Here are the strums for G:[br][br]Beat 1 : D D (strums on "1" and "and")

On this first beat, the upstrokes are not striking the strings.

Beat 2 : DUDU (strums on "1" - "e" - "and" - "a" )

On this second beat, all strums are striking the strings.

Then you change to D on Beat 3.

Make sense?[br]Mike

watched Guitar 1 Acoustic lesson and lesson for single guitar with track.

understand previous explanation.

I don't understand the following

G major

DD- DUDU

Why is the DUDU added to the G Major if only two downstrums sound

then goes to D major

DUDU ghost downstrum then UU

I understand that G and D sound twelve chords

According to this I understand that this means G is strummed over 1 and 2?

I can understand the videos but this is extremely confusing with this arrangement
