The best advice I ever got, when starting out was from an exasperated guitar mentor who told me
"you guys need to stop trying to figure out the strumming pattern and just FEEL the music"
Of course, I found that hard to comprehend but I embraced it and it has made all the difference.
Don't worry about the strumming pattern. Just FEEL the music. The strumming pattern is the result of playing as you feel.
If you feel it, the strumming pattern happens.
By using a strumming pattern, you are trying to force the feeling. It's the tail waggin' the dog
