Strumming/picking pattern:
The strumming pattern is kinda hard since it involves strumming part of the chord,
plucking some strings, and/or strumming the whole chord. Watch the video to get a good sense of it.
The general picking pattern is:
[Intro]/[Verse]:
C or C/F: Downstrum root note, pluck D string, downstrum, pluck G string
Dm or G: Downstrum x2, plug B then G string, downstrum, pluck G string
[Chorus]: Downstrum, pluck G string, downstrum, pluck B string,
[Bridge]: Downstrum, pluck on B or G string (varies between chords)
It's kinda hard to write out exactly what to do at what time without tabbing the whole thing out.
Here are the chords but if you want those extra flourishes and stuff, you're gonna have to
listen for which string to pluck at what time.
Hope you enjoy!
