What’s the finger picking pattern for the chorus?
this song is best when you have nothing left to do during quarantine!
Try replace Em with E7 and it might sound better
I’ve been waiting 4 years for this!!!! Hyped is an understatement.
it says “the holy dark was moving too” it’s supposed to be dove! That’s a really sad mistake. 🙁
Is it just me or does Am not really fit the song in some parts?
any one have any ideas for a substitute
I keep the plucking pattern through the whole song. It’s a little tricky but I think it sounds best that way.
For the final hallelujah in the chorus, I like to do C, and then replace the G by picking E 1st fret and then E open, and then G C
So instead of CGCC, i play C-E1-E0-G-C
hey is anyone else having trouble with the main chorus? the hallelujah part? im like brand new and I have no idea how that part works
what strum pattern are you guys using/
