    Oh, I play NMH songs all the time. :D Um... I know the chords, and I'm assuming you do, too, but I don't think I can really help you with the strumming. But yeah, it's a really basic song if you can get the strumming pattern down. Well... good luck. :tongue:

    You should learn it every possible way you can... with a pick, without... avant-garde, etc.

    Just because it's classical doesn't mean it's always about class. Sometimes it's about what you can pull out of your ass.

    I can strum but I can't pick. We should form a band, with our talents combined we could take over the world.

    i suck at picking.

    try a metronome. if you strum every time it clicks (start on a slow tempo) then eventually it will sound good.

    but srsly, i would love to have the problem you have. picking is generally a lot harder than strumming.

    There is no better way to keep yourself entertained than to bang out songs on an acoustic guitar. I can spend hours doing it... daily. :D My neighbors probably hate me.
