So, if the issue is with the chord at 2:15 (the F chord), you just have to practice getting your pointer finger over all of the strings on the first fret and pressing down fully.
If that's giving you trouble, but you still want to progress through the song, you can use the alternate F chord. Code:
--- --- -2- -3- -3- -1- If the trouble is with moving from each chord position, that only comes with time and practice. Leave out the muting until you can get it up to speed, then start to add the fancy muting sections. |

Barre chords are one of the most important things to learn in guitar. Without it, you'll just be learning "easier" versions of songs all the time.
Like ChorpSaway said, you can use the alternate F chord, but I would really suggest you work on the full F chord everytime you practice. Don't go easy on yourself and cut yourself some slack lol. If you can't bar down the first fret and it's not because of strength, try moving your finger futher up (so more of your index sticks out at the top) or futher down (so less of it sticks out from the top). Make sure you're barring right before the fret and with your finger at an angle for the most strength. And remember, you don't have to barre down the strings you won't be playing with the first finger (my friend kept doing this!) So you don't have to put so much pressure on the A, D, or G string since your other fingers will be covering that. |

Off-topic: I remember playing the main riff of Ryashon's cover of the Mortal Kombat theme over and over again to practice my alternate/economy picking early on. |

there are second character image songs (album i mean)??? or the second song in their previous character song series?? talking about playing fuwa fuwa time kinda reminds me on how i started playing guitar (like 4 months ago). it was my first cover, in acoustic even (in my youtube channel). I remember staying up all night until i get the strumming pattern right. time sure flies when you strum like mad.I cant really give tips and all, because i'm the one who needs them. oh yeah, i just remembered some stuff when i was daydreaming at class today. What album is Curry Nochi Rice in? the same as fude pen Yui version? Who is the lead guitarist (officially)? I presume Azusa since she's the better guitarist and the one doing the lead in fuwa fuwa time. but i kinda remember an episode where yui insisted on being lead. what you can think in the middle of boring classes. o yeah, Moogie, i could wait for the full version of your tabs to arrive. I'll be pretty busy with studies this weekend anyways (darn tests).

I'm more familiar with U&I and I've made up some 16th note fills with heel-toe technique. Besides, I'm missing out what I should've covered months ago (planning on covering some old pop punk and an SNSD cover since I've given away my worn-out generic double bass pedal).

If you wanna practice strumming, the simplest thing to do is just practice playing regular songs. If you just practice songs, the strumming patterns are varied enough that you'll just get better.
For barre chords, it takes a lot of practice. Just keep trying to build up the strength in the index finger. Make sure you're using the side of your finger, and make sure you're able to fret all the strings. Quote:

I really dislike songsterr since it hides the notes and only shows the tab. For non-standard tunings, this is terrible.
