Man Im struggling with the timing on this one too - no good .gp5 file since he doesn't have the notes and figuring out the strumming pattern is killing me. He starts out saying it is DxUDxU UUD but when he gets past the intro he doesn't follow it and I cant figure it out. Does anyone have the strumming pattern on this they could share? Thank you

anyone??? he states strumming is DxDU DxDU for intro but then in measure 12 he does something completely different and he says to accent beats 2 and 3 which based on the strumming pattern earlier done make sense since beat 2 is muted....please help (I wish he included strumming patterns in his tabs somehow)

Well I did look at the lesson, the intro, play through.......I just don't think I could explain it any better than Neil.....

However, which part of the lesson, how far into the lesson? (as in minutes and seconds, otherwise it just takes too much time to find it.)

Don't forget, there is no such thing as a fixed or just one way strummingpattern for a song. You got a measure and x beats to fill it up. Tabbing out strummingpatterns is just......hmmm......

Perfect, but work on never playing it the same way twice!
