yes, that song is what im attempting.... i thought i knew how to play it, but i just strummed all 6 strings each time, each chord. i found a different tab on guitar pro , and it does sound more correct . how do you personally play this song? what method do you use to mute the strings? so you would attempt to strum only the four strings, but keep the low and high e muted just in case?
