Keep goin' strong How to play "Strong" by Tyler Hubbard on guitar Playing Style: - This song is mainly centered around the key of D major. It uses a mix of strong, resonant strums to convey its themes of durability and resilience. Intro and Verse Chord Structure: - The intro and much of the verse are played using the D chord, reflecting the thematic repetition of "strong." Focus on clear, forceful strums to echo the lyrical emphasis on strength. Strumming Pattern: - A solid strumming pattern for this song could be a straightforward D-DDU-DDU (D=down, U=up), which provides a robust backdrop to the vocals. Common Mistakes: - Be careful not to overpower the vocals. Even though the strumming should be strong, it shouldn't drown out the lyrics. - Ensure the transitions to the N.C.

This sequence adds depth and builds up the emotional narrative. - Transition smoothly between these chords, maintaining a consistent rhythm to support the storytelling in the lyrics.

It's a reflective moment in the song, requiring a bit softer or more nuanced strumming.

It connects personal strength with enduring love, suggesting that true strength is found in lasting bonds and heritage.
