@Richard_close2u
If upstrums are always on the upbeat and downstrums are always on the downbeat won’t the strumming pattern look like below?

The strumming pattern Justin teaches is 16th note strumming taught simplified as two 8th note strumming patterns:

D D D U U U D U D U D U
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a

@Socio Thank you, this makes so much sense. What is the thing at the bottom?

1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a

@dantejms the song uses 16 note strumming. For beginners Justin teaches it as two sets of 8 note strumming. I’ve shown it represented both ways as wasn’t sure if you’ve got to that stage of learning 16 note strumming.
