Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
Note for sections denoted with an asterisk (*):
As the chords alternate between C and Am, shift your index finger up to the 1st string to get
the same note pattern from the riff. I found this was really helpful when strumming so that you don't
have to fingerpick the entire song but still hold the integrity of the original.
The given strumming pattern demonstrates the riff integrated into strumming. The accents mimic the given
riff below. For the third and fourth accents, the index finger moves up a fret.
