How to Strum I Love the Rain

Such a cool easy strumming pattern. It’s great if you are a beginner. It goes like this: D U D D U D U D D U D. Or Down Up Down Down Up.

I Love the Rain Intro Lick

The Lick starts on the High E string. The first string, at the 5th fret. Using Your first finger, you want to bend the string just slightly. Pick the first string and let it ring out and then slide your first finger back down toward the head stock.

Next Place your first finger back at the fifth fret on the E string and pick the E string. Then using your third finger place it on the seventh fret of the first string. Picking the E string again.

And then place your pinky at the eighth fret of the first string. And pick the E string. Picking up and down picking 4 times. Then fret the 7th fret on the first string picking the E string. And fret the 5th fret of the first string and pick the E string.

Then Fret the fifth fret of the B string with your first finger. Picking the B String. Which is the second string. Next fret the sixth fret of the B string using your second finger. Pick the B string again. Raise the second finger off the string and pick the B string again.

After that place your third finger on the seventh fret of the G string. And pick the G string.

Repeat the same sequence of picking from the B string. (Frets 5 6 5 then G string 7) Four times. When you get to the fourth time and your fretting the G string at the 7th fret. Your going to pick up and down on the G string 6 times.

Then fret the G string, 3rd string at the 5th fret. Picking the G string. Move down half a step to the 4th fret of the third string and pick the G string again.

That sounds like a lot. But take your time, go slow and learn a little at a time. Then move to the next part. To make it a lot easier for you I did tab it out. Consider Patron to get this tab and more.

I Love the Rain Chord Progression

The verse starts after that cool intro lick. It starts with the A chord. This song is in 4/4 timing. So you are consistently counting to 4. The next couple of chords are G, F, and E. You are playing these four chords 4 times through.

Then there is a lick between the verse and the chorus. It is played completely on the G string. In this order here are the frets 4 5 4 2 4.

Next is the chorus: The chorus starts out with the A chord and then goes to the G chord. Count two beats of the A chord. By strumming down two times. Then move to the G chord. Strum down two times when playing the G chord.

Then immediately play this riff. Pick the open A string. (5th string). Then fret the A string at the second fret. And play the A string again. After that pick the open D string.

Then play the same notes. Pick the open A string. (5th string). Then fret the A string at the second fret. And play the A string again. After that pick the open D string. Ending by fretting the D string. (4th string). At the second fret. Make sure you use your first finger. So that you will be ready to play the A chord again. Pick the D string.

Then starting with the A chord repeat the same chords and notes. This will complete the chorus.

After that there is another verse and chorus.

The outro is the same as the chorus and then fades out.

I Love the Rain Lyrics

The Clouds are forming
She comes again
I'll go and walk with her
Along the Sceine

Soon she'll be storming 
Here comes the winds
But that don't bother me 
Cause she's my friend 

I Love the Rain 
I Love the Rain

I've held our memories 
All of these years
So Many good times 
And many tears
I share my dreams with her
I share my fears
So I just walk with her until she veers
Off in the distance 

I love the rain
I love the rain

I love, I Love, I love the rain

Oh 
Just as she always does 
She has to leave
With her she takes my heart
into her breeze
Sometimes I think that she
Just likes to tease
Still I'll be waiting 
For her reprise

I love the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain

I Love, I love, I love the Rain.
