This is more a matter of feel than of mechanics. Even if you go by the time signature to determine how fast or slow the song is supposed to be, there are still several ways to play it. For example I use a lot of "triads", or single notes within a chord configuration. Finger picking is one type of triad, flatpicking is another. I also use an old style of R & B type rythym, which uses an upstrum on the downbeat. Using different techniques like these and others can change the basic feel of the song. I would suggest to just listen to the song, try to pick out your part in the music, and play it the way it is on the recording. Or you can play it more according to what be comfortable for you, and hopefully not "vandalizing" the song too much.

As i understand it... Chord Families are a number of chords that can be played within the same stretch of fretboard real estate (maybe within the same four frets), where you can play all the chords in the key. This is pretty easy to catch onto if you know your neck or the nature of guitar chord construction but most of us beginners have a hard time grasping it. The C-A-G-E-D system could help get some new but easy to understand chords under your fingers... but in regard to chord families...

How do you play Guitar Hero drums?

If it appears like a held note such as on the guitar chords, you keep hitting the relative cymbal to the held note, You must successfully hit the note numerous times in quick succession because there is a time limit as to how long between each hit and you can drop the note if you hit it once say every 2 seconds.
