Does anyone else have trouble w/the strumming on SDL?

[Stuntcheeks]

For the life of me, I cannot strum that damned song right.

I can finger the chords just fine....can't seem to find that rhythm.

Any suggestions?

I'm talking about the intro and verses.

[i-am-me]

yea i got that yesterday actually. never had tried it before. but i gave it a shot and got it. just listen over and over. but i'm not one to talk. strumming has never been a problem for me.

I find it really easy to strum..

[Matty Boom]

i had a little difficulty at first, just go slow and work it out

I have a couple versions of Dave playing it, but one more example wouldn't hurt.

Thanks.

Do you have a solo one? Preferrably one with a video...

[jsgksu]

I have trouble with it, but I havent tried it for more than a few minutes, I just end up quitting and trying something else

[DJR]

not the best clip i've ever done but it might help

hmm yea it is quite difficult to strum compared to all of Dave's other stuff. I guess the best way to describe it is like this:

Code: Select all

       vuv   v    u   v   u
E--------------------------
B--------------------------
G---9h11--9--11--9--11-
D----------x---x---x---x-
A---9h11--9--11--9--11-
E--------------------------

basically some quick strums for the 9h11's and slow it down for the 9--11 part. Its not as good as a clip but i figured i would help out anyway or at least try. This is the way I play it anyway, if im wrong someone PLZ correct me
