Can strumming patterns be included with each song? Learning to do so by ear is really hard, because I’ll think I’m doing correct one second and then I get told that I got it all wrong, it’s quite frustrating really.
I end it with a G chord, but I’m not sure it sounds completely right….
for chorus I use DDUD UUDU
Instead of Caad9 I just do C
