Strumming Pattern Explained
D D U U UDUDU
Start by practicing the pattern slowly on a single chord like Em until the rhythm feels natural.
Keep your strumming loose and flowing since the groove of the song relies on relaxed wrist movement.

Once comfortable, apply the same pattern across the chord progression G - Dsus2 - Am7 - Dsus2.

When switching between Dsus2 and Dsus4, keep your fingers close to the fretboard to make the change smooth.
If you are singing the song, slightly reduce strumming intensity during the verses to keep the vocals clear.
Practice the intro melody separately before combining it with the chords.
