Genre: rock, pop, adult contemporary
1)FOR STRUMMING PATTERN: I'd suggest choppy for the 1st B minor of each verse
line and
smooth for the E with the second B minor and F sharp being fairly brief and
changing. For
the verse keep it smooth but for the progression of D, Dsus2 and Dsus4 at the
end this
should be a quicker flourish. For the bridge keep the strumming rhythmic but
emphasise the
first beat and let the D to D7 be a more freely/quickly strummed progression.
2) WHERE I'VE PUT E*: basically play a D chord but two frets up, this is
still an E
but it just sounds more like the piece
3) Where I've put an F# I believe this to be an F chord but up 1 fret.
4) Feel free to mess around with E7 a bit in the verse as a flourish at the
end of the
E, this isn't in the piece, but it's a nice embellishment. As is using a
second Dsus2 to
get back to the verse from the chorus.
5) Enjoy the piece! This should be fairly accurate as it's based on live
video footage
and a seasoned ear, but by all means dabble yourself and send me any
suggestions or
messages on twitter (@SmallGardenBird)p.s get a kazoo for the 'doo' bits!
