Can anyone help me out with the strumming pattern for the Lemonheads song, "It's a Shame About Ray"? I think I have all the chords down, but I can't figure out the strumming. Thank you in advance

    I believe he is right I would just play along to the video and try and match Evan's hands and don't over think it just make it sound good to you
