A320drvr - I’m curious if your forum name means you are an Airbus 320 pilot.....

I share your frustrations with strum patterns and the difficulty learning or figuring them out. Though I am getting better I also struggle with them. I feel they are the most overlooked element of learning guitar for beginners and the most challenging.

It is hit or miss - Ultimate Guitar is my primary site for tabs - some have strum patterns, many don’t. The tabs are crowd sourced so often they have inaccuracies and you have to modify them by listening to the song and adjusting. If a song I am trying to learn does not have a strum pattern, and I can’t find a You Tube lesson, I’ll search for the artist playing the song or a cover and try to decipher a useable pattern.

If that does not work I wing it but it will take me time to settle in a pattern.

Keep at it and good day.
