For instance, I took what I had learned here with Chris on house of the rising sun which I had been practicing daily, then I went on youtube, watched the animals version of it which shows how he plays the song and there went the lightbulb. Now I practice the chord changes and pattern the way Chris shows it, but use the strumming/arpeggio pattern similar to the animals.
The net is a wonderful place and youtube is great for ideas about strumming and notes. Put this site and that together and it is like striking gold.
