I've been having trouble trying to pick up the strumming pattern you are using for Down by the bay. I'm still a beginner and just not picking it up from listening to the video. Can you help explain both the simple and more complex strumming pattern.
Thank you.
Hi Steve …. the simple pattern would involve a pick down on the root note (chord name) then one strum down … the second would be root note then a quick down/up …. hope that helps!
