So the key is to count 1 E &amp; A, 2 E &amp; A, 3 E &amp; A, 4 E &amp; A over the song and crucially\u00a0<strong>KEEP YOUR HAND MOVING<\/strong> at all times.

The key is to make sure the main accents in the rhythm of the melody are reflected in the strumming pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This pattern is taken from the original Tomlin version which is pretty open as far as patterns go because the main accents all fall exactly on the beats and the upstrums just beforehand only serve to move the track along.
