Rising Sun

[artcrocker]

When I play the Strum sections of Rising Sun I am not getting much volume for chords at frets 9 -12. More importantly it doesn’t sound nearly as good as Mat. I try to focus on striking the 1st string which works a little but when trying to catch all strings not so good. Is there a bit more technique needed at those frets?

Hmm… it’s hard to say without hearing/seeing what’s happening. Can you upload a video playing this section and the other section which rings louder?

I have a question as well. I prefer using my pinky for the 3rd fret on the A string instead of the third finger (as demonstrated in the intro). Is this a bad habbit or can I keep it?

Thx for this awesome tutorial!

That should be fine, but I’d fret the A note on the G string with the middle finger.

And thank you for the kind words 🙂
