Rhythm lesson
Posted by KnottyJim on January 15, 2026 at 7:33 pmHow do I tie the strumming pattern to the PDF? I’m trying to understand the pattern and where it ends and repeats. Is it a repeatable pattern every measure or every two measures?

I think I have answered my own question. I was not getting the pattern but I think I have it now. It is a two measure pattern. D–UD-D—-UD-DU then repeat.

My theory only works on the first six bars. Then starting with bar six D-DUDUD–UDU-D-DU

You’re not alone here. I figure that it will come to me eventually. Every once in a while, something just clicks and I have a light bulb moment.

I thought the pattern was just down-up. I’m gonna have to review this again.

I posted this yesterday, it might help to clear up some things.
