Note: You can choose play with patterns or chords below

Playing tips:

  • Before following the sequence below, please DOWNLOAD and refer to tutorial tab pdf. From the tab, if you are alert enough, you can see the strumming patterns are almost similar (with different combination of chords)
  • You can ignore the Riff A, by strumming (Verse1)Pattern A and (Verse2) Pattern C.
  • Sounds better if have another friend(gtr2) playing with you by doing Riff A while you(gtr1) playing Pattern A, C
