Let You Down (help me)

Unread post by elliot » Tue May 13, 2003 12:50 am

i've been playing this song for about 5 hours today and i have the chords and the basic rhythm down, but when i listen to dave play it, im missing something huge but i dont know what it is. he plays the chords but it sounds like he's fingerpicking something in between (im not talking about timmy's part). does anyone know what i'm talking about. if so, what is it that he's doing? and how do i do it?

It's probably the upstrums and the mutes, i'm not even going to try to explain cause I dont have a guitar around but im pretty sure it's that.
Think of the strums something like this....down, up, up, mute..this would be for each chord i guess.
Try that..

If i understand correctly , you might be talking about the Staccato he is doing ?
