I tried this song with my own strumming pattern. All I could come up with was : ddd
(First down stroke on the base notes,
the second & third on the higher notes)

It didn't sound very good to me. Can anybody suggest a better strumming pattern for this song? I am not good at finger picking the strings.

Hi Zurf,

I really appreciate that you took some time out to write what you meant by "By heart". I will definitely give this a try and keep you posted on my success :-)

Hi Russell,

Thanks for the clarification. Now I understand... I will post a message if I need a strumming pattern.

Hi Russell,

Thanks for the reply. It felt good to get such a quick reply.
One suggestion: Maybe, we could have a list of strumming patterns separately indexed. In the songs , we could write the name of the pattern. I was wondering if it would help if I sent some strumming patterns of songs that I know. Let me know..

Hi Zurf,

I wish I could do it by heart. Unfortunately I get just 1/2 hour to practise everyday since I have a small baby to look after. Hence, I asked..

Hi,

I am a new member of Chordie. Your website has an amazing collection of chords for English songs. However, I miss the rhythms ( I mean strumming patterns) of the songs.

Where can I find this?

Thanx,
Rajani
