| Chorus |
This is a very nice song and its very easy to play!! Good luck!!
i really enjoy this song, nice and simple to play.
Basic Strumming Pattern is dduud once for every chord.
excellent! this was easy to understand, and presented exactly as i needed it to be.
thanks
Could anyone enliteen me with the chorus strum pattern, please. Finding it hard to pick it up.
Thanks for the lesson :)
I find its better to use AM-C-G-D, with A and D for the chorus. No upstrums needed
Great video. Just FYI, though, the song is by Tears for Fears, also covered by Gary Jules, not the other way around.
This song is amazing. So amazing that I made a 2012 cover featuring a female vocalist. Check it out, I'm giving it away as a free download: http://paulloeb.net/madworld
