What is the strumming pattern???
i do down down up up down
xD
I finger pick the bottom three strings in a 1-2-3-2 pattern, just like in the original song.
It’s like this (this refers to strings not chords) – C, E, A, E, C, E, A, E, Repeat.
You can finger pick this pattern for the entire song and it sounds fine, not breathtaking like the song should be and it’s hard to get loud, the way the song does. But it works well and sounds good.
For the Am chord you’re actually playing all open strings, but just to be correct and not to pick up bad habits I hold the Am chord anyway.
