I hope that there are some Heep fan around who can help me with the following songs :D

Sunrise
Tales
Lady in black
Rain (that's quite tricky!)

Ok regarding each song

Lady in black: no problem with the chord changes (2 measures for Am, one for G). regarding strummin there a few which pretty satisfy me

DDUD

DDUDU

DDUUD

but I wish to have a confirmation!

Sunrise: 2 measures Am, one measure every other chord. Strummin'

DDUUD? or

DD U

Rain: I change the chord every measure but I did not find a fully satisfing strummin

Tales: everyone said that it is easy but I'm not so sure. first of all which is the exact chord lenght? for the strummin I use a DDDUD or a DDDDU but the result are not exciting

Thanks in advance

Matteo

Sorry I can't help you here, I did learn "The Wizard" from playing along with CD, and I have a copy of "Gypsy" somewhere....I looked on a couple of tab sites, but couldn't find anything...

Just to let you know you weren't being ignored!!!!

Ok I made a few progressions :D

Lady in Black: i'm happy with the D D UD strummin, which easy complements with the singing. So I play

D D UD twice for Am

once for G, then once for Am and so the verse is done!

of course this is a syncopated strum, missing the third downbeat

Rain: I think it could be played with the classic folk-strum (D, DU, U, DU), with chord changes every measure except for some lines where they change half measure, but I would like a bit of confirmation :D

Tales: see the topic about it

Sunrise: the strum should be something like

dd ddu

for every two beats

but i'm not 100% sure about chord changes

I still wait for some help :D
