Very, _VERY_ few people even understand this correctly .. never mind play it correctly. It's a type of polyrhythm. You're playing a straight 16th note rhythm for beats 1, 2 & 3 but accenting in groups of 3. Write out 3 groups of sixteenths and put an accent on beats 1, 4, 7 & 9 (the final beat, 4, is just two 8th notes)

Out of all the good YouTube videos I have watched attempting to get that strumming pattern, yours was the best and it finally did the trick for me. Thank you. Now I just have to pick up some speed

I’m such a huge fan of this song. Especially the Elton John version

I’m seeing The Who May 18th!! Can’t wait! Nice vid!

If I recall correctly. Pete Townsend did not like this song😂

It’s even better on piano, but guitar works in a pinch. 😀

Those are sixteenth note triplets, right?
I'm studying all this stuff, but I don't feel 100% confident yet.

It's not 1-2, 1-2, It's 1, 1, on the last part, go back and listen to the original, don't insert what's not ther.
