[Ebm] The most common question that I get asked on my videos and stuff is what's the strum pattern?
Because I show a lot of songs with a few chords and the strum patterns change sometimes.
The truth about strum patterns is that they're not really that important.
I mean as long as you're playing the right chords and you change the chords at the right times,
the strum pattern isn't that big of a deal.
That being said, easily my go-to strum pattern most of the time is going to [Abm] be down, down, up, up, down, up.
Probably 80% of the time that'll work.
8 times out of 10.
And rather than just taking my word for it, I'll show you.
