Learn How To Play Down Down By Status Quo
“I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing
And you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you”
| Here is the full song demonstration of how I play Down Down by Status Quo. This is the Francis Rossi part using an open G tuning and a capo at the 4th fret. I must apologise for the dodgy colouring on the videos. I recorded these on my stills camera. I now have a HD video camera, so more recent ones are better quality. I hope it doesn't spoil it too much. Grab the tabs: intro shuffle Middle 8 |
| In this video, I demonstrate how to play the well known introduction to the song. |
