strumming on Save Me

Unread post by Jay » Sat Nov 01, 2003 10:17 am

so like usual dave does the super fast all downstrokes way...at least on the MTV special...

what's the advantage? i can play it way better with downs and ups (like the 3--5 part after the G with upstrokes) than i can in cut time....and then it is easy to sing.....how do you guys play it?

plus it's more funkay. 8)

cool me too. i watched dave do it differently and assumed there was some sort of reason....but i see no difference other than it is easy.

the song is mainly downstrokes for the main G chord, and very few upstrokes. The rest of the song varies from part to part.
