Who can help me how to do ''beast of burden'',,,,rhYthmical,,use G-C/G-Am-F,,CAPO ON 4..
Maybe you can show or talk me in to it...

Willem,

What I got was a heavy strum on 1 that is muted right away. Then light strums on 2 and 3 and.
Play it as a 3 count.

i made some notation,,the difficult is maybe what skill we use to mute the strings,,is it just lifting the strings,,is it palm muting,,do we lay our pinky over the strings,,it is so confusing on each diffrent chord,,
please give a look at my notation..

Try this Willem;



When I was playing this to figure it out, I used a palm mute with my strumming hand. It was quick and easy. But you can use a finger mute with your pinky on your fretting hand if you like.

Oh, and I came up with 4/4 time instead. Sorry about that. I found this one online and it matched what I was getting so I used it instead of typing a whole new one.

Thanks for that Andy,,that looks a litlle ease'r,,,What we do with the rest note(mute it to i presume??)

Do not play the rests.

X = mute

X = mute

Yes,,oke then,,but is it aloud that the last eightnote sound(3 and!!) as quarter,,or does'nt it because we go the other chord,,witch is a up(4 and)

The way I read this is that you do not play the 1 because it is tied from the + of 4 on the last bar.

+ = And
X = Mute
- = Skip

- - 2 + X + - +

(Same thing written with Downs and Ups)

- - D U X U - U


Skip 1 +
Play 2 +
Mute 3
Play +
Skip 4
Play + which lasts to 1 of next bar.

You will be playing the new chord on beat 2, not 1 so it is Ok to be late in changing it. Does this help?

Andy & Willem the tie is actually a Hammer On, I have the same file in GPro and its definitely transcribed as a Hammer On

Thanks again Andy and Chas,,,i come along now i think,,,yes the first beat of the measer is hammeron(not realy,,its more a quick transition from the upbeat(G)to the C/G,..Andy it is'nt realy a tie(its a legato tie),,so you go quick from up(G),down C/G..(your right on the end of measer one it is a tie, I talk aboute two measers of the verse)..I try to make a vid from the strumming on the verse end of the week,,to see if I can handle,,thanks so far..
