Spoon question

Unread post by jsgksu » Mon Mar 10, 2003 4:28 pm

I just tried to learn this song today and the very beginning of the verse is kinda confusing me. Do you play the first 4 chords once each and switch real fast? Also that c chord sounds weird, maybe its because I dont really have the rhythm right. I dont have an acoustic version of the song on my computer but Im gonna look for one. Can anyone answer these questions or post a clip or something. Thanks.

i dont know how to say it without a clip but you dont have to switch too fast. 2 chords go together (1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th etc) those are the only ones you have to switch somewhat fast. 1st - 2nd (pause) 3rd - 4th etc... i know it wont help too much but it might.

Alright, I just cant get the beginning of this song down, I dont know why, can anyone post a audio clip or give me a more thorough tab that shows how many strums each chord for the first 4-6 chords, its really pissing me off. Thanks.

for the very first chord, i strum down then up, followed by one downstroke of the next chord. then i strum a few times for kicks on the 2nd chord. I'm not sure if this is right, but for the next chord, the 3rd one, i strum down up down up. For the 4th I strum down up down up down. Thats pretty much how the rest of it goes. Like I said before, thats just how i play it so im not sure if its right.
