Yes maybe I should learn Magic Carpet Ride, however next up for me probably will be life in the fast lane. When I said yes I meant I am agreeing with the poster of this thread. Tom does a great job with the strumming pattern on Sister Golden Hair. He also did a good job explaining the pattern on Listen to the music. If you practice his strumming pattern on Listen to the music before you try to play the chords it helps, at least it helped me tremendously. I too have the issue with right hand technique however this site has done it for me. I got slow ride down this weekend. I am so happy.
