Today I started to learn the next sub song 'III. I don't care' which is probably the hardest out of the 3 so far because it quite a substantial tempo change, and the strumming pattern is almost like it doesn't follow the 4/4 time signature that the song is in, but it does - it just throws me off a little bit. It starts with a short guitar solo which is quite easy, there is one slide from 2nd fret to 7th fret which is hard because it's such a big gap and it's hard to make sure I slide to right fret as it is quite quick - but I practiced this by just educating my finger on how far to slide, and then practiced it slowly and gradually increased the speed. When it comes out of the interlude, the power chord part with the funny strumming pattern is hard mainly because of the strumming pattern (as mentioned above) but also the strumming is all down strums and it's very quick so it's quite hard to keep up. To practice this, I did a guitar warm up exercise (see warm up video) and really focused on my wrist off my strumming hand to loosen it up and increase my strumming speed and fluency. This really helped because I felt a lot more comfortable when doing the fast strumming, and my wrist wasn't aching like before. Also, for some reason there are no tabs for this part of the song, so I had to kind of play by ear to get the notation right.
