Return to using muted strings. Listen to the track titled 1234 Four Down Strums.
Repeat the above process. When ready, pick up your guitar, play the track again, and, while still counting out loud, play a muted down strum on all counts of 1, 2, 3, 4. Repeat with the chords and four down strums. Justin introduces four down strums per bar in Module 2. Remember the chord progression is:
| A | A | A | A |
| D | D | D | D |
| E | E | E | E |
| A | A | A | A |
Record yourself.
If you are gaining in confidence and the counting alongside the strumming is shaping up then I suggest you try to play along with the 1234 Four Down Strum backing track but this time with the vocal guide removed - you will need to count yourself with no prompt.
