Every Rose Has Its Thorn (strumming pattern)

Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison is an easy and fun song, perfect for gatherings and campfires. Here you can find the strumming pattern, used chords, tuning and a guitar lesson from youtube by Marty Schwartz. (watch also the tutorial by for3v3rfaithful)

Tuning

To match the original recording, you should tune your guitar down half a step. This is called Eb tuning (E-flat tuning). Each string is tuned down by a semitone (half-step). The notes for each string in Eb tuning are:

1. Eb (E string tuned down to E-flat)

2. Ab (A string tuned down to A-flat)

3. Db (D string tuned down to D-flat)

4. Gb (G string tuned down to G-flat)

5. Bb (B string tuned down to B-flat)

6. Eb (high E string tuned down to E-flat)

However, you can still play the song in standard tuning without retuning your guitar, and it will sound almost the same, just in a slightly higher pitch.

Strumming pattern

The strumming pattern Marty Schwartz explains for the song is as follows:

1. Basic strumming pattern:

Down, down, down, up, up, down, up, down

This is repeated consistently throughout the song.

2. Alternative strumming (more relaxed):

Down, down, down, up, up, up, down, down

You can vary this depending on how fast or slow you want the rhythm.

Additionally, there's a humorous mention of a **knock technique**, where you lightly tap or knock on the guitar body between chord changes for a percussive effect. While it's optional, it adds a fun, rhythmic touch to the performance.
