[Bm] This is literally one of [D] my favorite songs and I know so many of [A] you love this song too
And by the way before we [E] get into the tutorial, I [Bm] just have to say thank you because we just [D] reached
200,000 subscribers like [A] what the heck I saw that this morning and it was such [E] an amazing surprise
So if you are a [Bm] subscriber and you were watching this video, I [D] truly appreciate your support
Thank you so much [A] for sticking with me
And if you're not a subscriber, you should totally [E] subscribe and welcome to the guitar goddess community
All right, starting off with the basics.
We are [F#] in standard tuning with a capo here on [C#] the second fret
All right, starting off with chords.
We have an [Bm] a minor a [D] C major a
[A] G major and a D [E] major
Right on to strumming [N] patterns.
I have a few that I'm going to show you we're gonna start off with the intro strumming pattern
So we have down down up up down up
Just to give you a little bit of an idea I'll play with the [Bm] a minor
Now the verse [N] pattern is gonna make it a little bit more interesting
So we have a little bit of palm muting in there.
[Bm] So our pattern is going to be up
[F#] Mute mute and use the side of your palm and just hit [D] down on the strings mute [Bm] mute and then go down
So we just have up

It's actually our [G] easiest strumming pattern because we're just gonna do a [Bm] simple single down strum
