Leviathan of Dis Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Would someone be able to explain to me how to properly play the verse? For the life of me, I can't just can't nail it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Would someone be able to explain to me how to properly play the verse? For the life of me, I can't just can't nail it down. I strum completely downstrokes using my fretting hand to sort of mute the strings/accent some strums if that makes sense. Or are you asking for a tab or something?

Leviathan of Dis Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Nope, not a tab. Learning the chords isn't the issue, it's playing them correctly thats the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I just use my thumb to try and mute top few strings which means my strumming hand cna go crazy really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam511 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I usually play 1/16 notes and using my fretting hand to either mute or play the chord to create a rhythm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaking Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 For example this section: E| 7 x x (Index) B| 8 x x (Middle) x 4 G| 9 x x (Ring finger) D| (Use thumb to mute these, A| you aren't actually hitting them E| but it's a fail safe) That's how I've always done it. I saw others using their index to bar the two upper notes and but that meant I couldn't use my thumb to mute the top strings so I do it like this: E| 7 x x (Middle) B| 7 x x (Index) x 4 G| 8 x x (Ring finger) So on and so forth. Not sure if this makes any sense. So I'll just stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan of Dis Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm just having issues with the strumming. I sound like I'm raping a penguin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If I had my guitar I'd have probably recorded it to show you clearly but sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I use my thumb over the thicker three strings too. As James said, you're not actually hitting them anyway but it's just in case. I switch between fast strumming (1/16?) and palm muted slower ones for emphasis (1/4?) depending on how I'm feeling. Also occasionally pick the strings with the opening piano melody or get a bit of whammy involved after the solo. Not that much too it really. What part of the strumming are you having problems with? As long as you're not holding the pick too tightly, it should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
