Horse with no name

OK, I know it's a simple song! That's why I'm learning it! I posed here instead of in techniques since that forum seems to be for the more advanced.

From what I'v found out so far: d/u = strum down up
Em d/u, Em d/u, Em u, Em d/u | F#m d/u, F#m u, F#m u F#m u ||

From what I have been learning (only a couple of months) when you strum up you only need to do the bottom 2 or 3 strings. Is this still the case with a note such as F#m?

Sorry, I'm not up on writing tab yet.

Thanks
Ed

but here's a version http://www.guitaretab.com/gtab/t/459

Ed ......strum all of the strings u r holding down with your fretting hand,initially BUT if it sounds better to you to emphasize certain strings over others feel free and develop your own way - guitar playing is not about cloning someone else's sound.

Much luck.

cheers.

inbetween Em and F#m, add some melody in there too, thats what i do. its not on his albums (i dont think it is at least) but it sounds great.

Try these chords for this song when you're up to it. Don't strum the strings marked "X".


Verses: (Strings in EADGBE order) I may have one ( or more ) of the chord names wrong.

Em..........x-x-5-4-5-0
Esus2.....x-x-4-4-5-0



Chorus:

Gmaj7......x-x-5-4-3-2
A6............x-x-4-2-2-0
