Three Little Birds by Bob Marley Lesson

Okay, I came over here after picking up my guitar to strum along with Rebecca’s debut sharing this song in AVOYP :smiley:
I ran into an odd problem trying to tap my foot and play the off-beat/syncopated rhythm :roll_eyes:
If I play it at 74bpm with a downstroke strum on the offbeat, I’m doing an upstroke with the foot-tap, which feels weird to me :thinking:
Does it make more sense to play the offbeat as an upstroke at 74bpm, or double time it so you play an ‘air-downstroke’ at the same time as you tap your foot?
Am I making sense?
