Keep the strumming slow and to balance with the melancholic emotion of the song, pick lightly. Emphasis will be on chord changes and the smooth transitions between the C to F and G to G7. Strumming Pattern: - In a song like this, a very simple down-down-up-down-up pattern fits so well with a light and flowing rhythm. - You may add emphasis to the downbeats to get some emotional depth with the strumming. Verse Breakdown: - Begin with a G chord in the first line, then move to C on "I know you tried your best to love me." - The F chord comes in on "You smiled when your heart told you to weep." - In the last line of every verse, this changes to the G7, adding a bit of tension before resolving back to C. - Work on these transitions until the verses groove one into the other. Break: - Your break section is just like your introduction. Keep this in mind when going into the next verse, you'll have smooth transitions. - Take full advantage of the break to punctuate the emotional feeling you want to express in your song. Chorus (if applicable): There isn't a traditional chorus, but the emotional peaks happen during the last line of each verse. Focus on those lines to get across the idea of the song. Verse 2 & 3: - The second and third verses follow the same chord progression as the first verse. - Keep playing a steady strumming pattern and emphasize your emotional delivery of the lyrics. Interludes: - The interludes between the verses work as a musical mirror to the themes of the song. Re-use the same chord progression as in intro and break. - Carry on the strumming in the same way to ensure the continuity of the song. Common Mistakes: - Be careful with the change from G to G7, many beginners have a problem with this. - Do not rush the strumming; keep it steady to the mood in the song, which reflects on thinking. - Dynamics are highly needed, especially for the final lines of each verse, to really bring across that feeling of depth at key points. Song Facts: - "Last Night I Heard You Crying In Your Sleep" is a classic country track by Hank Williams reflecting elements of love, loss, and left-deposited – unsaid emotions. - As for the words, it's a story of a man who has just realized that his partner is still in love with someone else and does all she can to get over them. - Hank Williams was particularly renowned as being able to express very deep emotional truths through his straightforward yet poignant lyrics. - This example is one of that genius in expressing the deep sorrows and heartaches with which he resonated.
