I'm Happy Just to Dance With You?

Hey guys. My music class is doing a Beatles show in a couple weeks and one of the songs I am doing is I'm Happy Just to Dance With You. I'm on rhythm guitar and if you listen to the track there's this strumming that i cant quite get the feeling for. Does anyone know of a videos that could help me? Or any advice to help me break down the strumming? Thanks:)

ohhhhhhh Zepster you just earned a karma right there amigo! (that is if you actually like the "lads") LOL
ok keep your eye on john (he's on the right) somewhere around 1:15 into the vid.




Damn, I'm gonna be on a Beatles fest for two weeks now! Cue 'em up!

Also you might want to take a look at this............




You might want to start with a thin pick to get the hang of that strum pattern. Also notice this guy is not strumming straight up and down but seems to be strumming at quite an angle. It's all in the wrist on this one! Also I think it's critical that you grow sideburns and wear a tie when you play this or any early Beatles tune. Whew, I almost forgot to tell you that. :)

I think the second video that phip posted will be just about all you need!

what a nice rythm and progression


and ive never heard this one before

The Beatles had some of the best chord progressions especially in the early days.

:D Thanks so much! The video helped a lot. I'm also playing And I Love Her. :)

Also if i can get a video of the show ill post it too.

This may help
