This is actually pretty good! I’d say the strumming is pretty much freestyle, like a mixture of DDU UDU and single strums, I also did a bit of DD UDU DDU UDU.
Wonderful! I’ve been hoping for this song for so long and it seems to be in the original key already! I wish that the Gb wasn’t right lol, I have such a hard time with that chord because my pinky locks at that angle
For the Gb and Bm, I like to completely ignore the finger on the g-string… it sounds pretty much the same, and it’s much easier if you’re like me and have short fingers :^)
