Unread post by proudestmonkey41 » Sun Oct 23, 2005 7:22 pm

so i have the intro down.. and i know its not the most difficult strumming.. but it just cant figure out the strumming to the verse....to me it sounds like hes just downstroking each chord once? but it doesnt sound right when i play it. any ideas/ good versions i can use to figure it out?

i just improvise with it. basically play the intro, but less notes. blend it all together. i doubt that helped...but i tried. lol.

yeah. if you listen to any given thursday he basically just strums four or five chords for the verse and the chorus.

ive been watching the any given thursday DVD, it sounds alot deeper then the chords from the tab? also i was wondering if there is any chance of getting a video of someone playing it? jmtabs doesnt have one. and the vids on this site have been an incredible help.
