In the chorus...the C chord is connected by an arch..what does that mean?
@ steve_jo: thanks, that helped a lot.
@ Terestron: read the article "Standard Notation by Tom Serb" and you'll find:
"There's one other way we can extend note values, by using another rhythmic symbol called the tie. Ties are curved lines that connect two notes of the same pitch (we'll have other names for curved lines that connect different pitches later on). This is a way we can write a note that lasts for an odd amount of time, like five beats. When you encounter a tie, you play the first note, and hold it for the value of both."

On the David Hodge lesson ,in the 2b example of the verse. After the two bass notes ,the rythm of the chords it is down and up strokes or only two downstrokes?
? :roll:
I think down and up.

On the David Hodge lesson ,the verse it is only downstrokes or up and down?
I want to know the strumming of this 2 parts:The Chorus and the last 4 mesures of the Outro in the David lesson.Thanks! :)
was just wondering what a good strum pattern is for the verses and chorus would be. I was trying the ddud but didnt sound right. So help would be great.
There is a lesson by David Hodge in the Easy Songs for Beginners section of the lessons on this site. It has several embellishments that might be what you are looking for.

Oops classic case of hands working faster than brain..... this song is discussed in the Guitar Noise lessons forum
yes thankyou very much
Hi Ervie, welcome to GN.
David's lesson will get you there. Despite the easy chords, it's a tough one to pick up. I tried early on and bagged it for quite some time. I do it and enjoy it now though. The timing of the strumming is key. I also add a bit of emphasis to some of the strums for personality too.
Oh, and eventually, on the intro, try an Em7.
Enjoy!

you are right about the timing. it is so easy for Neil because it's his.
the pedal steel part is actually a lot easier.
I think you have the idea. I would just Neil it up. play with feeling; but not necessarily louder.
that's the trick.
but not necessarily louder.
that's the trick.
Good point. The only word I could come up with was 'emphasis'. I'm sure there's a proper term. :oops:
