is it just me, or does the Gm-chord sound kind of wrong? maybe it’s just me, i don’t know. still, great song!
I play a G instead of Gm, it works and sounds better in my opinion
I’ve been playing D instead of Gm, and think it sounds way better.
Strum pattern?
I play Gm, but open on the bottom string. Sounds different from the original but I like the progression into the next chords!
