I am a beginner, have had my guitar about eight months and love the way this song sounds. I've been practicing the strumming pattern for about a week but what I strum still sounds nothing like it should. I guess I'll keep trying.
Thank you for the comment! The strum on this song is a little tricky. Take it slow and work up to it. You’ll get it eventually. You may also find this video about strumming helpful- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8fawVazOeUg.html
I had the same, what cured it was using a thin .40 pick. Do not strum all the strings. When you are a more advanced played you will strum all the strings.
