You are a patient teacher. My complements to you Sir. I would just like to add this; I use one finger to cover the two lowest strings on an A major in the 1st position(two fingers for 3 strings). It also works well with an E major.
Watch Kevin Cronin play this song. He is using an Open D tuning. Why else is he fretting with his thumb over the top of the neck. This is not in standard tuning which you are demonstrating here.
I found that eventually if you play a song or want to play a certain song and can’t the answer for me was elbow grease just play the notes or chords ten or twenty times each then play the song if its not right slow it down play each chord once so in this case just go through play D then A then Gdont try to get the right timing or play it just like the song yet play it slowly at first then learn your timing once that is exceptional try to do like the recorded version it wont be good unless your just a god at guitar and know everything there is to know I learned the key is elbow grease from the story of Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne with doctor my eyes if youve heard of that song its pretty good because he would play it 100 times a day and change a note or a word here and there thats what it takes to get good at anything like driving or shooting or cooking or even eating
Wrong. Watch Kevin Cronin play it. Tune to open D and Barre at 4 and 6 leaving top two strings open for G and A chords respectively. For d just fret nothing and play the whole guitar. Easy as could be.
You have spent more than half this lesson showing how to play chords but not one minute on strumming patterns or timing. Don’t you think that if someone can follow along with the timing and pick out the strumming pattern that they probably already know all the chords?
+Michael Walker Thank you! I actually play it with DU DDUD for the verse... and DU DUDU (A) DUDUD (G to D) for the chorus. I feel it accents the higher/chimey notes better. I actually had to think about it and break it down since I don't normally break my strumming down, I just do it. LOL
+Michael Lee Yes you did not have much of a Strumming pattern, the one you had did not sound right, So I thoguht to post one, I think you mean Intro on the first one? cause you have verse twice...appreciate the Clarification, to us new guys, we need that, otherwise it does not sound like what we should be doing...Thanks man...I'll give it a shot and see..

Does anyone know the strum pattern

Thank you Rich Lane - glad you liked it. Check out my channel for more stuff...
Whats the strum pattern?
Damn... I never really thought of that... I guess I, personally, go down (slight pause) down up down up ....
Go Cats!
