Added 2020-04-14 21:28:07 +0000 UTC

Hello friends,

welcome back to Swiftlessons for another by request song tutorial! In today's session we'll tackle another Tom Petty classic in his 1989 smash hit "Free Fallin." This is an excellent song for beginners, because the entire tune is comprised of only three chords, and variations of the same recognizable riff. Let's get started!

Hey Olivia, I carefully broke down the strumming pattern in the video. But you can also look at the provided tab and deduce the strumming pattern - down strokes focus on the lower strings, upstrokes focus on the higher pitched strings. In most cases, downstrokes include the bass strings, where has upstroke avoid them. Make sense?

ahh I see. I was looking for the strumming pattern. Found a breakdown on another video. Thanks!

Hey Olivia, do you have guitar pro? The content of that file is the same as the existing pdf, it just allows you to play midi audio against the tab, and adjust tempo among other useful tools.

Hi i'm having the same issue, can't open the gpx file and I'm struggling to learn the strumming pattern from the video. Can you post it as a pdf?

Hey Alan, gpx files are for Guitar Pro. The tabs contained in that file are the same as in the PDF, but the program allows you to play midi, adjust bpm etc.

What’s a .gpx file. Strumming pattern won’t open. Google says .gpx is for maps. Why not just pdf?

Thanks, got the correct one now!

Rob, what guitar brand was Tom’s go-to guitar? Do you know? Is a Taylor good for playing his tunes? I’m playing this exactly as it should be played and yet, something is missing...and I think that that’s got to do with my low end Applause. Time to upgradez

2020-04-16 13:11:15 +0000 UTC

That's correct, and I'll reupload that tab asap.

So, it should just be a Bsus4 all the way?

2020-04-15 22:58:07 +0000 UTC

Whoops, good eye, I forgot to change it.

2020-04-15 22:53:06 +0000 UTC

Why does the tab have the following progression on the Chorus 2 + 3 E Asus2 E B+11 | E Asus2 E Bsus4, The B+11 is also shown in Verse 4 in place of the Bsus4?

My wife’s favorite song! Now I’m going to be a super star, thanks!
