Strumming

Edit

Is this strumming pattern correct?

This is a great all-acoustic song to play, and is not that hard to play if you know most chords.
 
Capo 5th fret
 
For strumming, he does a pick strum kind of thing, with a little rhythm to it, so just
to the song and you'll eventually get it. I would also recommend using your thumb and
fingernails to strum, instead of using a plastic pick. It sounds a lot better.

Great tab, I don't know why it is rated so low. It is probably the best of all of them.

+12

nice job! Straightforward and simple. Thanks

Really really nice sounding! For strumming, do: 1. base note 2. down 3. up 4. mute 5. down The only thing is the G in this part... I would like to try something different... 5 stars though! :D [tab] D G The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky D G Are also on the faces of people passing by C G C G I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do [/tab]
