"Tightrope" rhythm

[PCM]

Greetings @Griff,

A few weeks ago you published a blog/email video lesson on the song "Tightrope" strumming pattern.

Any chance you could publish the rhythm figure associated with the lesson? The video was excellent, but my brain requires a "visual" of the strikes, rests and rakes to count it correctly and get it firmly under my fingers.

Thanks,

I'm not Griff, nor do I have a cool program for writing tab, but this is where the "paintings hang" on each count.

This is the "Base" ("Alternate strumming")

B-m--B--m--C--x---x--x---C--x--x---C---x--x--C---x
1--e--+--uh--2--e--+--uh--3--e--+--uh--4--e--+--uh

B = Bass Note On 6th String (B) with downstroke
m = upstrokes that "miss"
C = Chord (B9)
X = muted strum across all strings
Red = count something is "played" on; all on downstrokes except the chord on the uh of 3

Then "swing" the e's and uh's

Damn ...pretty scientific!
