I made up the notation because the chord names were long (Em7sus4) and frequent. Here’s the deal: you start the measure with a down strum on G or Em7. Then strum up on the next beat to accent the root note an octave up, then you add an “A” note and strum up to accent, and then add the a “B” and strum up.
You should mess around with the way you strum to fit the music and not just strum on the beats. Selectively play the high and low part of the chord, or switch to finger picking. Notes at the bottom.
Other chords you might want to know: G/B=X2000X Gadd9=32020X
