In this week’s lesson I’m excited to dive into the strumming & rhythm of Van Morrison’s 1970 classic Into the Mystic.
At a quick glance this song might seem relatively simple, as you only need four chords without any quick changes - but it’s the strumming where things can get quite complicated. This is due to a few things: the sixteenth-note rhythm, Morrison’s hammer-on from Csus2 to C, a percussive slap on the 2nd beat of some measures, and the way the intro strum quickly evolves before settling into the verse & chorus sections.
But fear not, I’ll walk you through all of it - showing a few simplified versions of things along the way. Let’s get into it!
