another picking pattern that works well is your thumb and pointer pick the two outside strings ( a and g) at the same time then your thumb picks the two middle strings ( e and c) one after the other. do this pattern twice then swap to the next chord apart from the end of the verse when you only do it once. ex;
Am D G Em
1 2 3 1 2 3 swap 1 2 3 1 23 swap 123123 swap 123123
squeeze me oh so tight, show me,

WHY IN THE WORLD IS THERE A WRAPPING ON CANDY CANES IT MAKES IT SO MUCH HARDER-
I don;t understand the chords that change at the end. They sound odd when transposed to +3 and at 0.
Whats the strum pattern?
What’s the strumming pattern please?❤
This song is so pretty! ?
i use ddu for the strumming but for the first line where it says “[G] put your head on my [Em] shoulder” i like to use “[N.C.] put your head on my [G] shoul.. [Em] ..der” and i just think it sounds nicer and is a nice way to ease into the strumming
If this key is to low for you, try +5 it’s easy and higher
I liked using a DDUUDU strum (once per chord except in some spots).
SOY?

Hey Everyone,
I found strumming doesn’t give the proper vibe for this song. I suggest picking:
use thumb for top string, pointer finger for next, middle finger for second lowest and ring finger for bottom.
Basically do this; pick one string at a time starting at the bottom string going up the bottom 3 strings and do that twice for each chord then change and do it again. super easy and fun to learn, I also personally suggest using your thumb to pick at the beginning of each chord with your ring finger.
SO DO THIS for each chord:
thumb and ring – middle – pointer – ring – middle – pointer. next chord then start again.
-7 is easie for beginners
I figured the strumming pattern -genaro.
Most of it is Down Up-(muffled)Down
Once per note
Then the bridge (ppl say — fool rush in) is DUDU(last also muffled) 2x per note.
Hope i explained that well. Good luck
What is the strumming pattern? I can’t figure it out.
