I've been playing guitar for a little while (a year maybe...?) but still have a long way to go. I recently obtained the official Opeth songbook and decided to try and learn Demon of the Fall. Not sure why really, seemed less technical compared to the other songs in the book and the fact that it fucking rules also helps!
Anyway, I'm having difficulties with the strumming pattern of the chords in the intro, verse etc. Should I be playing all downstrokes or should I be alternating with a down-up picking style? Both ways sound pretty good and the down-up style certainly makes it a lot easier but I'd like to know the proper way of playing it before I go any further.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
