Ok, I can play all the chords in time and everything, but where are all these hammer-on's and pull-offs coming from ?? [img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

The song is mainly just G and D (the version Damien uses is C pushed up 2 frets). You need to listen for when the changes come in, and you have to play this with your thumb - I've tried it with a plec and it just sounds wrong ! Try and keep the basic beat at first, cause it took me a bit of practise to play it strum for strum like Damien (and I still make the odd timing error [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img])


So can anybody help me out with the hammer-on's and pull offs ?

Which part are you having trouble with? [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]


I listened closely to the chorus and I'm not 100% sure if I play it correctly but it's like this ...the hammer on are quite quick after the chord changes but I don't think you really need them





C&nbsp ; G&nbsp ;&nbsp ; Em
and i hate when you say&nb sp; that i never fight for you
cos sometimes you breathe&nbsp ; all over my skin
and you always end up&nbs p;&nbs p; much closer than close
and thats..............................when


Em
I give in


I hope it comes out correctly....thats how I play it anyway, hope it helps

AND!!!!....I've just posted the wrong song up there!!! [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img] ...SORRY guys [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]


Not a major adjustment but this is how I play it;


Am&nbs p;&nbs p; D*
I'm not a grain of sand


Am
I don't care what's written in your hand


C&nbsp ;&nbsp ; D*
It's bound to change



G
Sore, bored, and I'm lost, cost, cold, getting older


Em
Wrap it up, rip it up now, have it sold, cos I'm a grower


Am
Any more, any more, any more, any more...


C
I wanna be with you


D*
Just wanna be with you





The timing is somewhere in there ...I hope [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]Edited by: cheese

I'm not really sure how I could explain the timing. The only way I can think of is to video myself playing it.
