Thanks for this...you wouldn't happen to have the solo part?
Also, what is the strumming pattern?
Thanks
I originally did this off the very very short version used in the intro to the show, so I did not have the solo. I just got the full Waylon version with the extra verse and I believe there's a couple of solos, but the chord progression remains the same... I think.
As far as strum pattern goes, it's kind of like the alternating bass line pick and strum. Just mimick that with a partial strum and then a down - up or whatever sounds like.
To get better at picking up strum patterns don't focus so much on technic but close your eyes and listen and feel it, then it just happens!
