Now that you know the chords, it’s time to start learning the strumming pattern. This is more complicated than just playing with the chords; it requires mastering a specific rhythm that works for each chord progression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by practicing slowly and gradually, increasing your speed as you get comfortable with the pattern. Once you’ve nailed it, try playing along with some of your favorite songs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
