house of gold behind the scenes whos with me
hi
It really doesn’t matter where you heard it, it’s a beautiful song
is anyone here from chloe moriondo’s video???
for the verses, “and mess me around” and, “but I love you still” instead of playing G i usually play G7. personally i think they both sound good with the song but i feel G7 sounds better.
Instead of Dm at “I’ll be beside the phone”, (2-0-2-0) (dunno chord name) sounds better 🙂
Strumming pattern i use: D-U-x-U
Any alternatives for Fm?
My strumming pattern is ddudu
On the “don’t break my heart” it sounds SO MUCH better to play F C G7 C. Replacing the G with G7 just fills it out.
if I’m being personally honest i like this strumming pattern for this D tap U U tap
I don’t know what everyone here is talking about about how they got here, I just like the song by The Foundations, its on my playlist and i find it very wholesome.
anyone here in 2021?
am i the only one here from Dodie? no one else? just me? alright
hi
a good pattern is du Xu. with good rhythm, it sounds super cool
-5 is easiest for me! Love this song!!
I’m here because of the tiktok
