I love this song so much
The pattern that I used was kind of confusing so I’m going to try and explain it the best I can: So you’re just going to be using down strums. You’re going to go Down Down Down (put more emphasis on the third down) Down Down Down Down (put more emphasis on the fourth down) And just keep repeating that. I don’t think that made much sense so reply to this if you have any questions.
