this though a bit whilest listening to the song. This seems to sound kind of right-

Em up strum back stum then to cadd9(like you said) then mute.

And same with G to D.

Thanks once again. :)
