Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
PARADISE CITY - Guns N' Roses Tabbed by: Vinny Now you'll have to find out by yourself what rhythm do you want to play, for example in the intro bit you can only strum the chords once...but if you are playing by yourself like on an acoustic then it may not sound all that impressive...so what I do is play the chords, G C in [D D UDUDUDUD DD] each and then F [D D] C [D D] G [D D UDUD] adding lil' dead notes before switching to the next chord, and I swear the rythm changes every time I play. So figure out the pattern you'll enjoy strumming for this song! Rhythm A :- Rhythm for the parts before the verses and in the verses...
