No we can't help. Get an acoustic version, read the tab & you should be fine. That's how 99% of us learned it. Sorry man but that's the truth.

It's actually a fairly easy song to play. The intro is similiar to Typical, the verse is fairly easy, & the chorus is standard chords (I believe).

hey dude

i had a lot of problems with the intro alone to this song. at first, it was hard for me to get my pinky down on the 12 on the D string. i'd always hit right on the fret. my advice to you, as far as getting the intro down is to just keep trying to squeeze your pinky in there. also, as far as the picking goes, try alternate picking if you haven't already. takes a bit of practice, but works wonders.

cheers and good luck!

That's something we can't teach him though. Stretching of the fingers only comes with personal practice.

In all honestly, how are we going to help him find the beat? That's why I said we can't help him.

like i said, you've got a good point i would say get typical down first, then move on to seek up. atleast you'll get the picking down.

[andreasolsson]

i have no problem with the stretch or so.. its just that i cant get the beat.. i've found different tabs. like this one: http://ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/d/dave_ ... up_tab.htm
i think its sounds better than the tab on this site...
i'll jsut have to practice then..
thanks anyway

[smedley]

i can't make a video, but if you can tell me what you are struggling with i can throw up an audio clip for you

[andreasolsson]

great! an audio clip of the intro would be great.... i would like the intro he plays in the live at luther college version.. i dont really know if its the one thats on this site, but i dont think so.
it would be nice if you could do the verse at the same time.. and maybe the chorus also.. not play the whole song just the different parts.
is it okey? it would be great!

there are techniques though. I always advize people not to try to play the song for a while. Juast listen to it many many many times with good headphones. This will help you be able to decifer the guitar from other instruments which is hard with speakers. then try and play it after you have the whole song in your head.

someone else had a really cool thing to do. He said somethign along the lines of putting a t-shirt over the strings at a certain spot. i think it was to keep down the resonance so you could deistinctively make out the rythym you are playing.
didnt try it, but it sounded like it worked for a lot of people.

[smedley]

wow, i never noticed it before, but he is playing the intro different on L@LC, he's pretty much messing around with the last chord on the "Fall back again..." part, I'll get your audio up in a bit

[Beauford33]

The song is in 3/4 so it has one less down beat then you're use to.

Good advice, I often try to play a song without the rythym in my head & it is almost impossble. I try to learn the rythym in my head over & over so that I can refernce it while playing. BUt, I still think we can't help him capture the rythym over the internet, rather he needs to listen to your advice.
