Finally Got It!!

Unread post by pdpullmn612 » Wed Apr 15, 2009 5:48 pm

Hey guys,

This is gonna sound lame but for some reason I'm really happy about it. I started trying to to play tripping billies about a year ago, but for some reason I could not even get the strumming patter for the intro (not the nature intro) down let alone the verse. Well today I decided to try and play it again. I was just messing around and I got it! And after getting this I figured out the strumming patter for Grey Street which I had struggled with in the past (strum patters are one of my weakest point). Anyways, just wanted to say that because I was so happy when I heard myself playing it the right way.

-Dave

Tripping Billies is tough. Congrats, buddy. Great feeling isn't it?

Oh yea, the verse is gonna kick my a**. It's always a great feeling getting something down after trying for so long. I was happy with the way I was playing it before, but I knew it sounded a little different it sounds so much better now.

Speaking of the verse. Does anyone know of a good tutorial video that I could use to get me started? I tried watching covers but 1) Everyone plays it different and 2) They are to fast for me to see the patterns. Any videos of it slowed down?
