Once you're comfortable strumming through the key of D chord progression with the first three strum patterns. Let's try a new one. Here we go, it's gonna go like this. Down, down, down, down, you might want to pause the video and give that a try, I'll go slower, down, down, down, down. Again with counting. So the reason why we count is to be able to keep track of the rhythm, which is very important in music.

So if you can just practice that at least a little bit. Here we go. One and two, and three, and four. So you can pause the video and do that a number of times if you're really struggling with the D coordinates just like you can Not play that low E string, then try a chord like E minor, where you're able to play all the strings and go down, down, up, down, down. Alright, so let's strum the chord progression with the fourth strum pattern. I'll count for a little bit, and then let you take over the counting in your mind or just keep saying it out loud.

Here we go. One and two, and three, and four, and, one, and, two, and, three, and four. One and two, three, and four, and, one, and, two, and, three and four. Three, four. You might want to pause the video and do that on your own. If you need to go a little slower that is totally okay.

Remember, practice the transitions. And as you probably figured out right now and the reason why we spend so much time doing these chord progressions is because that's how songs are made. So, if you want to be able to play songs, it's a really good idea to practice all these chords the way that we're doing. That being said, let's go to the next lesson where I'll give you some recommendation.
