Despacito - Luis Fonsi (feat. Daddy Yankee)

Chords: Bm, G, D, A
​

Summer Of 69 - Bryan Adams

Intro Chord: D 
Verse Chords: D, A

Strumming Pattern.. you have 16 downward strums (quite fast) with emphasis on the 1st and 4th strum! Listen to the track. 

If you want to move on to the pre chorus here are the chords, have a listen and see if you can figure out an appropriate strumming pattern. Start by working out how many beats there are before the chord changes and doing 1 strum per beat on each chord, then see if you can make it more interesting with more up and down strumming.

Pre Chorus Chords: Bm, A, D, G    Bm, A, D, G    Bm, A   ... back to verse

Counting Stars - One Republic

Capo 4th Fret
Am, C, G, F

Strumming Pattern:  D, D, D, DDU

Work on this strumming pattern, make sure your first strum of the next chord happens immediately!

Stitches - Shawn Mendes

Here's a song we have touched upon before but I want you to work on the strumming pattern.. with emphasis on the UP strums! Hopefully by working on a few different songs will arm you with a few different strumming patterns that you'll then be able to use again or adapt when playing new songs.

​Note: Strum with the arm not the wrist


Capo 1st Fret
Chords
Verse: Am, G, C, F
