Everyday help?

Unread post by Teego Time » Thu Jul 22, 2004 2:37 pm

I've got the song down pretty well, thanks to Pats' vid. Even the funky part towards the end goes relativly smoothly for me. But what's killen me is the chorus. Its kind of the same problem as the Jimi thread, I seem to be missing notes, and simply strumming away doesnt sound right.

Any tips?

it's a matter of really slowing it down...i mean note for note... segment the song into 5 second bits...once you have each segment down really well, throw them all together and practice the chord/fret transitions... basically ya reallly just gotta simplify the song into segments...that's what's most effective for me...remember, speed and accuracy will improve with practice...
