Strumming Pattern Explained
D D U U D D DU
- Start with two steady downstrokes to establish the rhythm.
- Follow with two light upstrokes, keeping your strumming hand relaxed.
- The fifth downstroke should be slightly accented to bring out the groove.
- Continue with another controlled downstroke before finishing with a smooth down-up movement.
- Keep the motion flowing continuously rather than treating each strum as a separate action.
- Practice the pattern slowly first, then gradually increase speed while maintaining a consistent rhythm.
