Strumming Pattern Explained
Strumming Pattern: DuDuDD
Accent on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th downstrokes.
Start with a clear downstroke, followed by a light upstroke.
Keep the second downstroke slightly stronger to maintain groove.
The final two downstrokes should feel connected and expressive.
Maintain a smooth wrist motion - avoid stiff strumming.
In the chorus, increase intensity slightly to match the emotional lift.
Practice the pattern slowly on a single chord first, then apply it across chord changes like E - C#m - F#m - A.
