It's played with a pick, but could be finger strummed. Generally...(D=strum down, U=upstrum) D D UD D, DUDUD D UD D D (repeat)

That's key. In other words, your "ups" don't come exactly between the "downs". They come a bit later than that. Pretty hard to describe in words. Here's a yootoob I dug up that may or may not help explain the difference. JJ Last edited: Apr 16, 2009
