help

When i saw this topic I thought it was going to be the chords for the beatles song HELP, lol, na, just kidding.

I play hotel yorba, I have never wrote down a strumming pattern for any song though. I just do it and seems to be right,

but try start strumming the chord G on the word "watching"

I also find that I dampen the some of the strumming on the chords C and more  definetly D chords.

sorry this is the best I can give and hope it helps.

I am not very good at writing down strumming patterns, if I tried I would be here all night. I can read music a little which is a little better than paul macca when he started and look how rich he is <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">  so there is hope for us all  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">

( rpobably not, and I was not bringing down his abilitlies for songwriting, he is a genius, especially that he could not or cannot read music)

dampen means to play the notes but not to let them ring out. a fw ways to dampen the sound, using the hand you strum with once strummed or about the same time you mute the sound with the hand, or the fingers you use for the chords, lift them up a bit so the sound is not ringing.

hmmm, hard to explain on text
