Not strumming, but very simple, and the only way I can play it, I must add. :D]]> Easy Songs Floydian_Hammer https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stand-by-me-very-easy/#post-90344 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stand-by-me-very-easy/#post-89734 Tue, 15 Feb 2005 09:11:09 +0000 Look at it as a pattern idea and not as a "must replicate it exactly" and you will find your fingers almost doing this pattern as you sing.
I find my own version , one of my favourite party pieces , with these ideas added sounds much more interesting , just goes to show we can all still learn from basic tunes.

I also find it a lot easier to read chords for simple songs.....ie just strumming....if you use this format.....

(G) When the night is cold, (Em) and the land is dark,
And the (C)moon is the (D)only light we'll (G)see, Then buy a 1000 songs for buskers book on ebay 20 songs on each page and they all sound the same :D :D]]> Easy Songs catcha https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stand-by-me-very-easy/#post-89734 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stand-by-me-very-easy/#post-89333 Sat, 12 Feb 2005 21:14:40 +0000 I am stuck in the beginer group being self taught but have craved the concept of walking into chords as Notebook has tabbed

I can fingerpick ( very slowly at this point) the tab without looking at the fret board

I would think this would sound very nice with two guitars , one fingerpicking Notebooks tab and a second guitar struming as per Vics written version
Keep up the generous offerings every body! All your efforts are appreciated
thanks again

You might find it easier, if using code for the ESD, to tab one phrase at a time....otherwise we have to save it to notepad, expand the page and it takes more working out than a geometry exam....and I haven't done one of those for over 30 years!!!!!!

I'll get back to you all on this one....but please try the "preview" button before you hit "submit"......

etc......

It's a lot easier to read.....

I recorded two choruses this afternoon, burned it to CD and went to put it on my site for a link... and the dang audio file runs 15 MB. So until I get time to figure out a reasonable data compression for it, I'll just put up an accurate tab of what I do for the tune... all chords are quasi arpi; so is the double-stop on the D chord (play the notes with a little separation). The G note at the end is the first one of the repeat - I showed it for how the hammer/pull leads back to the start.

Is that how you play the whole song? I'm curious to learn your version.

Thanks,

I heard John Lennon singing it in my head, looked at your chords and the strum pattern came in litterally five seconds.

I've looked for this on various tab/chord sites and they always seem to complicate it with hard chord patterns before you even get going.

Many thanks
