Learn how to strum Kiss Me!
Apart from the first bar, the strumming pattern remains the same up until 0:45 when the chorus starts.
As the Chorus enter we hit beat 1 with a quarter note.
By not being followed by any more 16ths, we get the feeling of the chorus as “opening up”, this compliments the lyrics and the chord progression of the chorus very well.
‘Kiss Me’ use the tension between the worried verse progression and the released progression to effect the lyrical meaning.
You should always try to incorporate your rhythm playing in such a thought process as well.
Breakdown and Dynamics
Apart from small variations in strumming pattern to help the arrangement along, Kiss Me also has a picking part that serves to calm the song down.
As you play it, make sure you sit nicely behind the beat, don’t rush this section.
As you build up for the chorus there’s a slightly awkward chord progression at 2:22 – 2:33 when nothing really happens.
Production sometimes need sections like this to give some nice room for solos or other things that make the song breathe.
However, if you play on your own, skip bits like this, don’t be afraid to change things around.
After all, you are substituting a whole production for one acoustic guitar!
