Hi, I'm new to playing and I love this song. It is nice and slow and seems like a good song for a beginner. Can anyone help with the strumming pattern?
Here is how I play it:
Code: Select all
Now here is where it gets tough, the lyrics on the lines begin begin sung before the 1 and the note you are strumming for the one is sometimes the same as what you were strumming before.
Intro strum: A, Asus4
A D A
As we rode out to Fennerio
A E F#m C#m
As we rode out to Fennerio
D A
Our Captain fell in love
A Abm F#m
With a lady like a dove
A D A
And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
But it presents an awesome opportunity for barre-chords:
Code: Select all
Play the A barred off the 5th and the rest barred off the 4th. Very smooth transitions! A E F#m C#m
As we rode out to Fennerio
e -5--4----5-----------4----
