Three Little Birds Strumming Patterns:
You can always do 3 or 4 down strums per chord to keep it simple depending on how fast your chord changes are. Or if you want something a little more exciting, thy the strumming pattern below.
Strumming:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
DU DU DU DU
If you want more of that "reggae" feel you can play on the up strums of each chord:
Reggae Strum:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

This can sometimes be challenging for beginners you don’t have a lot of practice with up strums yet, but go slow and I’m sure you will pick it up in no time.
