Beginner Acoustic Jam Track 3 - A & D Chords

For this Jam Track we're going to be playing the A major chord for 2 bars and then the D chord for 2 bars. To the same Jam Track both times, we'll initially play single strums on each but then use two different strumming patterns. Plenty of challenge here to get stuck into, so take it slow and make sure you have as little tension in the arm as possible when strumming!

Strumming pattern 1 is: D D DU D

Visual Jam track 2 - join in!

Strumming pattern 2 is 8th all down: D D D D D D D D

Importantly for 8th all down strumming, we change chord around beat 4 to then land on beat 1 with the next chord.By doing this we have plenty time to swiftly change!
