Oh My Darling Clementine Strumming Pattern

Nursery Rhymes are good for your chord changes and they also introduce you to basic strumming patterns on top of that there are virtually no songs that only use C and G.

Strum:

1 & 2 & 3 &

D   D   D U

( Down and Down and Down Up )

 

This pattern is made up of 3 down strums with an up strum added at the end of the measure (after beat 3). Down strums always happen on the beats and up strums always happen between beats.
I'm confident you should be able to master it with a little practice.

Chord progresion:

3 bars of C

2 bars of G

1 bar of C

1 bar of G

one strum of C
