Hi, this is my first online tab, so I've ran into a bit of a problem telling you guys how to strum in the right rhythm. For those of you who can figure it out by listening (thumbs-up), for the rest of you I'll try to explain it. he repeat this constant beat 4 times within one stroke. ----------3---x-- Each hit is 1/16, and is a constant up/down rhythm in ----------3---x-- your right hand. Up-strums being from the high e and ---4------4---x-- upwards, and down-strums being from the low E and ---5------5---x-- downwards. Up-strums: < Down-strums: > ---5------5---x-- There's no doubt that you'll get the best effect if ---3------3---x-- you can just keep a constant up/down thing going in > > < your right hand, and the just avoid strumming on the first up-strum, so that the first down-strum seems longer. All in all try to get that country-swing rhythm. G C F#(#5) ---3---- ---3--- ---x--- ---3---- ---5--- ---x--- ---4---- ---5--- ---x--- ---5---- ---5--- ---4--- ---5---- ---3--- ---5--- ---3---- ---X--- ---2--- G C G If I was a flower growing wild and free G F#(5#) G All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
