I must be too caucasian or something. I can't get the groove.

The tab on this site tab is not what Pat is playing.

I've been playing the verse for 45 mins and it doesn't sound right.

Never give up, never surrendor.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

trust me, keep on praticing. When I was trying to get it, I got so worked up over it becuase I couldn't get it, then I had a dream where I played it right, next morning before school I played it!

The fucked up thing is I can hear it in my head but I can't make my hands play it.

That drives me apeshit because I know that if I can just figure out the strumming pattern and when to mute/slap that it will sound right.

Thanks for the encouragement guys :)

Thanks man, as I said in the other thread I think I should just record how I play it and maybe you or someone else can point out what I'm doing wrong.

i'm still curious as to exactly what tab dmbguitar718 used in his video. It looks like he frets a lot more than whats on this site's tab.

whatever he plays, it sounds soooooo butter. studio recording if you will :)
