Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
after watching and more important listening to the video the guitar is tunned a half step lower and he plays an open Am form to G the bridge go's to C and G the strumming pattern I could pick up was two Downstums and then alternating its syncopated like down down up down up down up down up down down up down up down up down up I could not see his fretboard in the video but I know his guitar is tunned 1/2 step flat to 440 (standard pitch) hope this helps

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
Ou thank you very much! I have tuned my guitar 1/2 down but I don't know whats up with the strumming but I can't take it 
Is it possible to make some video lesson or something?
Would be very appreciated... u can ask what you want

Hi Intoguitar,
My advice to you ! Look at youtube. theres so many covers of this song on there.
Some easy ! some more complicated. take the easy route. Learn it .Then you can always embellish your playing with practice.
This guy is brill. But some of us have to crawl etc....
Enjoy ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY22A0UdOkM

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
Maybe I am incorrect but the rhythm pattern goes:
dum dum tee dum tee dum dum. No big deal!
We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
tuba the pattern you suggest looks like it would end on a down stroke and it feels like it should end on an upstroke to make way for the next dum dums (down stroke pattern) I played along with the video and didn't have any problems perhaps I described it different

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
if the song is listed in the Chordie index I could make a free instructional video and put it with the song

Welcome to chordie.
Old Doll.
I've learned how to play basic strumming, so it's actually possible for me to "cover" this song, but I want something interesting like this man did. It gives to the whole song different picture and meaning i think 
So awesome!!
What does "Chordie index" mean? :X Indexed in google or posted like I did?
Sorry for my bad english
P.S. This is what I get with my skills :X I know the rhythm is not ok, im just beginner.

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
I was speaking about the song index at the top of the page I listened to your video your close but there are a few missing beats in the strumming I can make a video and explain what I am doing later today and use my myspace site link just as you did the you tube address

Can you make it with all the tricky extra strumming That it would sound as close as it can be
Thank you very much!

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
that "tricky" extra sturming is called syncopation which is basic timing 1 2 and ah 1e and ah 2e and ah 1 2 and ah 1e and ah 2e and ah say it out loud and you will get an idea of the syncopation for this song but later when I am not busy with my stuff I can video tape a short tutorial and provide a link

Russ,
Here's a good video showing the diff between regular strumming and syncopation.

Re: Land down under [Strumming Needed]
intogitar I have been giving this some thought and I think Old Doll and zguitar may be the best advice for you at this point only because of where you are in your learning I am an advanced player and it would be most difficult for you to follow any video based on advanced tecniques I think it would be better for you to follow zguitar's link so you can better understand these pricipals and you may find another style from Old Dolls link that suits you
