Tuning:
F (11233x) Am (01220x) Em (000220) Dm (x577765) C (x35553) Super easy and sounds great. About the strum pattern: I play this song with what I think of as a "typical" reggae finger picking pattern. The root note is played with the thumb, then the pointer finger flicks down quickly to play the rest of the chord. Immediately after that, the strings are muted with the palm and the fingers on the fretboard release pressure to stop the strings from buzzing. This creates a crisp stop. F: In this song, after playing the F chord three times the "typical" way, on the fourth time before switching to Am, there's a twist. The thumb plays the root note AND the string below, then the pointer finger flicks both down and up. Am: Am is played with the typical pattern once, then the second time before transitioning to Em, the pointer finger flicks both down and up. Em: Hit Em with the typical pattern twice. Now head back to F and repeat until the bridge. The bridge has different chords (Dm and C) but is still played with the typical pattern. It takes work to train your fingers to move like this, but it will serve you well if you're learning other reggae-type songs. You're also developing new neuronal circuits in your brain, so go you. The best practice is to listen to the song a bunch and keep trying, even when it feels like you'll never get it. Here's an acoustic version of the song. Good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ttYA_XvuI
