i am trying to play Phantom Planet - California right now, and I can play this part just using notes:
e|----7--9--7--9-----7--9--7--9-----7--9--7--9--11--7--
B|--9--------------9--------------9--------------------
G|-----------------------------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------
but my problem is how would I strum this, and would I strum all the chords. I tried strumming every chord but it sounds REALLY bad because the E,A,and D strings seem to take over all the sound(they are louder) and strumming it doesn't sound good because it sounds like a mess, when i try and play the next chord(technically its a note) it hasn't really finished the last one and they just run together and sound as if I were just strumming like crazy or retarded..
