Code: Select all
Newer Intro
E:----------------
B:----------------
G:-10-------------
D:-x--------------
A:-8--------------
E:-10-------------
d u D u d u D u d u D u d u D ....and so on
d = light downstroke
u = light upstroke
D = emphasized downstroke
Muting is a VERY important part of this song (right hand). I mute all strums except for the "emphasized downstroke".
Here is an audio demonstration of how I play it. Guys, please tell me if I am wrong

How do you do the right hand muting technique, is there anyone who can help me with this? I really think that might be whats messing me up for that song cuz it never sounds perfect, plus I just wanna learn how to do it really bad.

I lay my palm / wrist slightly over the strings , that way you can still strum and keep the strings a little quiet .... try it out
