[Strumming pattern]
It's kinda complex, but if you watch the live video you'll pick up the strumming pattern.
Generally speaking, it's downstrum, pluck G, downstrum, pluck B. However, it varies.
Listen to get the rhythm, this tab gives you chord shapes but not exactly what to play.
Strumming pattern sample:
Chord names are above, up (u) or down (d) is below.
Use your thumb for down/strums and your index/middle for up/plucks.
You can also just play the full chord each time instead of plucking part of the string.
