My second music blog updates how I have started to learn the chords and strum pattern of my second song choice: You Are My Sunshine. I also continue to work on mastering the chords and strum pattern of Riptide by Vance Joy.

 

The chords needed for You Are My Sunshine are: C, F, and G. The strumming pattern is: down, down, down, up, down. Below is a video of me practicing the chords separately first, then combining the strumming pattern when playing each chord.

 

Most of the song Riptide by Vance Joy repeats the chords: Am, G, and Cx2 throughout the song. Below is a video of me playing those chords, combined with the strumming pattern, a couple of times.
