Set your Tempo, Hit Loop, and jam along!

Many 16th strumming patterns can be made much easier by thinking of them as 8th strumming patterns played faster, building up to double the speed (hence double time!) This is essentially strumming pattern 9 (the most common pattern EVER) but played twice as fast and written in double time - give it a go!

Other improver level song examples that use a double time strumming pattern like this include ‘Story of My Life’ by One Direction and ‘A Little Respect’ by Wheatus!
