Tuning:
Fellow guitar-playing Starkids,
This is my favorite song from Starship. I figured out the chords from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXthfVNj3DY If you watch it, you'll figure out the
parts where is pauses and some of the more obvious strumming patterns that Darren
uses. When he wrote this song he must've been thinking "I'll make this really hard
for other people to learn by using strange chords. HAZAA!" But really, he makes
seem really easy in the beginning and then from the bridge on it just "BAM. BAM.
BAR CHORDS." Also, in no way, is this perfect or exact to Darren's acoustic
version. But I think I have a pretty good chunk of if right. Sorry if this was a
long intro but you didn't really need to read any of this, so I'll put the actual
important stuff below.
****THIS YOU SORT OF NEED TO READ*****
-For the D* you sort of lift up your pointer and middle finger at different times
