Can't figure out this guitar strumming pattern :o/
This is form youtube, take a look:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=denO1YjbG...20branch%20TRL
It's a Michelle Branch guitar lessons on TRL - pretty easy, only 3 chords... but I don't strum on my guitar right, I cna't figure out what she's doing :-(
Can anybody walk me through this?
If you could also write it 1/4 and 1/8 that would be great, so far I figured out it's a down strum down strum, small pause the nanother down strum and then I'm lost... I think part of the problem is that I'm not strumming fast enough, I looked at her clip and her hand ism oving very quickly, not really like mine.
Would really appreciate your help :-)

Darn... The video is no longer available... Sorry barefoot, but I'm not familiar with the song.
Was hoping to pick it out from the vid...

Ok... I just watched the vid... Here is what it looks like she's doing:
Down= D
UP=U
(F Chord)-D/D...UDUD..UD - (C chord)-D/D...UDUD..UD - (G chord)-D/D...UDUD..UD... and so on.
Hope this helps...!!!

nocat may be right, I just cant make his way work for moi.
anybody else have an answer or opinion?
not sure if I'm playing it the same way as her but to me it sounds similar, it just depends where you accent the beat in the strumming.
