I literally love this song so much! J. Maya is also a Percy Jackson fan and that’s how I found her. For this song, I did -1 since that’s a little easier and did 1 strum for each note on the verses, a little harder strums on the pre-chorus, and the continuous strumming on the choruses, then soft but fast strums for the bridge. Hope this helps (:
