Note that the X in the strum pattern is a MUTE, not a dead note stroke You can play the strum pattern a few ways, but I think it sounded best when I mimicked the bass by playing the lower strings lightly muted on beats 1 and 3, and then playing the whole chord or the higher strings on all the other strokes. I just whistle the melody. [ Main Verse ] I like to alternate between G# and G#7 every other measure for this part because both fit quite nicely but you can just play one the whole time and it still sounds good. 3x: C#m G# 1 2 3 4 C#m G#7 1 2 3 4 [ Solo ] e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------| A|-6-7-6-5-m---4-------------------7-6-5------| E|-----------6-------7--m-----4-6-7-----------| m = mute [ Verse 2 ] F#m A 1 2 3 4 F#m A 1 2 3 4 F#m A 1 2 3 4 F#m A G# 1 2 3 4 [ Chorus ] For this part I like to open up and play everything open except for the A7 and G#, which I mute afterward. C#m B 1 2 3 4 F#m A7 G# 1 2 3 4 [ Ending ] Stroke pattern is similar to the verse, but the last line is just straight chords muted after each beat. C#m G# 1 2 3 4 C#m G#7 C#m C#m 1 2 3 4 For the last beat if you want to be fancy instead of playing the same C#m you can slide up and play: E|-9-| B|-9-| G|-9-| D|---| A|---| E|---|
