Strumming Pattern: D U D U D U D U (Down Up)<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have all the chords down, let’s go over the strumming pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this song, we will use an 8th-note strumming pattern with a consistent down\/up rhythm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started, play four consecutive down strums followed by four consecutive up strums like this: DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN UP UP UP UP (repeat<\/strong>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also think of it in terms of quarter notes by playing two down strums followed by two up strums like this: DOWN DOWN UP UP (repeat)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have mastered this basic 8th note pattern, add some variation by incorporating syncopation and accents into your playing. This will give your playing some flair and make it sound more exciting and dynamic!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Aut All Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Put It All Together Now that you have learned both the chords and the basic 8th-note strumming pattern for Esta Danada, it’s time to put everything together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start slowly until you feel comfortable with both chord changes and the timing of the 8th note rhythm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then gradually increase your tempo until you reach a comfortable speed yet still challenging enough for your skill level. With practice, repetition, and patience\u2014you’ll soon be able to master this traditional Portuguese folk song!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
