Strumming Pattern Explained

D D UDUD DUDU

Start with two downstrokes (D D) to establish the groove of the song.

The UDUD section should be played with a relaxed wrist to keep the rhythm smooth and flowing.

Finish with DUDU, which adds movement and keeps the strumming from sounding stiff.

Avoid heavy strumming — the song works best with soft, controlled dynamics.

Practice the pattern slowly on G - C - D before applying it to the full progression.

Teaching Notes (PRO Tips)

The suspended chords Asus4 and Gsus4 should ring clearly, so avoid muting the higher strings.

Try to keep your fretting hand relaxed when switching between G and Gsus4 since they appear frequently.

The A7 chord (575655) adds a bluesy flavor — make sure all notes ring cleanly.

Keep the strumming light and airy to match the emotional mood of the song.

If singing along, slightly reduce the strumming intensity during verses to let the vocals stand out.
