strumm fast "Rock" section: On the original record this section is in 4/4 (beats marked below the staves), but triplets dominate the lead tune creating an alternate 6/4 meter marked below the staves. You can simplify this part by playing only every second 4/4 (D) chords (later: 'A' bass). It's easier to learn this section with 6/4 meter in mind. * . . . . . * . . . . . |-2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----| |-3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----|
