Yeah, hang in there. It took me a while to get the hang of the simple
D D U U D rhythm. Now that's so boring I have to do others.
It was harder for me to get used to the offbeat / syncopation.
Counting out the strump with numerals for the down stroke and the "and" word for the up strokes helped.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
D D U U D
Keep that hand going up and down in straight timing. You'll get the hang of it.
Edited because the D D U U D is supposed to be spaced where the D letters are under the 1 2 and 4 and the U letters are under the 2nd and 3rd and. After I saved it the spacing changed. Write it out on a piece of paper with the D and U lined up with the half beats.
